Isolation Of Trichomes From Wheat And Other Species Of Flowering Plants, Zaure G. Aytasheva, Elizaveta D. Bogdanova, Aitkali M. Kalimagambetov, Sergey V. Chekalin, Fatima A. Polimbetova Jan 2006

Isolation Of Trichomes From Wheat And Other Species Of Flowering Plants, Zaure G. Aytasheva, Elizaveta D. Bogdanova, Aitkali M. Kalimagambetov, Sergey V. Chekalin, Fatima A. Polimbetova

Turkish Journal of Botany

Plant hairiness or pubescence as a specific phenotypical feature related to dehydration tolerance and resistance to leaf vermin is considered in this paper. A method for the isolation of trichomes, earlier developed for Arabidopsis Heynh., was found to be appropriate for the separation of similar polarised cells from pubescent wheat, Triticum aestivum L., lines, as well as some other higher plant species. This procedure thus paves the way for the study of the molecular organisation of trichomes in wheat and other mono- and dicotyledoneous plants.


Alleviation Of Salinity-Induced Dormancy By Growth Regulators In Wheat Seeds, Zamin Shaheed Siddiqui, Syed Shahid Shaukat, Arif Uz Zaman Jan 2006

Alleviation Of Salinity-Induced Dormancy By Growth Regulators In Wheat Seeds, Zamin Shaheed Siddiqui, Syed Shahid Shaukat, Arif Uz Zaman

Turkish Journal of Botany

The effect of 2 growth regulators, betaine and thiourea, was examined to learn the extent to which they can alleviate salinity-induced dormancy of wheat seeds. Germination velocity (as measured by Timson index) progressively decreased with increasing salinity, while thiourea and betaine, alone or in combination, elevated the germination velocity of wheat seeds. Timson index showed significant improvement in germination velocity when thiourea was used at 225 mM NaCl. Likewise, the adverse effect of salinity on growth parameters, like root and shoot lengths and fresh and dry weights, was also alleviated considerably when growth regulators were added. The application of growth …
