Impact of intraspecific competition on photosynthetic apparatus efficiency in potato (Solanum tuberosum) plants

Accumulation of heavy metals in plants and potential phytoremediation of lead by potato, Solanum tuberosum L.

The use of sewage sludge as a source of nutrients in crop production is increasing in the United States and worldwide. A field study was conducted on a 10% slope at Kentucky State University Research Farm. Eighteen plots of 22x3.7 m each were separated using metal borders and the soil in six plots was mixed with sewage sludge, six plots were mixed with yard waste compost, and six unamended plot...

Distribution of lactate dehydrogenase isoenzymes in potato (Solanum tuberosum) and other plants.

A, digestive gland; B, buccal cavity; C, mantle muscle; D, eye; E, brain. The lower margin of the photograph is the position reached by bromophenol blue. The L-LDH was specifically isolated by affinity chromatography before application to the tops of gels (see text). Electrophoresis was carried out in tubes of 7.5% (w/v) polyacrylamide at pH 8.3 according t o the method of Davis 1.51. LDH was v...

IN VITRO REGENERATION OF POTATO (Solanum tuberosum L.)

The experiment was conducted during the period from January to December, 2008 at the Laboratory of Biotechnology, Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute, Gazipur, Bangladesh. A two step procedure was followed for direct plant regeneration of potato. Murashige and Skoog (MS) basal medium supplemented with 0.5 mg l -1 IBA and 30 g sugar was used for in vitro potato plants development via noda...
