Full textAbstract:
Stripe rust, caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici, has been the most important foliar wheat disease in south central United States since 2000 when a new strain of the pathogen emerged. The resistance gene Yr17 was used by many breeding programs to develop resistant cultivars. Although Yr17 was classified as a seedling (all-stage) resistance gene conferring a low infection type, seedlings with Yr17 frequently had intermediate to high infection types when inoculated with isolates that caused little or no disease on adult plants of the same wheat lines. The objectives of this study were to determine how to best evaluate Yr17 resistance in wheat lines and to determine which factors made seedling tests involving Yr17 so variable. Stripe rust reactions on wheat seedlings with Yr17 were influenced by temperature, wheat genotype, pathogen isolate, and the leaf (first or second) used to assess the seedling reaction. The most critical factors for accurately evaluating Yr17 reactions at the seedling stage were to avoid night temperatures below 12°C, to use the first leaf to assess the seedling reaction, to use multiple differentials with Yr17 and known avirulent, partially virulent and virulent isolates as controls, and to recognize that intermediate infection types likely represent a level of partial virulence in the pathogen that is insufficient to cause disease on adult plants in the field.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Reaction to cane Botrytis was determined for 43 red raspberry cultivars and selections and for seedlings of 25 progenies. Although there were some variations in relative reactions, it was possible to class the cultivars and selections as resistant or susceptible after examinations in at least two years. Segregations in the seedling populations suggested that two gene pairs might be involved in the reaction to the disease with the presence of at least two dominant genes necessary to give a resistant reaction. Postulated genotypes should be of predictive value in the choice of parents.

Full textAbstract:
Resistance to apple scab (Venturia inaequalis) in apple cultivar breeding has been derived mainly from the Vf gene from Malus floribunda 821, which introgresses horticulturally unfavorable characters. M. sieversii, now thought to be the primary progenitor of M. × domestica, grows wild in many diverse habitats in Central Asia and can have fruit quality comparable to commercial cultivars. Since 1989, four major collections of M. sieversii have been made in Central Asia, where scab is endemic. Some seed collections have been made from trees with superior fruit, that were not infected with scab. Over a 6-year period, 3000 seedlings from 220 wild M. sieversii trees representing 10 diverse ecosystems in Kazakstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan have been inoculated with conidia of five races and two wild types of V. inaequalis. Suspensions (270,000 conidia/ml) were applied to 4- to 8-leaved seedlings, which were incubated for 48 h at 19°C with constant leaf wetness. Symptoms for three resistant reactions were assessed 2 to 4 weeks after inoculation: A = chlorosis with crinkling (Vf type reaction); B = stellate necrotic lesions (Vr type reaction), and N = large necrotic areas (uncharacterized resistant reaction). Results indicated that nearly 20% of the seedlings showed one or more of the resistant reactions. The range of resistance within seedling populations from each of the 220 single-tree sources ranged from 0% to 75%. Significant differences existed among seedlings from each of the ecosystems. Most resistance reactions appeared to be similar to those observed for Vr from “Russian seedling.” Resistant selections with superior horticultural traits may constitute a genepool for increased efficiency of breeding scab-resistant cvs. This genepool may also be useful to address the breakdown of resistance to V. inaequalis race 6.

Thirty-four wheat genotypes were tested for resistance characteristics to Puccinia triticina at different growth stages. At seedling stage in a greenhouse, latency period, infection frequency and reaction type were determined. In the field, time of spike appearance, and infection intensity were followed. Weak (r = 0.322) to strong (r = 0.660) correlation was found between resistance characteristics at seedling stage (LPxIFxRT, in the greenhouse) and in adult plants (infection intensity and AUDPC, in the field). The values of AUDPC (area under the disease progress curve) were also strongly related to resistance characteristics of seedlings (r = 0.598). As pseudoresistant in the field (especially equal to adult plant resistance) according to other stresses reactions were considered genotypes which were the most sensitive at seedling stage (20?C) and at adult stage they did not express maximal infection intensity, particullar Evropa 90 and Suvaca. Adult plant resistance as the sum of specific and pseudoresistance was observed on genotypes Tiha, Zlatka and Eva.

