Expression of mouse metallothionein-I gene confers cadmium resistance in transgenic tobacco plants
Transgenic tobacco plants containing a mouse metallothionein-I (MT-I) gene fused to the cauliflower mosaic virus 35S (CaMV 35S) promoter and nopaline synthase (nos) polyadenylation site were obtained by transf...

Marker-Assisted Genetic Analysis of Winter Hardiness in Barley
A linkage map of barley was developed from 100 doubled haploid lines derived from a winter (Dicktoo) x spring (Morex) barley cross. Based on this map, quantitative trait locus (QTL) analyses were conducted to ...

Application of gibberellic acid to the surface of soybean seed (t Glycine max (L.) Merr.) and symbiotic nodulation, plant development, final grain and protein yield under short season conditions
In short-season soybean production areas, low soil temperature is the major factor limiting soybean establishment, nodulation and nitrogen fixation. Gibberellic acid (GA) pretreatment of crop seeds can overcom...

Genetic analysis of the components of winterhardiness in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.)
Winterhardiness in cereals is the consequence of a number of complex and interacting components: cold tolerance, vernalization requirement and photoperiod sensitivity. An understanding of the genetic basis of ...

Physiological basis of the synergistic effects of IBA and triadimefon on rooting of mung bean hypocotyls
Mixtures of 1–3 × 20.32 mg L-1 IBA and 1–3 × 289.5 µg L-1 triadimefon (TRI) significantly increased the formation of adventitious roots in mung bean hypocotyl cuttings compared to application of either IBA or TRI...

The State Transitions and their Possible Mechanisms of Sporophytes and Gametophytes of Porphyra Yezoensis
Rencent year, two types of phycobilisomes(PBS) have been isolated from Porphyra. yezoensis, one in sporophytes and another in gametophytes, and they were obviously different in phycobiliprotein composition, molec...

Modeled responses of terrestrial ecosystems to elevated atmospheric CO2: a comparison of simulations by the biogeochemistry models of the Vegetation/Ecosystem Modeling and Analysis Project (VEMAP)
Although there is a great deal of information concerning responses to increases in atmospheric CO2 at the tissue and plant levels, there are substantially fewer studies that have investigated ecosystem-level res...
