Genetic Control of Storage Root Development Russ. J. Plant Physiol. (IF 1.198) Pub Date : 2020-07-16 K. A. Kuznetsova, I. E. Dodueva, A. A. Pautov, E. G. Krylova, L. A. Lutova
Abstract The formation of plants' storage organs, in particular the storage root, is an example of plants’ specialization in the accumulation of substances. Studying the genetic mechanisms for the development of the storage root is very relevant in connection with the economic importance of root crops. Nevertheless, the genetic control of storage root’s development is currently poorly studied. The

Absorption of Naphthalene by Leaves and Its Interaction with Chlorophyll–Protein Complexes of Pea Plants Russ. J. Plant Physiol. (IF 1.198) Pub Date : 2020-07-16 M. S. Khristin, A. V. Lankin, V. D. Kreslavski
Abstract Mechanisms of photosynthesis inhibition by vaporous naphthalene, its permeation into thylakoids, and interactions with chlorophyll–protein complexes were studied. It was found that vaporous naphthalene is first adsorbed on the pea (Pisum sativum L.) leaf’s surface and then penetrates into the leaf, binds to thylakoids, and inhibits photosynthesis. The adsorbed naphthalene can be washed from

Determination of Physiological Indices and Some Antioxidant Enzymes of Chard Exposed to Nitric Oxide under Drought Stress Russ. J. Plant Physiol. (IF 1.198) Pub Date : 2020-07-16 M. Ekinci, S. Ors, E. Yildirim, M. Turan, U. Sahin, A. Dursun, R. Kul
Abstract This research was carried out to determine effectiveness of nitric oxide (NO) on some physiological and biochemical reactions, and water use efficiency (WUE) of chard (Beta vulgaris L. var. cicla) under well-watered and drought conditions. NO solutions were prepared with four doses (0, 50, 100, 150 and 200 µM) of sodium nitroprusside as a nitric oxide donor and exogenously applied on only

Abstract Mulberry (Morus alba L.) is an economically and ecologically important plant with strong stress resistance. Glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) can catalyze the reversible reaction of α-ketoglutarate and \({\text{NH}}_{4}^{ + }\) to glutamate, and plays an important role in resistance to adverse conditions. In this study, two MaGDH genes were cloned, and their biological characteristics studied
