Ethylene response factors gene regulation and expression profiles under different stresses in rice

Stresses can cause large yield reductions in cultivated plants. The response to these stresses occurs via a plethora of signalling pathways, where a large number of genes is induced or repressed. Among the environmental stress responsive genes, there are the members of the ethylene response factors (ERF) gene family. The mRNA levels of different ERF are regulated by many hormones and molecules ...

Quick Estimation of Apple (Red Delicious and Golden Delicious) Leaf Area and Chlorophyll Content

ABSTRACT- The evaluation of leaf area and leaf nutritional value is important for crop growth modeling and estimations of its performance. The purpose of this study was to use image processing techniques to develop an economical method to ease the assessment of nutrient status and leaf area (LA) of plants and to compare the outcomes of this method with linear models. Leaf area and leaf chloroph...

Mycotoxin production by Alternaria alternata strains isolated from red delicious apples in Argentina.

Eleven Alternaria alternata strains isolated from Red Delicious apples in cold storage in Argentina, were tested for alternariol and alternariol methyl ether production in laboratory media and in whole fresh fruits. Most of them were able to produce both toxins in all media. They were detected also in mycelium free filtrates from liquid cultures and in asymptomatic tissues from inoculated fruit...
