Novel BAP degradation pathway during adventitious caulogenesis in Pinus pinea L. cotyledons

چکیده
Background Cytokinins (CKs) are a group of phytohormones which probably regulate the growth, development, and metabolism of all plants. The aromatic CK benzyladenine (BA) has been widely applied in in vitro culture for inducing shoot organogenesis. Our study of endogenous cytokinin profiles during the caulogenic process based on mature cotyledons of stone pine (Pinus pinea L.) showed a novel metabolic pathway of aromatic cytokinins based on modification of purine skeleton.

Diplodia scrobiculata found in the southern hemisphere
Diplodia scrobiculata, a latent pathogen of Pinus spp. and other conifers with a limited distribution in the United States, Mexico and southern Europe, has not been reported previously in the southern hemisphere. This is unlike its close relative Diplodia pinea that is found in most parts of the world where pines are native or have been introduced. During an intensive D. pinea survey conducted ...
متن کاملEcophysiology of seedlings of three Mediterranean pine species in contrasting light regimes.
Seasonal dynamics of net photosynthesis (Anet) in 2-year-old seedlings of Pinus brutia Ten., Pinus pinea L. and Pinus pinaster Ait. were investigated. Seedlings were grown in the field in two light regimes: sun (ambient light) and shade (25% of photosynthetically active radiation (PAR)). Repeated measures analyses over a 12-month period showed that Anet varied significantly among species and fr...
متن کاملInfluence of copper on root growth and morphology of Pinus pinea L. and Pinus pinaster Ait. seedlings.
We assessed the effects of Cu on root growth and morphology of stone pine (Pinus pinea L.) and maritime pine (Pinus pinaster Ait.) seedlings grown in culture solutions supplied with 0.012 (control), 0.1, 1 or 5 micro M CuSO(4). The presence of 5 micro M Cu in the nutrient solution completely inhibited root growth of both species within 3 days. In both species, taproot elongation was reduced in ...
متن کاملEffects of fertilization on the production of an edible forest fruit: stone pine (Pinus pinea L.) nuts in south-west Andalusia
The pine nut from the stone pine (Pinus pinea L.) is the most important edible fruit in mediterranean forests. Despite this fact, there is a lack of knowledge regarding the application of agronomy techniques in stands of this species to increase pine nut production. Our study focuses on the effect of mineral fertilization on cone production and size, which in turn, are closely related to nut yi...
متن کاملSources of Diplodia pinea endophytic infections in Pinus patula and P. radiata seedlings in South Africa
Diplodia pinea, an opportunistic and latent pathogen, can significantly affect Pinus productivity worldwide. Despite being studied in South Africa for almost 100 years, the source of D. pinea inoculum responsible for seedling infection is unknown. The aim of this study was to determine the role of seed in vertical transmission of D. pinea and to investigate sources of inoculum leading to horizo...
