Using high pressure liquid chromatography, the cucumber cotyledon bioassay, and mass spectrometry a cytokinin isolated from Solanum tuberosum L. cv. Katahdin plant tissues has been identified as cis-zeatin riboside. Zeatin riboside (ZR) levels in plants grown under inducing conditions (28 C day and
A radioimmunoassay, combined with high-performance liquid chromatography, has been used to analyse the zeatin-type cytokinins of potato (Solanum tuberosum L. cv. Majestic) tubers and tuber buds throughout growth and storage. During tuber growth, zeatin riboside was the predominant cytokinin detected
A compound was isolated from potato (Solanum tuberosum L. cv Bintje) tuber sprouts by immunoaffinity chromatography with antibodies against the cytokinins zeatin riboside and isopentenyladenosine. Analysis by ultraviolet spectroscopy and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry of derivatives identified
The enzymatic and biochemical properties of the proteins encoded by five potato cytokinin oxidase/dehydrogenase (CKX)-like genes functionally expressed in yeast and the effects of tuber dormancy progression on StCKX expression and cytokinin metabolism were examined in lateral buds isolated from
Potato tubers were engineered to express a bacterial gene encoding 1-deoxy-D-xylulose 5-phosphate synthase (DXS) in order to investigate the effects of perturbation of isoprenoid biosynthesis. Twenty-four independent transgenic lines out of 38 generated produced tubers with significantly elongated
The effects of drought stress on root morphology, endogenous hormones, chlorophyll fluorescence and active oxygen metabolism in three different stages of sweet potato rooting, branching and tubering stage were studied by sand culture method with 10% PEG-6000 simulating drought stress. The results
A method for regenerating plants from petiole protoplasts of the in vitro-raised sweet potato cultivar Jewel is described. Protoplast yields of 3.0-5.0×106 were obtained following 4-6 h digestion of 1- to 2-cm petioles (1 g fresh weight) with 1% Cellulase-R10, 2% Macerozyme-R10, and 0.3%
This is the first report on successful plant regeneration from protoplasts of sweet potato. Two cultivars (Guyana and Duclos XI) of sweet potato plants propagated under in vitro conditions were used as the source of protoplasts. Green compact calli with meristematic areas were induced in the medium
Cryopreservation has been recognized as a practical and efficient tool for long-term storage of vegetatively propagated plants. This study was conducted to investigate effects of modified vitrification techniques on cryopreservation of potato. In vitro plants of potato cultivars "Superior" and
Potato Line Mb1501B is a derivative of the cultivar Maris Bard (Solanum tuberosum), transformed with T-DNA from A. tumefaciens strain LBA1501. In culture it grew as frequently branching stunted shoots with a basal callus, lacking roots. These shoots did not form tubers. When grafted, Mb1501B shoots
The content and the ratio of phytohormones, the activity of enzymes-antioxidants and lipid peroxidation, contents of proline and carotenoids in potato plants under the action of colchicines have been investigated. We have identified specific changes in hormonal balance of the plant initiated by the
Effects of cytokinins were studied on rotenone-sensitive NADH dehydrogenase in mitochondria from fresh potato tubers (Solanum tuberosum), in consideration of the operation of external and rotenone-insensitive internal NADH dehydrogenases that has not been fully accounted for in previous studies. In
An embryogenic cell suspension, continuously grown in Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium with 0.5 mg/L of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, was established from friable callus of Solanum tuberosum internode sections. The cell suspension was predominantly composed of cell masses and free embryogenic
In vitro-grown potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) microtubers were used as an explant source in the production of transgenic plants by Agrobacterium-mediated gene transfer. In this study we tested four diverse potato cultivars, Lemhi Russet, Russet Burbank, Wauseon, and Yankee Chipper on various levels
The effects of the antioxidant Ambiol and 2-chlorethylphosphonic acid (2-CEPA) on individual concentrations and concentration ratios of phytohormones, photosynthesis and photophosphorylation rates, sucrose and starch content in tubers, and plant productivity were studied in potato (Solanum tuberosum
