Extracts of style, petal, leaf, petiole, stem, and callus derived from stems of wild tomato (Lycopersicon peruvianum) contain characteristic sets of arabinogalactan-proteins. This is demonstrated by crossed electrophoresis in which Yariv reagent, which specifically binds to and precipitates arabinogalactan-proteins, is incorporated into the second gel.

Field trials with Spathiphyllum wallisii Regel were conducted at the experimental farm of Faculty of Agriculture, University Azad Jiroft in 2012 growth seasons. The aim of this work is to study the effect of foliar application with benzyladenine (BA) at 0, 100, 200 and 400 mg.L-1 and gibberellic acid (GA3) at 0, 100 and 200 mg.L-1 on the vegetative grow...

HIGHLIGHTS Bauhinia monandra leaf is mesomorphous to xeromorphous. It has glandular navicular and uniseriate nonglandular trichomes. The petiole differential anatomical characteristics within the genus. pulvinus motile cushion have live pectic septate fibres.

background and objectives:  hawthorn is a forest fruit tree which is grown in the temperate regions around the world. this plant is known as the most traditional herbal remedy for heart failure and cardiovascular disease in worldwide. this study has been conducted to investigate the genetic variability and classify hawthorn genotypes based on quantitative and qualitative characteristics of leaf...

present study was conducted to consider the effects of different concentrations of 2,4-d and ba on somatic embryogenesis induction, development and maturation of three strawberry cultivars (kurdistan, parose and camarosa). for this purpose, leaf blade, nodal, petiole, stamen and flower bud calli were cultured on murashige and skoog (ms) medium supplemented with 2, 4 dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (...

Stipules are leaf structures common in many groups of plants that can take a variety of forms. In Gentianales, interpetiolar stipules are considered a synapomorphy of Rubiaceae; however, some reports in the literature refer to their presence in other families. The goal of this study was to analyze the development of leaf primordia to investigate the possible presence of reduced or modified stip...

In 1955 Osborne reported that petiole sections cut from senescent leaves of any one of many species could speed the abscission of excised and debladed bean petioles (5). The sections from senescent leaves speeded abscission if directly attached or if one attached an agar block on which they had stood for 24 hours. She "proposed that leaf abscissions may be controlled not only by endogenous auxi...

Studies of the water relations of potassium deficient sugarbeet plants (Beta vulgaris L.) revealed two factors for stomatal closure. One component of stomatal closure was reversible by floating leaf discs on distilled water to relieve the water deficit in the leaves; the other component was reversible in the light by floating the leaf discs on KCl solution for 1 hour or more. Potassium-activate...

In stoloniferous species, the length of petioles is of pivotal importance because it determines the position of leaf blades within the canopy. From a mechanistic perspective, two developmental processes, cell division and cell elongation, are responsible for the length of a given petiole. This study aimed at quantifying the relative contributions of cell division and cell elongation to genotypi...