Full textAbstract:
The effects of Fusarium seedling blight and root rot, caused by Fusarium culmorum, on plant emergence, harvestable tillers, grain yield and disease reaction in 12 spring barley cultivars were studied in greenhouse and field experiments at Bozeman, Mt. in 1984 and 1985. Atomization of F. culmorum macroconidia onto seed increased disease severity in greenhouse seedlings and mature plants in the field as compared with noninoculated seed. In the inoculated treatments the mean disease rating, based upon the extent of discoloration of the seedling coleoptile or the mature plant subcrown internode, differentiated resistant and susceptible two- and six-rowed cultivars. Among the 12 cultivars, seedling and mature plant disease reactions were not correlated. In 1985 field tests, F. culmorum inoculation reduced the plant emergence of all two-rowed, but only one six-rowed cultivar. Plant emergence in 1985 field tests was negatively correlated with greenhouse seedling and field mature plant disease reactions. To remove the effects of stand reduction by inoculation and determine the subsequent effect of infection on grain yield, the plant stand of a control treatment was hand-thinned to equal that of the inoculated treatment. Generally, F. culmorum inoculation had no effect on harvestable tillers or grain yield when compared with the hand-thinned control. The ease with which seed can be inoculated with the pathogen makes this technique a useful tool in evaluating the ability of a genotype to compensate for stand reduction and to tolerate root rot infection.Key words: Disease tolerance, dryland root rot

Full textAbstract:
One plant genotype displays a resistance phenotype at one development stage but a susceptible reaction to the same pathogen at another stage, which is referred to here as resistance inversion. In wheat, Fusarium head blight (FHB)-resistant cv. Sumai3 showed a Fusarium seedling blight (FSB)-susceptible reaction whereas FHB-susceptible cv. Annong8455 exhibited FSB resistance when challenged with a Fusarium asiaticum strain that produces deoxynivalenol (DON). The resistance to FHB and FSB in wheat was closely associated with expression of a plant cytochrome P450 gene in response to FHB pathogens and mycotoxins. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction analyses showed that expression of nine defense-related genes in spikes and seedlings was induced by the fungal infection, in which a massive accumulation of a plant cytochrome P450 gene, CYP709C1, was clearly associated with the resistance reaction in both seedling and spike. The FHB-resistant Sumai3 accumulated 7-fold more P450 transcripts than did the FHB-susceptible Annong8455, while 84-fold more P450 transcripts were accumulated in the FSB-resistant Annong8455 than the FSB-susceptible Sumai3. A Fusarium strain with a disrupted Tri5 gene, which is not able to produce the first enzyme essential for trichothecene mycotoxin biosynthesis, also induced more P450 transcripts in FHB- and FSB-resistant cultivars. The fungal activation of the P450 gene was more profound in the FSB-resistant reaction than the FHB-resistant reaction relative to their susceptible counterparts. DON triggered a differential expression of the P450 gene with comparable patterns in spikes and seedlings in a resistance-dependent manner. These results may provide a basis for dissecting mechanisms underlying FHB and FSB resistance reactions in wheat and revealing functions of the cytochrome P450 in plant detoxification and defense.

Full textAbstract:
Reaction of some wild oat (Avena fatuaL. ♯4AVEFA) populations to the herbicide triallate [S-(2,3,3-trichloroallyl)diisopropylthiocarbamate] was investigated in a controlled-environment chamber. Under specified conditions, 1.0 mg active ingredient of triallate incorporated in 1 kg of soil was a satisfactory diagnostic rate for 14-day-old seedlings. Five seedling growth parameters were studied. These parameters were emergence, survival to produce first leaf, mesocotyl length, first-leaf length, and seedling height. Of these, mesocotyl length was least affected by triallate treatment, and significant differences in variability for triallate reaction were found within and among historically triallate unexposed, as well as exposed populations. Within-population variation for seedling emergence and survival was higher in unexposed than in exposed populations. Populations with recurrent exposure to triallate were more tolerant to the herbicide under experimental conditions than historically unexposed populations. Triallate-tolerant lines were identified which were tolerant to two other common wild oat herbicides.

