Study of Genetic Diversity of Wild and Regenerated Accessions of Acorus calamus (Acoraceae) by ISSR Markers

Sweet flag (Acorus calamus) is a perennial, semi-aquatic and aromatic plant of the family Acoraceae that, in addition to its multiple medicinal properties, is used in health, food and agricultural industries (as pest control). This research was conducted to comparasion study of genetic diversity of natural and regenerated plants from tissue culture of Arzefon, Pelesk and Alandan populations of ...

Metabolic Requirement of Cucurbita pepo for Boron.

Lateral roots of intact summer squash seedlings (Cucurbita pepo L.) were used to quantify the effects of boron deficiency on DNA synthesis, protein synthesis, and respiration. The temporal relationship between changes in these metabolic activities and the cessation of root elongation caused by boron deprivation was determined. Transferring 5-day-old squash seedlings to a hydroponic culture medi...

The influence of plant growth regulators on callus induction in pumpkin (Cucurbita pepo L.) hairy roots.

Following in vitro infection with Agrobacterium rhizogenes wild strain (mannopine, 8196) and two A. tumefaciens transconjugant strains (C58C1 pArA4abc and C58C1 pArA4b) transformed (hairy) roots were induced in pumpkin (C. pepo L.) cotyledons. The presence of pRi T-DNA in pumpkin long-term hairy root cultures was determined by Southern hybridization. The influence of plant growth regulators on ...

Distribution of a - Galactosidase in Cucurbita pepo

The distribution of a-galactosidase (a-D-galactoside galactohydrolase IEC 3.2.1.221) in Cucurbita pepo has been determined in an attempt to assess its involvement in hydrolysis of transport sugars of the raffinose oligosaccharide series (la-1-6-galactopyranosyllj sucrose). Extracts prepared from leaves and petioles at different stages of development, roots, flowers, dry and germinating seeds, a...
