“…With increasing in these compounds, also PAL activity was enhanced after elicitation. In other studies the PAL activity and plant phenolic compounds have been affected by many factors such as biotic stresses (Bidlack & Buxton 1995). Culture filtrate of F. graminearum could increase the amount of lignin content.…”

Cell suspension cultures of Linum album Kotschy ex Boiss. have been reported to produce anticancer podophyllotoxin and its related lignans. In the present study, we investigated the effect of culture filtrate of Fusarium graminearumon growth, and lignan and phenolic compounds in L. album cell culture. After 7 days of pre-culture, the cells were treated with 1% (v/v) of the culture filtrate. Cell growth was reduced, while phodophyllotoxin and lariciresinol production was stimulated reaching a maximum 0.0187 mg/g fresh weight (FW) and 0.0136 mg/g FW 5 days after the treatment, respectively. Also, our results provide evidence that the culture filtrate of F. graminearum can be effective on phenylalanine ammonia-lyase activity and phenolic compounds.

“…Alfalfa forage yield is influenced by exogenous application of GA (Cole et al, 1972; Bidlack and Buxton, 1995). Such responses may reflect the direct impact of GA on plant growth and development (Hedden and Thomas, 2012; Davière and Achard, 2013).…”

Identification of Consensus Regions Associated with Shoot Biomass Production in the Medicago Genome

et al. 2018

Identification of common genome regions influencing biomass production in multiple Medicago populations can establish focal points for implementing future marker‐assisted breeding approaches to improve alfalfa (M. sativa L.) forage yield and facilitate identification of candidate genes. The goal of this study was to identify consensus regions associated with biomass production and candidate genes within the context of the M. truncatula Gaertn. genome, based on previous reports of 83 biomass‐affiliated markers and 30 quantitative trait loci (QTL) detected among one M. truncatula and four M. sativa biparental and association mapping populations. The genome positions for 68 markers and all 30 biomass QTL were determined. Ten consensus regions associated with Medicago forage yield in two or more populations were identified. The level of resolution for these regions, however, was not sufficient to clearly identify potential causal candidate genes. Consequently, a targeted set of 208 loci influencing Arabidopsis growth and development were surveyed for their positions in the Medicago genome to identify those which colocalized with biomass markers and QTL intervals. Among 233 homologous genes identified, 51 were located within consensus biomass regions. Potential genes affecting Medicago forage yield variation included those affiliated with phytohormone biosynthesis, transport, and signaling; light responsive developmental phase transitions; and microRNA‐mediated regulation of gene expression. These outcomes provide insight into genetic factors that researchers may wish to target for future validation experiments, and for designing marker‐assisted breeding strategies to improve alfalfa productivity.

“…When conditions for seed germination are beyond the tolerance limits for the species, ungerminated seeds of halophytes often Treatments are coded as in Table 1. UT untreated remain quiescent in the soil and thus serve as a temporary or persistent seed bank (Baskin and Baskin 1998;Ungar 2001) Caryopses of B. inermis germinate primarily from May to July (Yang et al 2005). In early April, the bare soil surface and rising temperatures increase evaporation, and thus soil salinity in the microhabitats of B. inermis increases rapidly, even to near 2% (0.34 M).…”

“…Initial caryopsis germination (%) was recorded as (B/C)×100 and final caryopsis germination as (A/C) × 100. When the experiment was terminated, the still-ungerminated caryopses were tested for viability using 1% triphenyl tetrazolium chloride (TTC) solution (Baskin and Baskin 1998). Caryopsis enforced dormancy (%) is recorded as (D/C)×100, where D is the number of caryopses that did not germinate in salinity or recovery treatments but stained red during TTC Caryopses of B. inermis were germinated on filter paper moistened with deionized water in Petri dishes.…”

“…To become established in a saline environment, plants in the population must be adapted at both the germination and mature stages of the life cycle (Ungar 2001). Rainfall dilutes soil surface salinity, and then seeds germinate and seedlings emerge (Baskin and Baskin 1998;Ungar 2001). Thus, seeds of plants growing in a saline environment are tolerant to salinity and can recover to germinate when salinity decreases.…”

Responses of caryopsis germination, early seedling growth and ramet clonal growth of Bromus inermis to soil salinity

et al. 2008

Bromus inermis is a dominant rhizomatous grass in Otindag Sandland of North China, where soil salinization is increasing. We studied responses of caryopsis germination, early seedling growth and ramet integrative growth of this clonal plant to salinity. Caryopses germinated in NaCl solutions ≤0.2 M. Ungerminated caryopses treated with >0.02 M NaCl germinated after transfer to 0.02 M NaCl, and percentage germination recovery increased with treatment NaCl concentration. No seedlings survived NaCl concentrations >0.3 M. At 0.3 M NaCl, biomass and height of seedlings significantly decreased with increase in treatment NaCl concentration, but root/shoot ratio significantly increased. Ramets exposed to high salinity survived if interconnected to a neighbour ramet not exposed to salinity. However, if interconnections were severed ramets exposed to high salinity died. Thus, B. inermis is adapted to the saline environment in Otindag Sandland in both the asexual and sexual stages of its life cycle.
