Expression of senescence-associated genes in the leaves of silver birch (Betula pendula).
Development was monitored throughout the entire life span of silver birch (Betula pendula Roth.) leaves. The focus was on senescence-related changes in photosynthesis and gene expression. The youngest fully developed leaves were compared with older senescing leaves in two silver birch lines: the wild-type line R and a late-senescing line R3.1. Line R3.1 was found among transgenic lines produced...
متن کاملDifferential gene expression in senescing leaves of two silver birch genotypes in response to elevated CO2 and tropospheric ozone.
Long-term effects of elevated CO(2) and O(3) concentrations on gene expression in silver birch (Betula pendula Roth) leaves were studied during the end of the growing season. Two birch genotypes, clones 4 and 80, with different ozone growth responses, were exposed to 2x ambient CO(2) and/or O(3) in open-top chambers (OTCs). Microarray analyses were performed after 2 years of exposure, and the t...
متن کاملIntrapopulation Genotypic Variation of Foliar Secondary Chemistry during Leaf Senescence and Litter Decomposition in Silver Birch (Betula pendula)
Abundant secondary metabolites, such as condensed tannins, and their interpopulation genotypic variation can remain through plant leaf senescence and affect litter decomposition. Whether the intrapopulation genotypic variation of a more diverse assortment of secondary metabolites equally persists through leaf senescence and litter decomposition is not well understood. We analyzed concentrations...
متن کاملGenetic transformation of silver birch (Betula pendula) by particle bombardment.
We used in vitro callus and shoot cultures as target material for genetic transformation of silver birch (Betula pendula Roth) by particle bombardment. Cultivation of in vitro shoot cultures before particle bombardment and a long selection period, combined with a high concentration of selective agent after bombardment, led to the production of transformed plantlets that were stable, and no esca...
متن کاملEffects of aluminium on the growth and mineral composition of Betula pendula Roth.
Aluminium (Al) is rhizotoxic and is often present in acidic soils at activities high enough to inhibit root elongation. The objectives of the present study were to assess the level of Al tolerance in different races of Betula pendula Roth (Silver Birch) and to investigate how growth and nutrient acquisition were affected by Al. A solution culture technique was employed which simulated natural s...
