this research was carried out in a reforest at shirvanagriculturecollegein two years (2005-2007). the aim of this research was to determine of canopy interception loss, throughfall and stemflow. four trees species were used including pinus nigra, cupressus sempervirens, robinia pseudacacia and platanus orientalis with three replications. the results showed that the amount of canopy interception...

Black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia L.) is characterized by fast growth, low environmental requirements and aesthetic values therefore it has become a very popular tree planted in forest urban areas. In recent years, altered shape trees with virus-like symptoms on their leaves have been observed. Therefore, the aim of this work was to identify virus species potentially causing visible symptoms. ...

Black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia L. of the family Fabaceae) is an ecologically and economically important deciduous tree. However, few genomic resources are available for this forest species, and few effective expressed sequence tag-derived simple sequence repeat (EST-SSR) markers have been developed to date. In this study, paired-end sequencing was used to sequence transcriptomes of R. pseud...

Two lectins were isolated from the inner bark of Robinia pseudoacacia (black locust). The first (and major) lectin (called RPbAI) is composed of five isolectins that originate from the association of 31.5- and 29-kD polypeptides into tetramers. In contrast, the second (minor) lectin (called RPbAII) is a hometetramer composed of 26-kD subunits. The cDNA clones encoding the polypeptides of RPbAI ...

The paper analyzes the elements of stand structure and proposes silvicultural measures to improve conditions in black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia L.) common hackberry (Celtis occidentalis aged 28 years Subotica-Horgos sands. research was performed on three permanent experimental plots which selective thinning (T1 T2) experimentally two plots, while one left as a control plot (C).Initially, 528...

THE PURPOSE OF THIS STUDY WAS THE QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS OF FLAVONOIDS FROM ROBINIA PSEUDOACACIA USING TWO DIFFERENT TECHNIQUES OF ANALYSIS: Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) and TLC coupled with photo-densitometry. The results obtained by chromatographic analysis showed a higher concentration of flavonoids in flowers than in leaves. The flowers harvested in the plains have a highe...

afforestation of contaminated areas is considered as a possible strategy for reduction of contaminations. in the present study, the effects of lead (pb) and cadmium (cd) were investigated on chlorophyll fluorescence parameters (fv/fm, fo, and fm), photosynthetic pigments (chlorophyll a, b, and total chlorophyll), and proline in one-year-old seedlings of celtis caucasica and robinia pseudoacacia...

Influences of light and darkness on l-phenylalanine ammonia-lyase activity of black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia) seedlings were studied. Light initiates both an increase in enzyme activity (or enzyme synthesis) and a subsequent decrease in activity. These dual influences of light create cyclic changes in l-phenylalanine ammonia lyase activity in continuous light. The cyclic changes in activity...