Full textAbstract:
Aim of study: We aimed to i) evaluate the effects of mulching on Tuber melanosporum mycelium biomass and seedling growth (i.e. root collar diameter and seedling height) and ii) unravel the relationship between growth in root collar diameter and mycelium abundance, in a T. melanosporum plantation.Area of study: The experimental plantation is located in the Pre-Pyrenees mountains in Catalonia, Spain.Material and methods: The experimental plantation was established in 2010 using one-year-old T. melanosporum inoculated Quercus ilex seedlings. Double-layered mulch materials were placed around the seedlings. The mulch materials were removed from randomly selected seedlings in 2015 and 2018. Soil samples were collected in 2018 at 40 and 80 cm distances from seedlings that had mulching during five and eight years, and T. melanosporum mycelium biomass was estimated by quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (qPCR). Seedling root collar diameter and height were measured simultaneously when mulch materials were removed.Main results: Mulch removal time did not have significant effects on T. melanosporum mycelium biomass or seedling growth. However, mycelium biomass at 40 cm distance tended to be higher on seedlings after eight-year mulching with 0.9 mg/g soil whereas mycelium biomass was 0.4 mg/g soil after five-year mulching. A positive relationship between mycelium biomass and seedling root collar diameter was also found.Research highlights: Mulching seems to have a positive effect on truffle mycelium biomass, with nearly two times higher quantity of mycelium after eight-years compared with five-years mulching usage. Seedling root collar diameter is a good indicator of mycelium expansion in the plantation.Keywords: Black truffle; Quercus ilex; mulching; tree growth; truffle cultivation.

Full textAbstract:
Crown gall incited by Agrobacterium tumifaciens is an important problem for nursery and field production of stone fruit and nut crops. Genotypes reportedly differ for crown gall reaction, but there is little information about resistance of Prunus accessions used as rootstocks. From among four wild-type strains of A. tumifaciens-virulent on apricot and almond, K12 was selected for inoculation of 6-month-old seedlings of cherry, plum, peach, almond, apricot, and miscellaneous species. The large majority of seedlings were very susceptible to crown gall, but some had few or no galls. Cherry, especially some lines of P. mahaleb, showed the most resistant or moderately resistant seedlings, while some accessions of plum, especially P. cerasifera, P. angustifolia, and P. insititia had the most resistant seedlings. Plants with different reactions were propagated to determine adult plant resistance and to study the heritability of crown gall reaction.

Full textAbstract:
Seedlings of Prunus mahaleb are often used as rootstocks for sweet cherry (P. avium) scion cultivars in commercial orchards. While they are desirable based on ease of propagation and economical production of nursery stock, seedlings may be variable resulting in nonuniform compound trees, and they are susceptible to several important diseases. Seedling sources have shown substantial variability for population uniformity of plant growth, and reaction to crown gall, powdery mildew and Phytophthora root rot. Segregating families also vary for pollen fertility, inbreeding response and control of scion growth. Multiple screening for favorable trait combinations is underway to develop improved sources of cherry rootstocks.

Full textAbstract:
Pine weevils cause major damage to newly planted conifer seedlings in reforestation areas. However, recent findings indicate that small (“mini”) seedlings, planted at the age of 7-10 weeks, are gnawed less by pine weevils than the larger, conventionally planted seedlings. Thus, it has been proposed that planting young conifer seedlings in clear-cut areas may reduce the damage caused by pine weevils. In attempts to determine why mini seedlings appear to be less damaged by pine weevils than “conventional” seedlings, the volatiles released by Norway spruce and Scots pine mini seedlings were investigated, since such chemicals are of great importance in herbivore-plant communication, inter alia acting as repellents, attractants or antifeedants. Volatiles from the seedlings were collected, separated and identified by solid phase microextraction (SPME) followed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The results show that there are high levels of chemodiversity among both spruce and pine seedlings. Between-tissue and age-related variations in their emissions were also found. Norway spruce clones infested by mites were also examined to assess genotype- and pest-specific stress reactions of Norway spruce. Finally, the effects of certain spruce defense compounds on the behavior of the large pine weevil Hylobius abietis were examined.<br>QC 20100818

