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...

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...

Nitrogen and environmental factors influence bark storage protein gene expression in poplar

Creator:: Banados, Maria Pilar
Abstract:: In poplar (Populus spp.) a 32-kilodalton bark storage protein (BSP) accumulates during the fall and winter, and is thought to be a major storage form of overwintering nitrogen. BSP is induced by short-day (SD) photoperiod, and under natural conditions BSP accumulation coincides with the induction of dormancy. Because BSP accumulates...

Enhancement of cold tolerance in tomato plants by genetic engineering of glycinebetaine biosynthesis

Creator:: Park, Eung-Jun
Abstract:: 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...

Evaluation of allelopathy as a mechanism by which buckwheat suppresses Canada thistle and its mycorrhizae

Creator:: Eskelsen, Steven R.
Abstract:: Experiments were conducted to determine if allelopathy is a mechanism by which buckwheat interferes with a) the growth of Canada thistle and/or b) mycorrhizae colonization in Canada thistle roots. In a competition experiment, buckwheat plant biomass was only affected by the intraspecific competition from other buckwheat plants and not by...

Hydrogen cyanamide on triphenyltetrazolium chloride reduction, sulfhydryl group binding, and catalase activity in bromegrass (Bromus inermis Leyss) cells

Creator:: Zhen, Liping
Abstract:: Hydrogen cyanamide (CY) has been used to break rest in temperate crops, but levels used to overcome rest are sometimes toxic to plants. The rest breaking effect of CY is thought to involve peroxide metabolism. Inhibition of catalase by CY has been proposed as a mechanism for overcoming dormancy in...

Changes in developing strawberry fruit : I. Cell division and enlargement ; and II. Biosynthesis of anthocyanins and other phenolics and activity of associated enzymes

Creator:: Cheng, Guiwen
Abstract:: Size and color are important visual quantity attributes of the fruit of strawberry (Fmgaria x ananassa Duch.). Strawberry cultivars produce fruit of a characteristic size and color, the later being the result of accumulation of particular anthocyanins. This research sought to determine the basis for genotypic differences in fruit size...
