Expression analysis of some cold responsive ests in seed ling-stage cold-tolerant qtl in rice (oryza sativa l).

Ranawake, A.L.; Nakamura, C. (Faculty of Agriculture-University of Ruhuna, 2013-03-04)

Recombinant inbred lines (RILs) derived from a Japonica parent Hygokithanishiki (HGKN) and Indica parent Hokuriku (HOK) were used to identify quantitative trait loci (QTLs) controlling cold tolerance at the seedling ...
In vitro induction of octaploid from colchicine-treated tetraploid petiole explants of purple coneflower (echinacea purpurea l.)

Dahanayake, N.; Yue-Sheng Yang (Faculty of Agriculture-University of Ruhuna, 2013-04-09)

Petiole explants were obtained from in vitro grown tetraploid (2 x = 44) Echinacea purpurea plantlets. Shoots were regenerated by culturing the explants on MS basal medium containing 0.5mg/L benzyladenine (BA), 0.01mg/L ...
A calcium dependent protein kinase involves h2o2 mediated guard cell signaling in arabidopsis

Ratnasekera, D. (Faculty of Agriculture-University of Ruhuna, 2013-05-29)

Drought is a major threat for plant growth and productivity. Plants lose over 90% of water by transpiration through stomatal pores. The cytosolic free Ca2+ elevated in guard cells in response to stress stimuli triggers ...