Full textAbstract:
>Magister Scientiae - MSc<br>With a decrease in water availability and arable land, and the ever-increasing reports of toxic chemical pollutants, it is crucial to elucidate plants’ mechanisms of adaptability to these abiotic stressors. South Africa alone accounts for approximately 30% of global Zirconium (Zr) production. However, reports on Zr-induced stress in plants are sparse. Increased mining activity leads to soil contamination which subsequently has harmful effects on crop plants. Under normal conditions B. rapa crop plants flourish, they are rapid in their cycling and circumvent the seed dormancy stage which enables them to have high yields over relatively short periods. However, when unfavourable conditions arise, such as exposure to toxic chemicals and metal ions like Zirconium, the development and growth of B. rapa L., much like other crop plants is affected. More specifically, the damaging effects of Zr is not only attributed directly; as with substitutions of biometals [like Iron (Fe)] in various biomolecules rendering them inactive, but more as a consequence of the production of toxic molecules such as reactive oxygen species (ROS) and methylglyoxal (MG). ROS such as superoxide anion (O₂⁻) and hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂ ) are known to have signalling roles in plants with reports on their involvement in alleviating seed dormancy and seedling development. However, the signalling roles of MG are not known with regards to plant cells and have been reported more so in animal cells; playing vital roles in fat signalling in diseases such as diabetes. Furthermore MG, in plant and animal cells, directly converts oxygen (O₂) to O₂⁻ and thus increases the cell’s oxidative imbalance, leading to cell damage if O₂⁻ is not rapidly dismutated to H₂O₂ and H₂O by superoxide dismutase (SOD). In turn, H₂O₂ is more stable than O₂⁻ and consequently is more toxic to cells over time. Therefore, H O must be removed as well by a collection of enzymes, such as ascorbate peroxidase (APX) and catalases (CAT). In this study, possible stress-signalling of MG in seedlings under normal conditions and Zr-stress were investigated to establish whether MG at a low dose (6 μM) would benefit seedling growth and development, via a proposed preinduction of the B. rapa L. antioxidant system. Therefore, it was proposed that ROS accumulation due to the exogenous application of MG, would incite the activation of antioxidants and thus mitigate the effects of Zr stress. Physiological tests to determine dry weights (figure 3.2.3) and germination percentage (figure 3.2.2) revealed that MG-treated seedlings yielded an improved biomass and early development compared to Zr-treated seedlings and the control. Membrane damage as assessed by lipid peroxidation viz. Malondialdehyde [MDA] (figure 3.2.4) and conjugated dienes [CD] (figure 3.2.5) also indicated less damage in MG-treated seedlings compared to the Zr-treated set. The chlorophyll content observed was prominent (table 3.1). MG-treated seedlings exhibited a 40% and 15.5% increase compared to Zr-treated seedlings and the control respectively. Moreover cell viability had improved in MG-treated seedlings compared to the control, and in MG+Zr-treated seedlings only a slight increase in cell death occurred despite Zr being present. O₂⁻, H₂O₂ and •OH (figure 4.2.1 – 4.2.3) were investigated in B. rapa L. seedlings in response to Zr and MG by spectrophotometric biochemical assays, as well as their scavenging enzymes, MG accumulation and Gly-I activity. Furthermore, BrGLY1 gene expression and Zr-uptake by ICP-OES were performed. Seedlings treated with MG and Zr respectively showed an increase in ROS. However, all of the ROS observed in MG+Zr-treated seedlings were markedly lower compared to Zr-treated seedlings. SOD and CAT activity observed in MG+Zr-treated seedlings had decreased compared to Zr-treated seedlings, whereas APX activity had increased. Gly-I activity and BrGlyI gene expression had increased across all treatments, showing an elicited response to oxidative stress, due to the observed upregulation, as a result of the accumulated MG. The observed Zr-uptake in MG+Zr-treated seedlings was inhibited by 5-fold compared to Zr-treated seedlings. Clear signs of stress were evident in seedlings treated with Zr compared to the control and MG- treated seedlings, the MG-supplemented (MG and MG+Zr) seedlings displayed a vast improvement comparatively. Modulation of antioxidant activity observed in this study is indicative of an incited response to oxidative stress (figure 4.2.4 – 4.2.6). MG revealed distinct involvement in stress-signalling, ROS levels had increased, although not as severely as with Zr-treated seedlings, but seemingly enough to activate antioxidants without eliciting damage. Furthermore, the proposed early-onset activation of antioxidants has been observed in B. rapa L. seedlings of this study, and as such has resulted in improved growth, development and seed germination. The results of this study has therefore negated the previous reports on MG-toxicity (at high concentrations), and has shed light on further properties of this ubiquitous and inevitably-occurring metabolite at low levels.<br>National Research Foundation (NRF)

