The most widely used gene editing technology-the CRISPR/Cas9 system-employs a bacterial monomeric DNA endonuclease known as clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-associated protein 9 (Cas9) and single-guide RNA (sgRNA) that directs Cas9 to a complementary target DNA. However, introducing mutations into higher polyploid plant species, especially for species without g...

The seasonal phenology of the leaf area index (LAI) is a major determinant of net ecosystem production in deciduous forest ecosystems. This study describes seasonal and inter-annual differences in LAI in a boreal aspen-hazelnut forest in central Saskatchewan, Canada, between 1994 and 2003, and relates the differences in LAI to annual net ecosystem production (FNEP). A robust method is developed...

First Report of Root-Knot Nematode Meloidogyne hapla (Chitwood, 1949) (Nematoda: Meloidogynidae) on Petroselinum crispum (Mill.) Nym. ex A.W. Hill) in Turkey
 ABSTRACT
 Parsley (Petroselinum crispum), a vegetable whose leaves are consumed, is taxonomomically positioned the Apiaceae family. The origin parsley known as Mediterranean Region. In Turkey, it cultivated extensively and Aegea...

Leaf physiology determines the carbon acquisition of the whole plant, but there can be considerable variation in physiology and carbon acquisition within individual leaves. Alocasia macrorrhiza (L.) Schott is an herbaceous species that can develop very large leaves of up to 1 m in length. However, little is known about the hydraulic and photosynthetic design of such giant leaves. Based on previ...

The quality of turnip-rooted parsley (Petroselinum crispum var. tuberosum) as a seasoning ingredient depends on the content and composition essential oil. oil is influenced by many factors, main which are genetic variations environmental conditions. presented work presents for first time comparison such numerous cultivars root in terms both roots leaves. experiment compared oils fifteen two gro...

Treatment of suspension-cultured parsley (Petroselinum crispum) cells with fungal elicitor triggers rapid, transient and sequential phosphorylation of a number of proteins, as shown by electrophoretic analysis on two-dimensional gels. This response is rapidly reversed by removal of the elicitor from the medium and appears to be specific. It is not observed in cells exposed to other environmenta...

Spadefoot toads (Pelobates) and Parsley frogs (Pelodytes) are an enigmatic group of Western Palaearctic anurans. In the genus Pelobates, a fossorial lifestyle has enforced a conserved bauplan that masks their intraspecifi c evolutionary history. We used partial sequences of the mitochondrial 16S and 12S rRNA genes to infer a paleobiogeographic scenario of speciation events in these two anuran g...
