Metabolic Profile Discriminates and Predicts Arabidopsis Susceptibility to Virus under Field Conditions

Identification and Functional Characterization of Arabidopsis icl Mutant Under Trehalose Feeding in Light and Dark Conditions

Trehalose is a non-reducing sugar that plays an important role in plant growth and development. To study the role of trehalose on lipid metabolism and gluconeogenesis, Arabidopsis thaliana wild type (WT) and TreF (a line expressing trehalase) were grown on ½ MS medium with or without 100 mM sucrose and or trehalose in light or continuous darkness. In dark, trehalose leads skotomorphoge...

Influence of estuarine sediment on virus survival under field conditions.

The survival of poliovirus 1 (LSc) and echovirus 1 (Farouk) in estuarine water and sediment was studied in Galveston Bay, Texas. Viruses were suspended in estuarine water and sediment both in dialysis tubing and in chambers constructed with polycarbonate membrane walls. Virus inactivation rates in seawater were similar in both types of chambers. Virus adsorption to sediment greatly increased su...

Response of typha latiffolia to cutting competition and glyphosate under field conditions

evaluation of resistance of sugar beet hybrids to curly top virus under field conditions

in order to study the response of new sugar beet hybrids and cultivars to curly top disease in the field conditions, an experiment was carried out in a randomized complete block design with four replications and sixteen treatments in 2007 in fasa. each plot included a hybrid or cultivar planted in three rows with eight meter length and 50cm between- row spacing. after weeding and first thinning...

Comparative susceptibility of two banana cultivars to Banana bunchy top virus under laboratory and field environments.

Field and laboratory experiments were carried out on the island of Oahu, HI, to compare the susceptibility of the two most commonly grown banana (Musa sp.) cultivars in the state ('Dwarf Brazilian' or Santa Catarina [locally known as dwarf apple] and 'Williams') to the aphid-borne Banana bunchy top virus (genus Babuvirus, family Nanoviridae, BBTV). Several morphological and physiological featur...