Full textAbstract:
Philosophiae Doctor - PhD<br>The role of phenolic acids in mitigating salt stress tolerance have been well documented. However, there are contradicting reports on the effect of exogenously applied phenolic acids on the growth and development of various plants species. A general trend was observed where phenolic acids were shown to inhibit plant growth and development, with the exception of a few documented cases. One of these such cases is presented in this thesis. This study investigates the role of exogenously applied p-coumaric acid (p-CA) on physio-biochemical and molecular responses of chia seedlings under salt stress. This study is divided into three parts. Part one (Chapter 3) focuses on the impact of exogenous p-coumaric acid on the growth and development of chia seedlings. In this section, chia seedlings were supplemented with exogenous p-CA and the various biochemical and plant growth parameters were measured. The results showed that exogenous p-CA enhanced the growth of chia seedlings. An increase in chlorophyll, proline and superoxide oxide contents were also observed in the p-CA treatment relative to the control. We suggested that the increase in chia seedling growth could possibly be via the activation of reactive oxygen species-signalling pathway involving O2− under the control of proline accumulation (Chapter 3). Given the allopathy, nature of p-coumaric acid it is noteworthy that the response observed in this study may be species dependent, as contrasting responses have been reported in other plant species. Part two (Chapter 4) of this study investigates the influence of piperonylic acid (an inhibitor of endogenous p-coumaric acid) on the growth and development of chia seedlings.
In trying to illustrate whether p-CA does play a regulatory role in enhancing pseudocereal plant growth, we treated chia seedlings with the irreversible inhibitor of C4H enzyme, to inhibit the biosynthesis of endogenous p-CA. In this section, chia seedlings were treated with piperonylic acid and changes in plant growth, ROS-induced oxidative damage, p-CA content and antioxidant capacity was monitored. Inhibition of endogenous p-CA restricted chia seedling growth by enhancing ROS-induced oxidative damage as seen for increased levels of superoxide, hydrogen peroxide and the extent of lipid peroxidation. Although an increase in antioxidant activity was observed in response to piperonylic acid, this increase was not sufficient to scavenge the ROS molecules to prevent oxidative damage and ultimate cellular death manifested as reduced plant growth. The results presented in this section support our hypothesis that p-CA play an important regulatory role in enhancing chia seedling growth and development as shown in Chapter 3. Part three (Chapter 5) seeks to identify and functionally characterise p-coumaric acid induced putative protein biomarkers under salt stress conditions in chia seedlings.
Previous studies have shown that p-CA reversing the negative effect caused by NaCl-induced salt stress. While these studies were able to demonstrate the involvement of p-CA in promoting plant growth under salt stress conditions, they focussed primarily on the physiological aspect, which lacks in-depth biochemical and molecular analysis (ionomic and proteomic data) which could help in detecting the genes/proteins involved in salt stress tolerance mechanisms. A comparative ionomics and proteomic study was conducted, with the aim of elucidating the pivotal roles of essential macro elements and/or key protein markers involved in p-CA induced salt stress tolerance in chia seedlings. With the exception of Na, all the other macro elements were decreased in the salt treatment. Contrary to what was observed for the salt treatment most of the macro elements were increased in the p-CA treatment. However, the addition of exogenous p-CA to salt stressed seedlings showed an increase in essential macro elements such as Mg and Ca which have been shown to play a key role in plant growth and development. In the proteomic analysis we identified 907 proteins associated with shoots across all treatments. Interestingly, only eight proteins were conserved amongst all treatments. A total of 79 proteins were unique to the p-CA, 26 to the combination treatment (NaCl + p-CA) and only two proteins were unique to the salt stress treatment. The unique proteins identified in each of the treatments were functionally characterised to various subcellular compartments and biological processes. Most of the positively identified proteins were localised to the chloroplast and plays key roles in photosynthesis, transportation, stress responses and signal transduction pathways. Moreover, the protein biomarkers identified in this study (especially in the p-CA treatment) are putative candidates for genetic improvement of salt stress tolerance in plants.

