Abstract:
... Clonally propagating elite lines of oil palm via multiple shoot organogenesis is promising due to genetic stability of regenerants. In this study, we tested the effects of medium composition using three basal media types (Murashige and Skoog (MS), woody plant medium (WPM), and Y₃) with concentrations of sucrose and different ionic strengths derived from sucrose, sorbitol, or both sucrose and sorbi ...

Abstract:
... A pre-bloom application of gibberellin (GA) on grapevines (Vitis spp.) induces fruit set without fertilization (parthenocarpy) by inhibiting pollen tube growth. In the present study, we analyzed transcriptional changes in the Vitis γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) metabolic genes and the levels of GABA in grapevines with or without GA treatment to understand how GA induces parthenocarpy in grapevines. F ...

Abstract:
... This study investigated the effects of varying calcium nitrate (Ca(NO₃)₂) supply on seed germination, seedling growth, and antioxidant responses during cucumber seed germination. Five and 20 mM Ca(NO₃)₂ stimulated seed germination, while 10 and 40 mM Ca(NO₃)₂ inhibited it. Germinating seed weight was clearly promoted by 5 mM Ca(NO₃)₂, but decreased under 40 mM Ca(NO₃)₂. Ten or 20 mM Ca(NO₃)₂ cause ...

Abstract:
... Studies on the inheritance of day-neutrality, a highly desirable trait in strawberry (Fragaria×ananassa), have not been conclusive because flowering phenotypes were evaluated based on different materials and experimental sites. In the present study, selfed and crossed progenies of Day-neutral (DN) ‘Albion’ and June-bearing (JB) ‘Akihime’ cultivars, namely ‘Albion’ × ‘Albion’, ‘Akihime’ × ‘Akihime’ ...

Abstract:
... Root-knot nematodes (RKNs) (Meloidogyne spp.) are one of the most damaging crop pests and cause severe yield losses worldwide. Easier and more efficient methods are needed for assessing nematode infestations and host plant resistance. In the present study, we combined toluidine blue staining and paraffin sectioning to observe the establishment of giant cells (GCs; redifferentiated cells induced by ...

Abstract:
... In Lilium, a popular horticulture crop, the main objective of crossbreeding is introgression of desirable genes and features into new cultivars. Commercial Lilium cultivars were produced primarily through 2n-gametes or 2x-gametes as parental plants or backcrossing. The primary genetic difference in 2 methods, is the presence of genomic recombination. Especially, GISH (genomic in situ hybridization ...

Abstract:
... Hydrogen gas (H₂) functions as an important signaling molecule in diverse plant developmental processes. H₂ is thought to delay postharvest ripening and senescence in fruit. However, little is known about the influence of H₂ on flower senescence. This study was conducted to determine whether H₂ treatment could improve vase life and quality in cut lily (Lilium spp.) and rose (Rosa hybrid L.) flower ...

Abstract:
... Due to increasing soil salinity, the world agricultural output is being threatened by the shrinking area of fertile land. In the present study, we explored the interactive roles of nitric oxide (NO; 100 μM) and spermidine (SP; 200 μM) in ameliorating the effects of salt stress (NaCl; 100 mM) in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L. var. Five Star) seedlings. NaCl stress reduced shoot and root length, sh ...

Abstract:
... Platycodon grandiflorum A. DC. contains a variety of triterpene saponins induced from the base structure of oleanane-type in roots. The β-amyrin synthase (bAS) plays an important role in controlling the biosynthesis of triterpene saponins and we obtained the full-length cDNA of the gene, which is named PlgOSC1 in P. grandiflorum. To identify the PlgOSC1 products, we expressed it in heterologous ye ...

Abstract:
... Tall spindle planting systems achieve high-quality fruit from plants that flower early and sustain a high yield. While some growers in Korea let apple trees grow up to 4 m or higher in high-density planting systems with M.9 rootstock to produce more fruits, such practices lead to very tall trees with low-quality fruit that develop in the lower canopy. To minimize this effect, we used the ‘Hongro’ ...

Abstract:
... Air pollutants are emitted from various sources into the atmosphere. During winter, greenhouses are heated by the burning of fuel in heating systems, which creates sulfur dioxide (SO₂) that can be detrimental to plant growth and human health. However, there is a poor understanding of the comprehensive effects of SO₂ on crops in a greenhouse environment. Therefore, this review aimed to summarize th ...
