The effect of dormancy on glucose uptake in gladiolus cormels.
The uptake of glucose and of 3-O-methyl-d-glucose by cormel slices of Gladiolus X gandavensis Van Houtte was studied in relation to cormel dormancy. Uptake was higher in nondormant cormels. Incubation of nondormant cormels with abscisic acid (ABA) reduced their uptake capacity. Treatment of dormant cormels with 6-benzyladenine (BA) did not affect their uptake rate. ABA and BA promoted O(2) upta...
متن کاملDark CO(2) Fixation in Gladiolus Cormels and Its Regulation during the Break of Dormancy.
The increase in dark CO(2) fixation during cold storage of Gladiolus x gandavensis van Houtte-type grandiflorus cormels is used to monitor changes in their state of dormancy. Dark fixation is also promoted by benzyladenine, which breaks cormel dormancy, and is inhibited by abscisic acid and gibberellin A(3), which inhibit cormel germination. The rate of dark fixation by nondormant cormels is fi...
متن کاملDevelopment and Performance Evaluation of a Gladiolus Planter in Field for Planting Corms
Abstract—Gladiolus is an important cash crop and is grown mainly for its elegant spikes. Traditionally the gladiolus corms are planted manually which is very tedious, time consuming and labor intensive operation. So far, there is no planter available for planting of gladiolus corms. With a view to mechanize the planting operation of this horticultural crop, a prototype of 4-row gladiolus plante...
متن کاملBiolistic inoculation of gladiolus with cucumber mosaic cucumovirus.
A new method of inoculation of gladiolus with cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) was developed using the Bio-Rad Helios Gene Gun System. This method circumvents the traditional use of aphids to transmit CMV, a virus that is mechanically transmissible to many plant species but only with difficulty to gladiolus. Cartridges containing virus-coated gold microcarriers were prepared and the virus shot into ...
متن کاملThe effect of dormancy on the heat shock response in gladiolus cormels.
Cormels of Gladiolus X gandavensis Van Houtte respond to heat shock by an induced synthesis of heat shock proteins. Synthesis of some of the non-heat shock proteins is concomitantly reduced. The ability of dormant cormels to synthesize heat shock proteins (hsps) and to repress the synthesis of non-hsps is greater than that of nondormant ones. A hsp of apparent molecular weight 68 kilodaltons is...
