Genetic transformation of European chestnut somatic embryos with a native thaumatin-like protein (CsTL1) gene isolated from Castanea sativa seeds.
The availability of a system for direct transfer of antifungal candidate genes into European chestnut (Castanea sativa Mill.) would offer an alternative approach to conventional breeding for production of chestnut trees tolerant to ink disease caused by Phytophthora spp. For the first time, a chestnut thaumatin-like protein gene (CsTL1), isolated from chestnut cotyledons, has been overexpressed...
متن کاملAgrobacterium-mediated co-transformation of American Chestnut (Castanea dentata) somatic embryos with a wheat oxalate oxidase gene
Background American chestnut is a tree of great historical, ecological, and economical importance. It once dominated forests in eastern United States until the introduction of chestnut blight fungus (Cryphonectria parasitica) in the late 19th century. Within 50 years, C. parasitica killed almost all of the 4 billion American chestnut trees in the eastern United States. The fungus first infects ...
متن کاملNutritional quality of chestnut (Castanea sativa Mill.) cultivars from Portugal
Chemical composition of eight sweet chestnut cultivars from the three protected designation of origin (PDO) areas in the Trás-osMontes region were studied: Aveleira, Rebordã, Trigueira and Zeive from PDO ‘Terra Fria’, Demanda, Longal and Martaı́nha from PDO ‘Soutos da Lapa’ and Judia from PDO ‘Padrela’. Chestnuts were characterised by high moisture content ( 50%), high levels of starch (43 g 100...
متن کاملCharacterization of Chestnut (Castanea sativa, Mill) Starch for Industrial Utilization
Studies were conducted to characterize the chestnut and its starch. Chemical composition of the chestnuts showed high level of starch. Moisture level in the raw nuts was around 50g/100g in wet basis and starch content, around 80g/100g in dry basis; other nut flour components were protein (5.58 g/100g), lipid (5.39 g/100g), crude fiber (2.34 g/100g) and ash (2.14 g/100g). Starch fraction was che...
متن کاملSite Index Curves for European Chestnut (castanea Sativa Mill.) in Belasitsa Mountain Krivulje Indeksa Staništa Za Pitomi Kesten (castanea Sativa Mill.) Na Planini Belasici
Richards, Lundqvist-Korf and Hossfeld growth functions were fi tted to age-height data of European chestnut (Castanea sativa Mill.) dominant trees on the northern slopes of Belasitsa mountain, Southwest Bulgaria. Th e model prediction performance was evaluated using quantitative as well as qualitative examinations. Goodness of fi t of each model was estimated by the coeffi cient of determinatio...
