RFLP analyses of interspecific hybrids of Phaseolus

Creator:

Kuo, Mei

Abstract:

Gene transfer via interspecific hybridization within Phaseolus has been limited by abnormal hybrid development and the rapid loss of hybridity in subsequent generations. The most advanced embryo development occurs in P. vulgaris x P. coccineus where mature seeds form. However, the reciprocal cross still results in abnormal embryos unable to...

Influence of photosynthesis and carbohydrates on adventitious root formation by leafy cuttings

Creator:

Davis, Tim D.

Abstract:

Many investigators have suggested that current photosynthate supply can limit adventitious root formation on leafy cuttings. Accordingly, studies were undertaken to determine the effects of altering photosynthesis and carbohydrate levels on adventitious root formation by leafy cuttings of a number of different species. Pea cuttings rooted at high CO₂ (1800...

Sugar uptake, fruit growth and carbon partitioning in the strawberry

Creator:

Forney, Charles F.

Abstract:

Sinks, plant organs which depend on the import of assimilates for growth, play a central role in determining assimilate distribution patterns within the plant. The strawberry fruit is a strong sink for dry matter and its effect on carbon partitioning and assimilation in the plant as well as the mechanism...
