A simple, accurate, precise and sensitive UV spectrophotometric method was developed for determination of total protein in seeds of Pisum sativum L. (Fabaceae). Phosphate buffer used as solvent and wavelength corresponding to maximum absorbance of the protein was found at 278.60nm. Beers law was observed in the concentration range of 2001000μg/ml with correlation coefficient 0.9996. The linear ...

PREMISE OF THE STUDY Expressed sequence tag (EST)-derived simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers were developed in Pisum sativum for further use in genetic studies and breeding programs. METHODS AND RESULTS Forty-one novel EST-SSR primers were developed and characterized for size polymorphism in 32 Pisum sativum individuals from four populations from China. In each population, the number of all...

A wild relative of the garden pea, formerly called Pisum sativum L., but now included in genus Lathyrus, is illustrated, and its relationship to cultivated peas discussed. Recent studies DNA Lathyrus have led change name for this common species.

A highly sensitive laser-driven photoacoustic detector responsive to [less than or equal to]2.1 nmol m-3 ethylene (50 parts per trillion [v/v]) was used for ethylene analysis. Dark-grown plants of Potamogeton pectinatus L. growing from small tubers made no ethylene. Exposure of shoots to white light, wounding, submergence in water followed by desubmergence, partial oxygen shortage, indole aceti...