碩士<br>國立中興大學<br>森林學系<br>87<br>The objectives of this study were to investigate the effects of elevated carbon dioxide concentration and temperature on the growth and chlorophyll fluorescence reactions in Cinnamomum camphora Seedlings. Seedling grown in 1.25 m3 open-top chamber, were treated with two different carbon dioxide concentration（385±3 ppm, ambient, 696±17 ppm）and two day/night temperature（28℃∕23℃, ambient, 32℃∕23℃）for eleven weeks.
The growth performances of all treatments were enhanced by higher temperature treatment. In carbon dioxide concentration elevated condition, growth was enhanced under early few weeks, however, slight increase under later treatment weeks. The numbers of leaf, total leaf area, and dry matter of seedling were increased, and specific leaf area and leaf area ratio were decreased when seedlings were exposured in elevated carbon dioxide concentration and higher temperature condition. And there is no significant difference between ambient or higher temperature under ambient carbon dioxide concentration condition.
In chlorophyll fluorescence reactions, in earlier treatment, the primary efficiency of light conversion of PSII（Fv/Fm） and potential activity of PSII（Fv/F0）were enhanced in each treatment. However, under elevated carbon dioxide concentration, the primary efficiency of light conversion of PSII, potential activity of PSII, photochemical quenching coefficient（qP）and quantum yield（Yield）were decrease, and non-photochemical quenching coefficient was increase. These mean that light reaction of photosynthesis was affected by elevated carbon dioxide concentration. These chlorophyll fluorescence reaction parameters of seedlings that were exposured in enhanced carbon dioxide concentration and higher temperature treatment showed no significance difference between ambient or higher temperature under ambient carbon dioxide concentration condition.
Photosynthetic rate was slight decrease under higher temperature condition. But when seedlings were exposured in elevated carbon dioxide concentration treatment, photosynthesis rate was decreased significantly. The interaction efficiency between carbon dioxide concentration and temperature was no difference significantly.

Abstract Necrotic hypersensitive reaction in rice as a mechanism of host plant resistance to the rice gall midge, Orseolia oryzae, is a new phenomenon. This reaction in the highly resistant seedlings starts as a slight yellowing of the tissues of the shoot apex following the arrival of the midge laiva. This leads to the browning and final death of the apical meristem and of the midge laiva feeding on it.

Salt stress is one of the harmful abiotic stress factors. It makes agricultural lands especially in arid and semi-arid regions useless despite the efforts. More than six percent of total world agricultural lands are on the edge of vanishing due to salt stress. Salinity in soil occurs as a result of the factors such as lack of drainage, improper irrigation, excessive accumulation of soluble salts. Salinity limits the growth of plants. Despite the main results, some results of plants due to these limitations vary from species to species. The negative effects get morphological, biochemical and physiological reactions from plants. Slowed or stopped growth of roots and shoots, closuring of stomata, germination slowing, decreased or stopped development of seedling, deterioration of photosynthetic activity are the main reactions of plants to stress. On the other hand, plants also develop tolerance mechanisms as a result of some auxiliaries for surviving under adverse conditions. Plants have tendency to protect themselves from salinity with osmotic protectants synthesized by them such as sugars, proline, amino acids, glycine betaine. In this review, the responses of plants to salt stress were investigated and gathered.

Full textAbstract:
The reclamation of new areas or distant lands, which have limited energy and material resources, requires the use of energy saving technologies, which include presowing processing of seeds in magnetic field. The aim of this chapter is to reveal the effect that magnetic field has on seeds and to detect the most effective condition to process seeds in magnetic field before sowing and constructive parameters of the equipment. Magnetic field accelerates chemical reactions, which occur in plant cells, salts and fertilizers dissolve better, and the permeability of cell membranes increases, which accelerates the diffusion of molecules and ions. Due to this, the concentration of ions and oxygen molecules in a cell increases and seeds absorb water better. Presowing processing of seeds stimulate 25–40% seedling emergence and 30–35% germination. The most effective condition of presowing processing of seeds in magnetic field is 0.065 Тl magnetic induction with four times magnetic reversal and 0.4 m/s seed velocity. As a result, agricultural crop yield increases approximately by 20–25%.

Full textAbstract:
Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is one of the major crops of the world. Significant improvements can be achieved in terms of yield and quality by the determination of efficient transformation methods. On the other hand, low transformation frequency seriously limits the application of molecular techniques in obtaining transgenic crops. In the present study, the effect of gamma radiation on Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation to the potato was firstly investigated. Sterile seedlings of potato cv. ‘Marabel’, which was grown on Gamborg’s B5 medium in Magenta vessels, were irradiated with different gamma radiation doses (0-control, 40, 80, 120 Gy 60Co). Stem parts having axillary meristems were excised from irradiated seedlings and inoculated by A. tumefaciens (GV2260), which harbors the binary plasmid p35S GUS-INT contains and GUS (β-glucuronidase) gene controlled by 35S promoter (CaMV) and nptII (neomycin phosphotransferase II) gene driven by NOS (nopaline synthase) promoter). Inoculated stem parts having axillary meristems explants were then directly transported to a selection medium containing duocid (500 mg l−1), and kanamycin (100 mg l−1), 4 mg l−1 gibberellic acid, 1 mg l−1 BAP and 0.1 mg l−1 NAA. The adult transgenic plants were detected by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis. According to the number of transgenic plants determined by PCR analysis, results obtained from explants treated with 40 Gy gamma gave the best results compared to the control (0 Gy) application. The doses over 40 Gy were also found statistically significant compared to the control (0 Gy). It is expected that the protocol described in this study make the transformation studies easier by skipping the stages of ‘co-cultivation’, ‘culturing explants on selection medium’ and ‘recovery of transgenic shoots on selection medium’ not only for potato but also for other crop plants. This study was supported by a grant from the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TUBİTAK) (Grant number 113O280 to Prof. Dr. Mustafa YILDIZ).

