(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1995)A plant cell culture system was developed to study biochemical responses of Pinus elliottii Engelm. (slash pine) cells to Ceratocystis minor (Hedgc.) Hunt, a fungal parasite of southern pines. Early experiments showed ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1995)Water deficit stress is one of the most important factors affecting survival and growth of trees in forest stands. To survive the stress condition, plants are known to make some adjustments at the cellular level. These ...

(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1991)Washed rubber particles from stem homogenates of Parthenium argentatum contain a bound rubber transferase which catalyzes the de novo synthesis of a rubber polymer. The bound rubber transferase utilizes the photolabile ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1980)Electron micrographs of endosperm tissue from germinating seedlings of Ricinus communis L. cv Hale show the presence of proplastids which contain prominent starch grains. The content of starch in the tissue was found to ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1995)A new plant growth regulator PGR-IV is made of a fermentation broth of soil bacteria, yeast, and fungi that contains gibberellic acid and indolebutyric acid in a nutrient solution blend. This growth regulator has been ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1977)An early and late maturing sorghum genotype, 60M and 90M respectively, were analyzed to determine the endogenous levels of IAA, ABA, and gibberelllns. Previous experiments had Indicated that the gibberellin, GA3, hastens ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1969)The effect of low temperature at two relative humidities on the development of okra plants and changes in total and soluble nitrogen, free amino acids and proteins were studied. The levels of RNA and the rates of RNA and ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1987)Two ecotypes of S. halepense (ALA,NM) were used to compare NaCl resistance with cultivar, BTX-HEG, of S. bicolor. The objectives were: (1) to compare NaCl resistance between the two Sorghum species with whole plants and ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1978)Small Seed Syndrome (SSS) is a problem that plagues the sorghum breeder, producer, transporter, and processor. Small seed cause a reduction in yield, prices and feed efficiency due to decreases in weight, density, protein ...
-
Effect of tobacco mosaic virus infection on glucose metabolism in Nicotiana tabacum L. var. Samsun (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1967)Five experimental approaches were utilized to support or negate the hypothesis that infection of the systemic host of TMV, N. tabacum var. Samsun, induces an increase in the hexose monophosphate (HMP) shunt pathway of ...
-
Effects of abscisic acid on growth and metabolism of protein and ribonucleic acid in Lemna minor L (Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1972)The objective of this work was to arrive at a better understanding of the processes that cause abscisic acid (ABA; a natural growth inhibitor) to inhibit the growth of individual plants of Lemna minor L. Growth rates as ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 1996)Exposure of plants to environmental insults results in the induction of distinct sets of proteins unique to that stress such as anaerobic stress proteins (ASPS) or heat shock proteins (HSPs). For example, during anaerobic ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1973)Cotton plants (Gossypium hirsutum L. cultivar Deltapine 16) were grown at various Ca concentrations (50, 100, 200, and 5,000 uM Ca/1) under different light intensities (6,000; 22,000, and 32,000 lux) to study the influence ...

-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1992)Ten sorghum breeding and parental lines, equally divided between lodging resistant (LR) and lodging susceptible (LS) lines, were studied for differences in morphological, chemical, and anatomical features of the stem related ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1965)The influence of substrate manganese on the growth and development, distribution and tissue content of different plant constituents, and the IAA oxidase system of cotton (Gossypium hirstum L. variety Deltapine 15) was ...
