The purpose of this research was to determine whether hybridization between Amelanchier denticulata. (H.B.K.) Koch and Amelanchier nervosa (Decaisne) StandL occurs in Oaxaca, Mexico, and to evaluate components of yield and germination characteristics and seed dormancy of Amelanchier denticulata. Amelanchier nervosa and Amelanchier denticulata samples and morphological characters were used...
Tomato [Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.] plants are chilling sensitive and do not
naturally accumulate glycinebetaine (GB), a metabolite that functions as a stress
protectant in plants. While GB can increase tolerance of tomato plants to salt and
drought stresses, its effect on chilling tolerance has not been examined. To evaluate
whether...