Full textAbstract:
Soybean is one of the major oil crops with multiple uses which is gaining popularity worldwide. Apart from the edible oil, this crop provides various food materials for humans as well as feeds and fodder for animals. Although soybean is suitable for a wide range of soils and climates, it is sensitive to different abiotic stress such as salinity, drought, metal/metalloid toxicity, and extreme temperatures. Among them, soil salinity is one of the major threats to soybean production and the higher yield of soybean is often limited by salt stress. Salt stress negatively affects soybean seedling establishment, growth, physiology, metabolism, and the ultimate yield and quality of crops. At cellular level, salt stress results in the excess generation of reactive oxygen species and creates oxidative stress. However, these responses are greatly varied among the genotypes. Therefore, finding the precise plant responses and appropriate adaptive features is very important to develop salt tolerant soybean varieties. In this connection, researchers have reported many physiological, molecular, and agronomic approaches in enhancing salt tolerance in soybean. However, these endeavors are still in the primary stage and need to be fine-tuned. In this chapter, we summarized the recent reports on the soybean responses to salt stress and the different mechanisms to confer stress tolerance.

Full textAbstract:
Fertilizers for soil on which plants grow come in a variety of forms, such as organic, inorganic, single nutrient, double nutrient, complete fertilizer (contains N, P, and K in that order), speciality fertilizers, composts, and manures. Information about each of these forms follows. Most of the N used in fertilizers is derived from a synthetic process developed by Europeans called the “Claude-Haber process.” This process uses nitrogen gas (N2) from the atmosphere along with hydrogen gas (H2) from natural gas in a device where pressure can be increased and temperature can be raised. The reaction is accelerated using an iron catalyst and removing the product (NH3) as it is formed. The Fe catalyst is subject to poisoning from impurities, such as As, Co, P, or S. Anhydrous ammonia has the highest percentage of N and the cheapest per unit of N since no processing is involved. Anhydrous (without water) ammonia is a gas but when compressed changes to a liquid. For application to soils a pressurized tank is required with a device to inject the liquid ammonia into the soil. Upon release of pressure, the liquid changes back to a gas; however, the ammonia gas reacts with the moisture in the soil to form NH4+ that is available for plants. One problem with ammonia is that NH3 gas is toxic to seedlings and growing plants, so must be applied prior to planting. This limits its use for landscape projects. Salt solutions of aqua ammonia are obtained by dissolving ammonia gas, ammonium nitrate, or urea in water. The amount dissolved will vary the concentration of N in the final product. This can be used in landscape projects, but care must be used as this material can salt out and plug up orifices when sprayed onto a soil. There is no real difference between liquid or solid fertilizers, provided the percentage of N is the same. Ammonia Nitrate [NH4NO3] (33.5% N) Ammonium nitrate is formed by ammonia gas reacting with nitric acid: . . . NH3 + HNO3 → NH4NO3 . . . This material is hygroscopic (absorbs water from the air) and requires moisture-proof bags for storage.

A total of eighteen crop types were tested for their reaction against Rhizoctonia solani under artificially inoculated conditions. Pathogenicity test revealed that various crop seedlings showed different percentages of damping off and root rot diseases. Results indicated highest incidence of damping off disease in fenugreek and lowest in chilly seedlings. The incidence of root disease was maximum in lentil and minimum in green gram, while fenugreek showed nil as it got almost completely damaged by damping off disease.

