EcoMeristem, a model of morphogenesis and competition among sinks in rice. 1. Concept, validation and sensitivity analysisFunctional Plant Biology - Tập 33 Số 4 - Trang 309 - 2006
Delphine Luquet, Michaël Dingkuhn, Hae Koo Kim, L. Tambour, Anne Clément‐Vidal
Because of rapid advances in functional genomics there is an increasing demand for models simulating complex traits, such as the physiological and environmental controls of plant morphology. This paper describes, validates and explores the behaviour of the structural–functional model EcoMeristem, developed for cereals in the context of the Generation Challenge Program (GCP; CGIAR).

Effects of contrasting shade treatments on the carbon production and antioxidant activities of soybean plantsFunctional Plant Biology - Tập 47 Số 4 - Trang 342 - 2020

In China, maize-soybean relay-intercropping system follow the two main planting-patterns: (i) traditional relay-intercropping; maize-soybean equal row planting, where soybean experience severe maize shading on both sides of plants, and (ii) modern relay-intercropping; narrow-wide row planting, in this new planting pattern only one side of soybean leaves suffer from maize shading. Therefore...... hiện toàn bộ
Photosynthetic Responses of Pisum sativum to an Increase in Irradiance During Growth. II. Thylakoid Membrane ComponentsFunctional Plant Biology - Tập 14 Số 1 - Trang 9 - 1987
WS Chow, J. M. Anderson
Following the transfer of pea plants grown at low irradiance (60 �mol photons m-2 s-1, 16 h light/8 h dark cycles) to high irradiance (390 �mol photons m-2 s-1), the extents and time courses of the increase in the concentrations of thylakoid membrane components on a chlorophyll basis have been determined. The increase in cytochrome f (~ 70%) and plastoquinone (~ 50%) contents occurred with...... hiện toàn bộ
Pathway of Carbon Transport Within Developing Ovules of Phaseolus vulgaris LFunctional Plant Biology - Tập 7 Số 6 - Trang 671 - 1980
JW Patrick, Roy E. McDonald
14C-labelled photosynthates, on reaching developing ovules of Phaseolus vulgaris plants, were transported rapidly and evenly throughout the highly vascularized seed coats. Apoplastic transfer of 14C-labelled photosynthates from the seed coats to the developing embryos occurred over the entire inner surface of the seed coats. Further lateral transfer of the photosynthate through the cotyled...... hiện toàn bộ
Partial Tryptic Digestion of Cucurbitin from Pumpkin SeedFunctional Plant Biology - Tập 8 Số 6 - Trang 507 - 1981
R.J. Blagrove, Glenn G. Lilley, Alexander A. Kortt
A stable digestion intermediate was observed when cucurbitin, the crystalline storage globulin of
pumpkin [Cucurbita moschata (Duch.) Poir.] seed, was treated with trypsin. The major digestion
product, termed cucurbitin-T, was isolated as a homogeneous protein of M, 285 000+ 10000 by
chromatography over Sepharose CL-6B. The treatment with trypsin lowered the isoelectric point,
decreased th...... hiện toàn bộ
Hydrogen sulfide may function downstream of hydrogen peroxide in salt stress-induced stomatal closure in Vicia fabaFunctional Plant Biology - Tập 46 Số 2 - Trang 136 - 2019
Yinli Ma, Wei Zhang, Jiao Niu, Yu Ren, Fan Zhang
The roles of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in signalling transduction of stomatal closure induced by salt stress were examined by using pharmacological, spectrophotographic and laser scanning confocal microscopic (LSCM) approaches in Vicia faba L. Salt stress resulted in stomatal closure, and this effect was blocked by H2S modulators hypotaurine (HT), aminooxy acetic ...... hiện toàn bộ
Genetic control of lysine metabolism in maize endosperm mutantsFunctional Plant Biology - Tập 31 Số 4 - Trang 339 - 2004

The capacity of three maize endosperm opaque mutants (o10, o11 and o13) to accumulate soluble lysine in the seed in relation to their wildtype counterpart, W22+, was investigated. The W22o13 and W22o11 mutants exhibited 278% and 186% increases in soluble lysine, respectively, while for W22o10, a 36% decrease was observed, compared with the wildtype. A quantitative and qualitative study of ...... hiện toàn bộ
Influence of plant age and growth conditions on nitrate assimilation in roots of Lotus japonicus plantsFunctional Plant Biology - Tập 29 Số 4 - Trang 485 - 2002
Purificación Pajuelo, Eloísa Pajuelo, Alicia Orea, J. Romero, Antonio J. Márquez
In roots of Lotus japonicus (Regel) Larsen cv. Gifu, the
level of NADH-nitrate reductase (NR) activity and protein, as well as
ferredoxin-nitrite reductase activity and nitrate accumulation, were higher in
roots of young plants, and decreased in mature plants grown in seed trays.
When plants were grown in larger pots, the decrease in NR activity and nitrate
accumulation took place at a la...... hiện toàn bộ
Retrotransposon-based molecular markers for assessment of genomic diversityFunctional Plant Biology - Tập 41 Số 8 - Trang 781 - 2014

Retrotransposons (RTs) are major components of most eukaryotic genomes. They are ubiquitous, dispersed throughout the genome, and their abundance correlates with genome size. Their copy-and-paste lifestyle in the genome consists of three molecular steps involving transcription of an RNA copy from the genomic RT, followed by reverse transcription to generate cDNA, and finally, reintegration...... hiện toàn bộ
