Cytogenetic analysis of reciprocal hybrids and their parents between Larix leptolepis and Larix gmelinii: implications for identifying hybrids

Leaf conductance and CO2 assimilation of Larix gmelinii growin

carbon dioxide (CO2) assimilation, and transpiration in a Larix gmelinii (Rupr.) Rupr. ex Kuzen forest in eastern Siberia. At the CO2 concentration of ambient air, maximum values (mean of 10 highest measured values) for CO2 assimilation, transpiration and leaf conductance for water vapor were 10.1 μmol m s, 3.9 mmol m s and 365 mmol m s, respectively. The corresponding mean values, which were m...

A comarison between in vitro culture of two tomato parental lines and their reciprocal hybrids

Development and Characterization of Novel EST-SSRs from Larix gmelinii and Their Cross-Species Transferability.

A set of 899 L. gmelinii expression sequence tags (ESTs), available at the National Center of Biotechnology Information (NCBI), was employed to address the feasibility on development of simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers for Larch species. Totally, 634 non-redundant unigenes including 145 contigs and 489 singletons were finally identified and mainly involved in biosynthetic, metabolic process...

Carbon dioxide exchange of larch (Larix gmelinii) cones during development.

Larch (Larix gmelinii (Rupr.) Rupr.) cone scales are green, but little is known of their photosynthetic role in cone development or about how they differ in gas exchange characteristics from needle leaves. In contrast to leaf photosynthesis (Pleaf), we found that stomatal regulation of cone photosynthetic rate (Pcone) was marginal because the photosynthetic carbon came from internal recycling o...

Transcriptome Analysis of mRNA and miRNA in Somatic Embryos of Larix leptolepis Subjected to Hydrogen Treatment

Hydrogen is a therapeutic antioxidant that has been used extensively in clinical trials. It also acts as a bioactive molecule that can alleviate abiotic stress in plants. However, the biological effects of hydrogen in somatic embryos and the underlying molecular basis remain largely unknown. In this study, the morphological and physiological influence of exogenous H₂ treatment during somatic em...
