Solanum commersonii and Solanum tuberosum are closely related plant species that differ in their abilities to cold acclimate; whereas S. commersonii increases in freezing tolerance in response to low temperature, S. tuberosum does not. In Arabidopsis thaliana, cold-regulated genes have been shown to contribute to freezing tolerance, including those that comprise the CBF regulon, genes that are ...

Validating and Estimating Yield of Irrigated Potatoes Using Aerial and Satellite Remote Sensing

Solanum lycopersicum and Solanum tuberosum are agriculturally important crop species as they are rich sources of starch, protein, antioxidants, lycopene, beta-carotene, vitamin C, and fiber. The genomes of S. lycopersicum and S. tuberosum are currently available. However the linear strings of nucleotides that together comprise a genome sequence are of limited significance by themselves. Computa...

salt stress negatively impacts crops yield throughout the world. nine varieties of potato (solanum tuberosum l.) were screened for salt stress tolerance by measuring in-vitro growth of the aerial plant parts, as well as roots. salt stress was evaluated by adding 25, 50, 75, 100, 125, 150 and 200 mm of nacl to murashige- skoog (ms) medium and compared to ms medium without nacl. plant length and ...

acid extract of solanum tuberosum was tested as corrosion inhibitor for mild steel in 1 m hcl and h2so4 media using different techniques: weight loss (in different temperatures viz., 303, 313 and 323 k), potentiodynamic polarization, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (eis) and sem techniques. the studies reveal that the plant extract act as good inhibitors in both the acid media and better...

SHMT, EC 2.1.2.1, catalyzes the interconversion of Ser and Gly accompanied by the production or consumption of one-carbon units. In leaves it is a component of the photorespiratory pathway (Keys et al., 1978). The main function of that pathway is the salvage of reduced carbon and nitrogen withdrawn from the Calvin cycle by the oxygenation of ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate. By the cooFeration of SHMT...

The ability of Fusarium oxysporum Schlect. to cause a rot of the potato tuber has been clearly demonstrated by a number of workers. The influence of temperature on this disease has been reported in a number of papers, but the experimental evidence as a whole is rather meager, usually only extreme temperatures being used. The effect of moisture on the progress of the disease, except under condit...
