Structure Of The Stigma And Style In Capsicum Eximiumand The Effects Of Pollination, A. Naci̇ Onuş Jan 2000

Structure Of The Stigma And Style In Capsicum Eximiumand The Effects Of Pollination, A. Naci̇ Onuş

Turkish Journal of Botany

Since the stigma surface provides the first point of contact for pollen grains, the initial pollen-pistil interaction takes place between these two structures. It is, therefore, important to understand the stucture of the stigma, as well as the style, in order to reveal the nature of pollen-pistil interaction. The aim of this study was to gather more information about interactions between pollen and pistil in Capsicum eximium A.T.Hunz Solanaceae by studying immature, mature unpollinated and mature pollinated styles. It was found that most features of the stigma and style of C. eximiumresembled those of other genera in the Solanaceae.


A Study Of Selected Isozymes In Capsicum Baccatum, Capsicum Eximium, Capsicum Cardenasii And Two Interspecific F_1 Hybrids In Capsicum Species, A. Naci̇ Onuş, Barbara Pickersgill Jan 2000

A Study Of Selected Isozymes In Capsicum Baccatum, Capsicum Eximium, Capsicum Cardenasii And Two Interspecific F_1 Hybrids In Capsicum Species, A. Naci̇ Onuş, Barbara Pickersgill

Turkish Journal of Botany

Selected isozymes were investigated in plants of Capsicum baccatum L. ( Solanaceae) accessions SA219 (P.G.Smith), Hawkes 6489 (P.G.Smith), Capsicum cardenasii Heiser and Smith accession SA268 (P.G.Smith), Capsicum eximium A.T.Hunz accession Hawkes 3860 (J.G.Hawkes) and two interspecific F1 hybrids, C. baccatum SA219 x C. eximium Hawkes 3860 and C. baccatum Hawkes 6489 x C. cardenasii SA 268. The standard technique of horizontal gel electrophoresis was employed. The gel was cut into several slices and stained for different enzyme systems (aconitase, alanin aminopeptidase, esterase, glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase, glycerate-2-dehydrogenases, isocitrate dehydrogenase, malate dehydrogenase, peroxidase, phosphoglucomutase, phosphoglucose isomerases and shikimate dehydrogenases). After fixing the …
