Characteristics of ice nucleation in potato leaves

Creator:: Johnson, Lori K.
Abstract:: The innate ability of potato leaf tissue to initiate freezing was studied. Two potato species, the non-hardy cultivated potato Solanum tuberosum L. cv. Russet Burbank, and Solanum acaule Bitt. a hardy species from South America, were studied. Two treatments, low (cold) and high (warm) temperatures were included to study the...

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...

Ethylene production, vegetative maturity, and winter dormancy in red-osier dogwood

Creator:: Seibel, Janice Rose
Abstract:: The stage of dormancy development at which deciduous nursery stock can be safely defoliated for harvest was investigated in red-osier dogwood (Cornus stolonifera Michx.). This stage, previously called "vegetative maturity," was found to correspond to the onset of winter dormancy in red-osier dogwood. A reduction in ethylene production by excised...

The relationship of electrical impedance to vegetative maturity and dormancy in red-osier dogwood

Creator:: Parmelee, Kathleen Ann
Abstract:: Techniques to measure vegetative maturity and dormancy of deciduous nursery stock were investigated in red-osier dogwood. Previous methods which were based on: survival or tip dieback, change in level of ethylene production, xylem water potential, and alteration of square wave traces traces, provided no better indication of dormancy than did...

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...

Relationships between endogenous phenolic compounds of rhododendron tissues and organs and cold hardiness development

Creator:: Chalker-Scott, Linda
Abstract:: The leaching of water soluble phenolic compounds from cold stressed Rhododendron leaves was found to be a reliable indicator of tissue damage. In sublethally stressed leaf tissues, more and novel phenolic compounds appeared and were hypothesized to be precursors of cell wall components such as lignin and suberin. Subsequent radiolabeling...

Strategies for machine harvesting of mature coffee (Coffea arabica L.) fruits

Creator:: Tongumpai, Peeradet
Abstract:: Greenhouse and field grown coffee plants were used to study the synchronization of flowering and fruiting. The purpose of these studies was to develop methods of improving the selective harvesting of mature coffee fruits by machine. The studies were divided into 4 parts: 1) Synchronization of flowering, 2) Synchronization of...