Full textAbstract:
The study aims to investigate the tomato plants response to heat stress applied at the germination and seedling stages, evaluating certain phenotypic parameters in order to highlight possible particularities associated with adaptability to unfavorable environmental conditions. The research included three tomato genotypes with determined stress reactions that were designed into four variants: optimal-optimal, optimal-stress, stress-optimal, and stress-stress. The application of high temperatures at the germination stage significantly affects the subsequent development of tomato plants, resulting in a decrease in the average values of morphological traits compared to optimal conditions variants. The effects of heat stress vary depending on the genotype and the analyzed trait, with certain variants exhibiting specific vulnerabilities. Variance analysis shows that the temperature conditions and the stress application scheme significantly contribute to the variability of morphological traits, with stress at the germination stage having a dominant impact on architectural traits of plants, while genotype becomes the major influencing factor at the seedling stage. The results emphasize the importance of plant adaptability to thermal stress at different developmental stages.

Full textAbstract:
Stripe rust, caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici is one of the most destructive fungal diseases of wheat. Virulent races that appeared within the last decade caused drastic cuts in yields. The incorporation of genetic resistance against this pathogen is the most cost-effective and environmentally friendly solution to this problem. However, race specific seedling resistance genes provide only a temporary solution because fungal populations rapidly evolve to overcome this type of resistance. In contrast, high temperature adult plant (HTAP) resistance genes provide a broad spectrum resistance that is partial and more durable. The cloning of the first wheat HTAP stripe rust resistance gene Yr36 (Science 2009, 323:1357), funded by our previous (2007-2010) BARD grant, provided us for the first time with an entry point for understanding the mechanism of broad spectrum resistance. Two paralogous copies of this gene are tightly linked at the Yr36 locus (WKS1 and WKS2). The main objectives of the current study were to characterize the Yr36 (WKS) resistance mechanism and to identify and characterize alternative WKSgenes in wheat and wild relatives. We report here that the protein coded by Yr36, designated WKS1, that has a novel architecture with a functional kinase and a lipid binding START domain, is localized to chloroplast. Our results suggest that the presence of the START domain may affect the kinase activity. We have found that the WKS1 was over-expressed on leaf necrosis in wheat transgenic plants. When the isolated WKS1.1 splice variant transcript was transformed into susceptible wheat it conferred resistance to stripe rust, but the truncated variant WKS1.2 did not confer resistance. WKS1.1 and WKS1.2 showed different lipid binding profiling. WKS1.1 enters the chloroplast membrane, while WKS1.2 is only attached outside of the chloroplast membrane. The ascorbate peroxidase (APX) activity of the recombinant protein of TmtAPXwas found to be reduced by WKS1.1 protein in vitro. The WKS1.1 mature protein in the chloroplast is able to phosphorylate TmtAPXprotein in vivo. WKS1.1 induced cell death by suppressing APX activity and reducing the ability of the cell to detoxify reactive oxygen. The decrease of APX activity reduces the ability of the plant to detoxify the reactive H2O2 and is the possible mechanism underlying the accelerated cell death observed in the transgenic plants overexpressing WKS1.1 and in the regions surrounding a stripe rust infection in the wheat plants carrying the natural WKS1.1 gene. WKS2 is a nonfunctional paralog of WKS1 in wild emmer wheat, probably due to a retrotransposon insertion close to the alternative splicing site. In some other wild relatives of wheat, such as Aegilops comosa, there is only one copy of this gene, highly similar to WKS2, which is lucking the retrotransposon insertion. WKS2 gene present in wheat and WKS2-Ae from A. showed a different pattern of alternative splice variants, regardless of the presence of the retrotransposon insertion. Susceptible Bobwhite transformed with WKS2-Ae (without retrotansposon insertion in intron10), which derived from Aegilops comosaconferred resistance to stripe rust in wheat. The expression of WKS2-Ae in transgenic plants is up-regulated by temperature and pathogen infection. Combination of WKS1 and WKS2-Ae shows improved stripe rust resistance in WKS1×WKS2-Ae F1 hybrid plants. The obtained results show that WKS1 protein is accelerating programmed cell death observed in the regions surrounding a stripe rust infection in the wheat plants carrying the natural or transgenic WKS1 gene. Furthermore, characterization of the epistatic interactions of Yr36 and Yr18 demonstrated that these two genes have additive effects and can therefore be combined to increase partial resistance to this devastating pathogen of wheat. These achievements may have a broad impact on wheat breeding efforts attempting to protect wheat yields against one of the most devastating wheat pathogen.
