A tetraploid cytotype of Nujus marina L.

Plant regeneration of natural tetraploid Trifolium pratense L

The regeneration of natural tetraploid T. pratense, originated from Erzurum-Turkey, is reported in this study. This plant has low seed setting and hard seed problems due to polyploidy. Hypocotyl, cotyledon, apical meristems, epicotyl and young primary leaves were inoculated on MS and PC-L2 media containing different concentrations of BAP and NAA as growth regulators. The best shoot formation ha...

Observations on the burrowing of Arenicola marina (L.).

The hydrostatic skeleton of Arenicola marina has been investigated in some detail both by Chapman & Newell (1947) and by Wells (1954) and our knowledge of the habits of this species is broadly based on the extensive researches of the latter author (1961). When a new method of continuous pressure recording became available to me I immediately tried it out on Arenicola as an established standard ...

Evaluation of antioxidant activity in fruit extracts of Avicennia Marina L and Avicennia Officinalis L

Antioxidant activity of Avicenni marina L and Avicennia officinalis L fruit extracts in ethyl acetate, acetone, methanol and ethanol were studied by ABTS, CrO5 and FRAP method. All the extracts possessed significant amount of the antioxidant activity, extracts in methanol and ethanol was demonstrated convincingly higher antioxidant activity by all the three methods. Whereas, the ethyl acetate e...

Genome Physical Mapping of Polyploids: A BIBAC Physical Map of Cultivated Tetraploid Cotton, Gossypium hirsutum L

Polyploids account for approximately 70% of flowering plants, including many field, horticulture and forage crops. Cottons are a world-leading fiber and important oilseed crop, and a model species for study of plant polyploidization, cellulose biosynthesis and cell wall biogenesis. This study has addressed the concerns of physical mapping of polyploids with BACs and/or BIBACs by constructing a ...
