    Carotenoid accumulation in the psychrotrophic bacterium Arthrobacter agilis in response to thermal and salt stress

    A psychrotrophic strain of Arthrobacter agilis, isolated from Antarctic sea ice, grows from 5°C to 40°C and in culture media containing 0–10% (w/v) NaCl. Maximum growth rate occurred at 30–35°C with a drastic de...

    The Association of Bone Mineral Density with Vitamin D Receptor Gene Polymorphisms

    A recent meta-analysis of 16 publications suggested that bone mineral density (BMD) is not associated with vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene polymorphism (VDRGP) at the 0.05 significance level when a study with g...

    Factors affecting seedling vigor in potatoes: II. Genotype, dormancy, and pre-sowing treatments

    Twelve true potato seed (TPS) crosses were tested for seedling vigor after 3 and 6 months of storage. Bulk seed was sown in the 3-month test, and high- and medium-density seed was sown in the 6-month test. Tre...

    Factors affecting seedling vigor in potatoes: I. Stage of seed development

    True potato seed of Atzimba × R128.6 (cross A) and Serrana x R128.6 (cross B) were tested to measure the effects of increasing berry development on seedling vigor. The seed were harvested at 6, 8, 10, and 12 w...

    Pollen Selection for Stress Tolerance or the Advantage of Selecting Before Pollination

    A series of studies has indicated that 60 75% of the structural genes which are expressed in the sporophyte of both angiosperms and gymnosperms are expressed, and thus subject to selection, also in the pollen ...

    The Relationship Between Potato Pollen and True Seed: Effects of High Temperature and Pollen Size

    In the last ten years, scientists at the International Potato Center (CIP) have been investigating the potential of true potato seed (TPS) as an alternative to traditional potato production from tuber seed in ...

    Effect of supplemental nitrogen on true potato seed weight

    The effect on true potato seed (TPS) weight of supplemental nitrogen (N) applied during seed development was investigated using crosses DTO-33 × R128.6 (“A” produced in the field) and Atzimba × R128.6 (“B” pro...

    Pollen Selection Through Storage: A Tool for Improving True Potato Seed Quality?

    Selection pressure applied to pollen may considerably alter the gene frequency in the following generation of the species in question. The principles of the Hardy-Weinberg Law do not hold true if there is sele...
