Overexpression of antioxidant genes in transgenic tomato tolerant against multiple stresses

Creator:

Wang, Yueju

Abstract:

The effect of increased manganese superoxide dismutase (Mn-SOD) and cytosolic ascorbate peroxidase (cAPX) on various abiotic stresses was studied using transgenic tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) plants. Transformants were selected in vitro based on kanamycin resistance, confirmed by PCR and northern blot analyses. Northern blots showed an enhanced gene expression of Mn-SOD...

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...

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...
