Appreciable Variation

The influence of stage of fruit development and plant growth regulators on somatic embryogenesis and the relation of cultivar response on somatic embryogenesis and subsequent plant development have been investigated in eight cultivars of pecan [Carya illinoensis (Wangenh.) C. Koch]. Explants from the micropylar region of the ovule were more embryogenic when removed from fruits in the liquid endosperm stage than were intact ovules from less-mature fruits or from cotyledonary segments of more-mature fruits. Explants conditioned on medium containing auxin alone or auxin + cytokinin produced more somatic embryos than medium containing cytokinin alone. Under the conditions of this study, frequency of embryogenesis, as well as the germination of somatic embryos leading to plant development, indicated appreciable variation among cultivars. Plant development was greatest by far from somatic embryos of `Schley' than other cultivars studied.

Burkholderia kururiensis is a diazotrophic bacterium originally isolated from a polluted aquifer environment and presents a high level of similarity with the rice endophyte "B. brasilensis" species. This work assessed the ability of B. kururiensis to endophytically colonize rice plantlets by monitoring different tissues of root-inoculated plants for the presence of bacterial growth in different media, electron microscopy and by 16S rDNA analysis. Observations of roots, stems and leaves of inoculated rice plantlets by electron microscopy revealed B. kururiensis colonization predominantly on root hair zones, demonstrating endophytic colonization primarily through the endodermis, followed by spreading into xylem vessels, a possible pathway leading to aerial parts. Although indifferent for the bacterial growth itself, addition of a nitrogen source was a limiting factor for endophytic colonization. As endophytic colonization was directly associated to an enhanced plant development, production of phytohormone auxin/indole-3-acetic acid by B. kururiensis was assayed with transgenic rice plantlets containing an auxin-responsive reporter (DR5-GUS). Our findings suggest the ability of auxin production by plant-associated B. kururiensis which may have a stimulatory effect on plant development, as evidenced by activation of DR5-GUS. We hereby demonstrate, for the first time, the ability of B. kururiensis to endophytically colonize rice, promoting both plant growth and rice grain yield.

The article presents the results of a field experiment to study the effects of different rates of the microbial preparation Diazobacterin under different methods of using the plant growth regulator Radostim (seed treatment before sowing and spraying crops) on the content of chlorophyll a and b in buckwheat leaves of Yelena variety, their sum and carotenoids. Determination of chlorophyll a and b, their sum and carotenoids was performed in selected samples of buckwheat leaves in the field conditions, in the phases of stem branching and the beginning of flowering according to the method described by V.F. Gavrylenko and T.V. Zhyhalova using a spectrophotometer. The pigment concentration was calculated from Holm-Wettstein's equations for 100 % acetone. It was found that the content of photosynthetic pigments in buckwheat leaves is conditioned by the weather, rates and methods of application of the studied microbial preparations and phases of plant development. In particular, the analysis of chlorophyll and carotenoid content in the early flowering phase of buckwheat plants showed a significant increase compared to the phase of stem branching, which may be due to increased physiological and biochemical processes in plants, against the background of improving mineral nutrition, growth and plant development. Thus, with the multiple use of the microbial preparation Diazobacterin in the rates of 150, 175 and 200 ml and the stimulator of plant growth Radostim in the rate of 250 ml / t for seed treatment before sowing, the content of chlorophylls a and b, their sum and carotenoids with increasing application of Diazobacterin increased and the excess relative to control ranged within: 29–31 % for chlorophyll a; 10–11 % for chlorophyll b; 24–26 % for their sum and 23–24 % for carotenoids. At the same time, with a complex application for pre-sowing seed treatment of a mixture of the microbial preparation Diazobacterin in the rate of 200 ml per hectare of seeds with the stimulator of plant growth Radostym in the rate of 250 ml / t followed by spraying on this background crops the stimulator of plant growth Radostim in the rate of 50 ml / ha buckwheat leaves form the highest content of chlorophyll a in comparison with the control (40 %); chlorophyll b (15 %); the sum of chlorophyll a + b (33 %) and carotenoids (29 %). These data indicate the creation of more favorable conditions for physiological and biochemical processes in plants, including photosynthesis, with the direct positive effect of which, functionally active pigment complex of the leaf apparatus of buckwheat is formed.

