The role of glutathione in the development and release of rest on 'Redhaven' peaches

Creator:

Siller-Cepeda, Jorge H.

Abstract:

A rapid and sensitive HPLC method for quantifying both the reduced and oxidized forms of glutathione simultaneously in woody plant tissues was developed. This method was applicable to a variety of woody plant species and different tissues. Total glutathione content in the bark tissue of seven of the woody plant...

The free radical scavenging system in overcoming phytotoxicity and breaking dormancy

Creator:

Zhen, Liping

Abstract:

Hydrogen cyanamide (CY) induced earlier budbreak, more uniform and a higher percentage of budbreak in resting poplar (Populus alba x P. gradidentata, NC 5339) plants. However, it was phytotoxic to poplar when applied at 0.5 M or higher concentrations. Percent budbreak increased and percent dieback decreased when poplar plants were...

Indicators of deciduous shade tree development useful for timing chemical defoliation and harvest

Creator:

Hotze, Mary Louise

Abstract:

In the mild climate of the Pacific Northwest, the harvesting of deciduous shade trees in wholesale nurseries is prolonged from October to January because of autumn growth and prolonged leaf retention. Economically, it is advantageous to defoliate nursery trees at the earliest possible date. Premature defoliation, however, can cause die...
