Leaf growth in pollarded and Populus euramericana (Dode) Guinier

Efficient Agrobacterium-Mediated Transformation and Analysis of Transgenic Plants in Hybrid Black Poplar (Populus × euromericana Dode Guinier)

Black poplar (Populus× euramericana Dode Guinier) is an industrially important tree with broad applications in wood and paper, biofuel and cellulose-based industries as well as plant breeding programs and soil phytoremediation approaches. Here, we have focused on development of direct shoot regeneration and Agrobacterium-mediated transformation protocols using the in vitro internodal stem tissu...

Photosynthesis, photorespiration, and dark respiration in Populus x euramericana: effects of genotype and leaf age

Responses of Populus deltoides × Populus nigra ( Populus × euramericana ) clone I - 214 to high zinc concentrations

• We hypothesized that poplar can be useful for the extraction of zinc (Zn) from contaminated soils and water. However, the physiological response and the base of tolerance of poplar plants to this heavy metal are little known. • Plants of Populus deltoides × P . nigra ( P. × euramericana ) I-214 clone were grown in glasshouse and treated with three different Zn concentrations (1, 100 and 1000 ...

Efficient Agrobacterium-Mediated Transformation of Hybrid Poplar Populus davidiana Dode × Populus bollena Lauche

Poplar is a model organism for high in vitro regeneration in woody plants. We have chosen a hybrid poplar Populus davidiana Dode x Populus bollena Lauche. By optimizing the Murashige and Skoog medium with (0.3 mg/L) 6-benzylaminopurine and (0.08 mg/L) naphthaleneacetic acid, we have achieved the highest frequency (90%) for shoot regeneration from poplar leaves. It was also important to improve ...

Composition of Propolis in Oxfordshire, U.K. and its Relation to Poplar Bud Exudate

Propolis is a mixture of wax, sugars and plant exudates used by bees as a general purpose glue and sealant within hives. There is a long history of medicinal usage of propolis although propolis can cause allergic reactions in susceptible individuals [1, 2]. Various components of propolis have been assessed for their antimicrobial properties [3—7], Components identified as having antimicrobial p...
