poplar natural hybrids in experimental nurseries

studying the growth and morphological characteristics of euphrate poplar and white poplar hybrids in experimental nursery of khouzestan province

populus alba because of fast growing and relatively adapting to dry and semi-dry climate conditions and p.euphratica because of salt tolerating are important as native species. cuttings of 18 clones (p.alba x p.euphratica), a single reciprocal crossed clone (p. euphratica x alba) and 2 other p. alba clones were planted, surveyed under a rcbd with 3 replications each of which including 10 indivi...

Transcriptome analysis of response to drought in poplar interspecific hybrids

To investigate the response of poplar hybrids to drought, leaves were collected from plants to which water was suspended for 8 and 13 days. After measuring the respective relative water content, RNAs were isolated from leaves of moderately and severely droughted plants and from control plants, and Illumina RNA sequencing was performed to analyze RNA synthesis in these tissues. Our data provide ...

Natural genetic variability reduces recalcitrance in poplar.

BACKGROUND Lignin content and structure are known to affect recalcitrance of lignocellulosic biomass to chemical/biochemical conversion. Previously, we identified rare Populus trichocarpa natural variants with significantly reduced lignin content. Because reduced lignin content may lower recalcitrance, 18 rare variants along with 4 comparators, and BESC standard Populus was analyzed for composi...

Natural Product Hybrids

this review highlights several classes of natural product hybrids. First, structural hybrids emanating from different biosynthetic pathways exemplified by the polyketide peptide alkaloid anachelin are discussed. Another class is the so-called functional hybrids, where different functions of natural products are hybridized. the conjugate between nostocarboline and the well-known antibacterial ag...

Weight and Height in Tehran Nurseries

Summary In order to examine the Summary .growth status or children in Tehran nurseries in comparison to the international standards, height and Weight in 526 boys and 557 girls 3 to 7 year old in 7 nurseries located in the well­to-do areas of the capital were surveyed and compared to the National Center for Health Statistics figures. 54.5% or the children were between -1 SD to + 1 SD weight fo...
