Germination of Excised Fraxinus ornus Embryos With and Without Phleomycin.
نویسندگان
چکیده
In excised embryos of Fraxinus ornus, the first macroscopic sign of germination is a curvature near the root apex. Histological studies show that this curvature is due to cell elongation on the convex side and is accompanied by cell division. Metabolic changes, manifested by the disintegration of protein bodies and tissue differentiation, also occur during this time. In embryos treated with phleomycin cell division is completely inhibited but elongation, root hair formation, disintegration of protein bodies, and differentiation are still detectable. Phleomycin also drastically inhibits the formation of chlorophylls and the fresh weight increase of embryos.

Abscisic Acid levels and seed dormancy.
Dormant seeds from Fraxinus species require cold-temperature after-ripening prior to germination. Earlier, we found that abscisic acid (ABA) will inhibit germination of excised nondormant embryos and that this can be reversed with a combination of gibberellic acid and kinetin. Using Milborrow's quantitative "racemate dilution" method the ABA concentration in 3 types of Fraxinus seed and pericar...
متن کاملEffects of endophytic fungi on the ash dieback pathogen.
While Hymenoscyphus fraxineus causes dieback of the European ash (Fraxinus excelsior), flowering ash (F. ornus) appears resistant to the pathogen. To date, contributions of endophytic fungi to host resistance are unknown. The following hypotheses were tested: (i) endophytic fungi enhance the resistance of F. excelsior to the pathogen; (ii) resistance of F. ornus relies on its community of endop...
متن کاملThe effects of BAP, IBA and genotypes on in vitro germination of immature walnut embryos
A prerequisite for most plant transformation systems is an efficient and reliable method to regenerate phenotypically normal plants. The present studies were undertaken with a view to the effects of Benzyl amino purine (BAP) and Indol butyric acid (IBA) hormones and genotypes on in vitro germination of immature embryos in walnut (Juglans regia L.). The immature embryos of walnut were excised fr...
متن کاملChloroplast DNA phylogeography of European ashes, Fraxinus sp. (Oleaceae): roles of hybridization and life history traits.
We investigated range-wide phylogeographic variation in three European ash species (Fraxinus sp., Oleaceae). Chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) microsatellites were typed in the thermophilous Fraxinus angustifolia and Fraxinus ornus and the observed haplotypes and the geographic distribution of diversity were compared to cpDNA data previously obtained in the more cold-tolerant Fraxinus excelsior. We found...
