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...

Ectopic overexpression of Arabidopsis CBF genes enhances freezing tolerance of two potato species

Creator:: Pino, María-Teresa
Abstract:: Solanum species differ in their degree of frost tolerance and cold acclimation capacity. Cultivated potato species of Solanum tuberosum L. are frost-sensitive, incapable of cold acclimation, and have a maximum freezing tolerance of –3°C. Solanum commersonii Dun is frost-tolerant and can survive to –5ºC pre-acclimation and –10ºC post-acclimation. Breeding attempts...

Soil temperature suppression on growth and yield of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) in warm climates of Sri Lanka

Creator:: Tharmarajah, S. K.
Abstract:: Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is one of the most productive and nutritious food crops. Due to its adaptability to cool climates, production in Sri Lanka has been restricted to erosion-prone highlands. Vast potential exists for expansion of potato cultivation in the lowlands while production areas in the highlands are limited...

Molecular genetics of frost hardiness and cold acclimation in Solanum species

Creator:: Valverde, Roberto
Abstract:: Frost injury is one of the major factors limiting potato production in many parts of the world. It would be desirable to transfer the frost-tolerance traits from the hardy relatives to the cultivated potato, however, progress has been very slow. Since Solanum commersonii has been the major source of frost...

Effect of boron on seven vegetable crops grown on two soil types

Creator:: Oneida, Kelly Ann
Abstract:: Boron deficiency or toxicity can reduce yield and quality of vegetables. Seven vegetable crops, varying from low to high boron requirements were grown in field plots at Corvallis in 1987. Leaf-B and yield components of green bean, cucumber, potato, carrot, tomato, broccoli and table beet were examined under conditions of...

Development, detection and elimination of Verticillium dahliae in mint shoot cultures and effects of bacterial cultures and bacterization on the growth and disease development

Creator:: Wang, Nan
Abstract:: Roots of greenhouse-grown peppermint (Mentha piperita L.) and spearmint (Mentha spicata L.) plants and in vitro-grown shoot cultures were inoculated with Verticillium dahliae conidial suspensions to study symptom development, detection, and elimination of the V. dahliae. There were significant differences in the symptom expression of control and infected shoot cultures...

Breeding tomato for increased fruit phenolics

Creator:: Boches, Peter S.
Abstract:: The purpose of this research was to develop tools and germplasm for the production of tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum L.) with high fruit phenolics without the use of genetic engineering. A candidate gene analysis was undertaken to identify genes regulating anthocyanin biosynthesis in tomato fruit (Aft, Abg, atv, and Purple Smudge)....

The influence of air and soil temperatures on the growth and development of Easter lily, Lilium longiflorum, during different growth phases

Creator:: Wang, Yin-Tung
Abstract:: Greenhouse-grown, September-harvested Lilium longiflorum cv. 'Nellie white' bulbs were used to determine temperature requirements during 5 pre-bloom and 1 post-bloom phases of development each of 1 month's duration. Plantes were subjected to 3 air temperatures(24°day/ 18°C night, 18°/13° and 13°/10°) in combination with soil temperatures at 30°, 24°, and equal...
