fraxinus floribunda/proline

With the aim to differentiate the ionic and osmotic components of salt stress, short and long-term changes in free polyamines and proline induced by iso-osmotic concentrations of NaCl (0.1 mol/L and 0.2 mol/L) and mannitol (0.2 mol/L and 0.4 mol/L) were determined in Fraxinus angustifolia callus.

Transcription factors play a key role to enable plants to cope with abiotic stresses. DREB2 regulates the expression of several stress-inducible genes and constitutes major hubs in the water stress signalling webs. We cloned and characterized a novel gene encoding the FpDREB2A transcription factor

The emerald ash borer (Agrilus planipennis Fairmaire, EAB) is an alien, invasive wood-boring insect that is responsible for killing millions of ash trees since its discovery in North America in 2002. All North American ash species (Fraxinus spp.) that EAB has encountered have shown various degrees

Fraxinus mandshurica is considered a dioecious hardwood, and the temporal separation of the maturation of the male and female flowers is one reason that F. mandshurica has become an endangered species in China. Rainfall and low temperature influence pollen formation and dispersal and the blooming of