<p>La valoración del efecto del ambiente en el desarrollo de los cultivos es importante para la determinación de zonas aptas y la planificación de la producción. En esta investigación se realizaron cuatro ensayos para evaluar el desarrollo de las plantas de arveja (<em>Pisum sativum </em>L.) variedad Santa Isabel en condiciones de la sabana de Bogotá, Colombia, (2640 msnm, 14°C, 80% H.R., 800 mm de lluvia anual), tema sobre el cual no hay información. Se realizaron dos ensayos bajo cubierta plástica (21°C ± 2,5°C, promedio ± DE) y dos a campo abierto (13,9°C ± 1,2°C). Se evaluó el tiempo de la siembra a la emergencia, la tasa de aparición de nudos en el tallo principal, el inicio de la floración, la duración del ciclo de la siembra hasta la cosecha, el número de nudos totales en la cosecha y el número de nudos con flor. Se encontró que la temperatura bajo cubierta plástica aceleró en 10 días la emergencia de las plantas y redujo el filocrón de 3,05 a 2,72 días/nudo, lo cual a su vez adelantó el momento de floración y cosecha entre 15 y 20 días. La tasa de aparición de nudos no varió significativamente por el cambio de la fase vegetativa a reproductiva. Los resultados contribuyeron a respaldar el modelo dentado de desarrollo vegetal en función de la temperatura para arveja, según el cual el crecimiento es máximo en un rango de temperatura óptima, que se sugiere está entre los 14°C y 21°C. </p><p> </p><p><strong>Phenology of pea crop (</strong><strong><em>Pisum sativum </em></strong><strong>L. var. Santa Isabel) in the Bogotá plateau at open field and under plastic cover</strong> </p><p>The assessment of environment effects on plant development is important to identify suitable zones and schedule crop production. In this research, plant development of pea (<em>Pisum sativum </em>L. var. Santa Isabel) was evaluated under Bogotá flat highland, Colombia, environmental conditions (2640 m over sea level, 14°C, 80% R.H., rainfall of 800 mm/year). Two experiments were done under plastic cover (21°C ± 2,5°C, mean ± SD), and two at open field (13,9 ± 1,2°C). Following variables were evaluated: time to emergence, cycle duration from sowing to harvest, total nude number at harvest and flowering nude number at harvest. It was shown that temperature under plastic cover accelerate plant emergency in 10 days and reduce phyllochron from 3,05 to 2,72 day/node, so the flowering time was accelerated between 15 and 20 days. Node rate appearance did not change from the vegetative to reproductive stage. The results confirm the dent-like model of pea plant growth responses to temperature regimes, so the crop growth had a maximum at a plateau in a temperature range which could be between 14°C and 21°C. </p>

Abstract Potentially toxic metals and metalloids present in mining residues can affect ecosystems, particularly plant growth and development. In this study we evaluated As and heavy metal (Fe, Zn, Cu, Cd, Pb) contents in maize (Zea mays L) plants grown in soils collected near (40 m), at intermediate (400 m) and remote (3000 m) distances from mine tailings near Taxco City, Mexico. Soils sampled near and at intermediate sites from the tailings contained high levels of heavy metals which were 3- to 55-fold higher compared to the control samples. The heavy metal and As content in plants reflected the soil contamination being the greatest for most studied elements in root samples followed by stems, leaves, and kernels. Though plants were capable of completing their life cycle and producing the seeds, high bioaccumulation levels had a strong impact on plant development. Abnormalities in the organs like malformations in reproductive structures (tassel and ear), reduction in the phytomer number and the plant height were present. Microscopic studies and morphometric analyses suggest that strongly affected plant growth result from negative and synergistic action of heavy metals and As in soils on cell growth and cell production. This study showed that maize grown near mine tailings accumulates high levels of heavy metals and As which decrease significantly plant yield and could be dangerous if consumed by animals and humans.
