Differential Effects of Increasing Salinity on Germination and Seedling Growth of Native and Exotic Invasive Cordgrasses [PDF]
Soil salinity is a key environmental factor influencing germination and seedling establishment in salt marshes. Global warming and sea level rise are changing estuarine salinity, and may modify the colonization ability of halophytes.

The effects of different combinations and varying concentrations of growth regulators on the regeneration of selected Turkish cultivars of melon [PDF]
Cucurbits are an economically important family of plants. The majority of the vegetable production in Turkey, for example, derives from the species beloning to the family Cucurbitaceae. Despite the importance of cucurbits among vegetable crops worldwide,

Glycosylation of Pea Cotyledon Membranes [PDF]
Pea cotyledons were injected with d-[(14)C]mannose or d-[(14)C]-glucosamine and incubated for 1 to 1.5 hours. Cotyledons were homogenized and subcellular fractions were isolated by differential centrifugation followed by linear sucrose density gradient centrifugation.Radioactivity that was precipitated by trichloroacetic acid was associated most ...

Mutations in UDP-Glucose:Sterol Glucosyltransferase in Arabidopsis Cause Transparent Testa Phenotype and Suberization Defect in Seeds [PDF]
In higher plants, the most abundant sterol derivatives are steryl glycosides (SGs) and acyl SGs. Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) contains two genes, UGT80A2 and UGT80B1, that encode UDP-Glc:sterol glycosyltransferases, enzymes that catalyze the ...

Leafy Cotyledon Mutants of Arabidopsis [PDF]
We have previously described a homeotic leafy cotyledon (lec) mutant of Arabidopsis that exhibits striking defects in embryonic maturation and produces viviparous embryos with cotyledons that are partially transformed into leaves. In this study, we present further details on the developmental anatomy of mutant embryos, characterize their response to ...

Oilseed rape is characterized by a low nitrogen remobilization efficiency during leaf senescence, mainly due to a lack of proteolysis. Because cotyledons are subjected to senescence, it was hypothesized that contrasting protease activities between ...

Proteomic and biochemical analyses of the cotyledon and root of flooding-stressed soybean plants. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Flooding significantly reduces the growth and grain yield of soybean plants. Proteomic and biochemical techniques were used to determine whether the function of cotyledon and root is altered in soybean under flooding stress.
