Plant reactions to stress vary with development stage and fitness. This study assessed the relationship between light chilling in Arabidopsis acclimation. By analysing transcriptome proteome responses of expanding leaves subjected varying intensity cold, 2251 2064 early response genes proteins were identified, respectively. Many these represent as a yet unknown part illustrating development-dependent duality plant adaptations. While standard promoted photosynthetic upregulation, plastid...
French marigold is an aromatic plant rich in polyphenolic secondary metabolites, which pesticidal potential was examined this study. Ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) connected with OrbiTrap mass spectrometer (MS) identified 113 phenolics and revealed the most detailed phytochemistry of published so far. Depending on material (flowers or leaves) solvents used for extraction (water, methanol, dichloromethane), phenolic composition varied. Methanol extract flowers, 89 high...
An efficient in vitro shoot regeneration method from leaf explants of apple cultivars Golden Delicious and Melrose by optimization medium, explant type orientation, dark pre-treatment, gelling agent is presented. Murashige Skoog’s medium containing 22 μM thidiazuron (TDZ) 1.5 indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) (M2 medium) was superior for as well subsequent multiplication both cultivars, providing frequency 95% or higher the best combination with other factors. Pre-incubation proved to be an...
The pollen morphology of aromatic Tanacetum vulgare L. (Asteraceae), which has wide horticultural and medicinal uses, was examined using light microscopy scanning electron microscopy. investigation revealed that grains are radially symmetrical, isopolar, spheroidal, tricolporate, echinate–perforate. Average length 21.32 ± 1.12 μm, whereas average width 20.04 0.98 μm (length:width ratio 0.94). Spine 2.72 0.29 μm. distance from the spines 7.15 0.31 Pollen exine consisted 1–3 pores. Pori...
A plant’s main mechanism to diminish the effects caused by high free radical levels generated during irradiance is synthesis of various secondary metabolites. In addition interspecies differences, their concentrations may be influenced genetic, ontogenic, morphogenetic or environmental factors. We investigated influence genetic (genotypes from different natural habitats) and (contrasting light regimes as well successive parts vegetation period) variability on accumulation 10 selected...
Flower strips of French Marigold are commonly used pest repellents in potato fields. However, the effect volatiles on metabolism, physiology and induced defense is unknown. Thus, a microarray transcriptome analysis was performed to study effects essential oil (EO) laboratory-grown potato. After 8 h exposure EO, with gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS)-detected terpinolene limonene as dominant compounds, 2796 transcripts were differentially expressed fold change >2 compared...

To elucidate the involvement of glutathione in mitigation induced oxidative changes and sequestration perceived volatiles cells, we exposed potato plants to French marigold essential oil. The formation short-lived radicals, determination scavenging activity towards ascorbyl DPPH assessment plants’ overall intra/extracellular reduction status were performed using electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy (EPR). results showed presence hydroxyl radicals potatoes, with significantly reduced...
The elucidation of molecular mechanisms underlying the leaf development can be facilitated by detailed anatomical study mutants. We present an analysis anatomy and morphogenesis during early developmental stages in has mutant Arabidopsis thaliana. recessive mutation affects a number aspects plant development, including shape size both cotyledons leaves. earliest observations suggest almost synchronous growth first two primordia mutant. No significant disruption cell division pattern internal...
