Light controls bud burst in many plants, which subsequently affects their architecture. Nevertheless, very little is known about this photomorphogenic process. This study ascertains the effects of light on bud burst and on two of its components, i.e. growth of preformed leaves and meristem organogenesis in six cultivars from three Rosa species (R. hybrida L., R. chinensis L., R. wichurana L.). ...

Major volatiles from young and mature leaves of different citrus types were analyzed by headspace-solid phase microextraction (HS-SPME)-GC-MS. A total of 123 components were identified form nine citrus cultivars, including nine aldehydes, 19 monoterpene hydrocarbons, 27 oxygenated monoterpenes, 43 sesquiterpene hydrocarbons, eight oxygenated sesquiterpenes, two ketones, six esters and nine misc...

A broad germplasm bank collection containing most of the autochthonous Spanish grapevine cultivars was analyzed using six sequence-tagged microsatellite site (STMS) loci: VVS2, VVMDS, VVMD7, ssrVrZAG47, ssrVrZAG62, and ssrVrZAG79. The number of alleles obtained ranged from 9 in ssrVrZAG47 to 13 in VVS2, and the observed genotypes per locus varied between 24 (ssrVrZAG47) and 41 (VVSS2). A total ...

Chinese bayberry (Morella rubra Sieb. et Zucc.) fruit have a diverse flavonoid composition responsible for the various medicinal activities, including anti-diabetes. In the present study, efficient simultaneous purification of four flavonoid glycosides, i.e., cyanidin-3-O-glucoside (1), myricetin-3-O-rhamnoside (2), quercetin-3-O-galactoside (3), quercetin-3-O-rhamnoside (4), from Chinese baybe...

Major soluble proteins of grapevine ripe berries were extracted from six different cultivars including non vinifera, with trichloroacetic acid acetone and resolved in two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE) gels. About three hundred spots were detected on the 2-DE map after colloidal blue staining. From 2-DE map of cv. Gamay mesocarp, 67 proteins were identified (p > 0.95) using matrix-assisted ...

pomegranate, a small tree with potential human health benefits, is grown mainly in iran, india and usa as well as in most near and far east countries. it has been used extensively in folk medicine for a number of therapeutic purposes. in the present study, the ferric reducing/antioxidant power assay (frap) was employed and the frap value of the seed fraction of six different cultivars of pomegr...

The Volga region is one of the main grain-producing regions Russia. Wheat stem rust caused by Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici among most destructive fungal diseases wheat. Recently, its harmfulness has increased in region. In this regard, an analysis resistance and diversity Sr genes Russian wheat cultivars necessary. work, 126 (including 23 durum 103 bread cultivars) approved for use were eva...

North American isolates of Colletotrichum coccodes, representing six vegetative compatibility groups (NA-VCG), were used to study morphological and pathogenic variability. The objective was to determine if variability in conidial and microsclerotial size was related to pathogenicity. Significant differences were detected in length, width, and length/width ratios of conidia as well as in the len...
