Response of Some Sugar Beet Varieties to Abscisic Acid Under Different Storage Periods

The role of abscisic acid in the response of two different wheat varieties to water deficit.

The changes in plant growth, transpiration rate, photosynthetic activity, plant pigments, electrolyte leakage, H2O2 content, lipid peroxidation, catalase activity and endogenous content of abscisic acid (ABA) were followed in the leaves of two wheat varieties (sakha 93 and 94) during drought stress and subsequent rehydration. Drought stress caused several inhibitory changes in the growth of bot...

Response of root yield and quality of sugar beet (beta vulgaris)to salt stress

Changes in Carbohydrates and Sugar Yield in Sugar Beet (Beta Vulgaris L.) Under Different Biofertilizers and Irrigation Closed Time

Objective: Many agronomic practices may need to be adjusted to maximize yield and quality of sugar beet. Thus agronomic package must be always modified. This sutdy was laid out for evaluation of changes in carbohydrates and sugar yield in sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) under different biofertilizers and irrigation closed time at Dorud region of Iran, during 2013. Methods: The experiment...

evaluation of resistance of some sugar beet genotypes to beet cyst nematode under greenhouse conditions

resistance of 11 genotypes of sugar beet to cyst nematode was evaluated in two separate greenhouse experiments in completely randomized design. in each experiment, 50 seedlings of each genotype were inoculated with 1000 nematode larves in several times. after 9 weeks, the number of cysts on each plant was counted. data were analyzed with sas program. the results showed that the genotypes differ...

Regulation and role of the Arabidopsis abscisic acid-insensitive 5 gene in abscisic acid, sugar, and stress response.

Abscisic acid (ABA) and stress response from late embryonic growth through early seedling development is regulated by a signaling network that includes the Arabidopsis ABA-insensitive (ABI)5 gene, which encodes a basic leucine zipper transcription factor. We have characterized genetic, developmental, and environmental regulation of ABI5 expression. Although expressed most strongly in seeds, the...
