Physiological Responses in Potato Plants under Continuous Irradiation

Physiological basis of drought tolerance in potato grown under long-term water deficiency

Coping with water shortages without compromising tuber yield is a majorchallenge for potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) production in northern China. In thisstudy, we used three potato cultivars with different sensitivities to drought toevaluate the effect of long-term drought stress on morphological and physiologicalcharacteristics under field conditions during three growing seasons (2009-2011).Our...

The responses of potato cultivars to osmotic and temperature stresses under in vitro conditions

In order to investigate the responses of potato plantlets under in vitro conditions to osmotic and temperature stresses, a factorial experiment was carried out in a completely randomized design with three replications. Each replicate contained a glass jar with 5 explants grown in it. The first...

Seasonal changes in some physiological and biochemical responses of six groundcover plants

Landscape groundcover plants are a diverse group of trailing or spreading species that naturally form continuous soil coverage.Ground cover plants that were used in this study consisted of vegetative propagules of: Vinca minor L. ٬Variegatum’, Vinca minor L. ٬Green’, Oxalis brasiliensis G. Lodd, Trifolium repens L., Phyla nodiflora L. and Frankenia thymifolia Desf. The aim of this study was to ...

Antioxidant Isozymes Activities in Potato Plants (Solanum tuberosum L.) Under Salt Stress

Plants under Continuous Light: A Review

In this review an attempt has been made to analyze the results of the studies that explored the changes in the growth and development of plants exposed to continuous light published since the 1930s, including papers that are available in Russian only. Potential benefits of using a 24-h photoperiod for the production of greenhouse crops, transplant production in closed controlled environment sys...
