This book was released on 2010 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: High temperature is a major factor limiting the growth of cool-season plant species during summer. Understanding mechanisms of plant tolerance to high temperature would help develop effective management practices and heat-tolerant cultivars through breeding or biotechnology. This dissertation research explored physiological, biochemical and molecular mechanisms for improving heat tolerance in two bentgrass species, creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera L.), a widely used cool-season grass species on golf course tees and putting greens, and thermal rough bentgrass (Agrostis scabra Willd.) adapted to geothermal areas in Yellowstone National Park. The dissertation reports research in three main components. The first section compared differential heat-induced metabolism of hormones, proteins and metabolites between heat-sensitive creeping bentgrass and heat-tolerant A. scabra. Based on the findings that heat tolerance of bentgrass was associated with changes in stress-related hormone levels, the effects of foliar-applied hormone or hormone inhibitors on creeping bentgrass to enhance heat tolerance were further studied. Results from both growth chamber and field studies confirmed the effectiveness of applying hormones or hormone-based plant growth regulators on alleviating heat injuries in creeping bentgrass. In the last part of the dissertation, a few transgenic creeping bentgrass lines with improved heat tolerance were characterized. These transgenic lines carry a gene (ipt) controlling cytokinin synthesis. Increased ipt gene expression and cytokinin levels were confirmed and changes in morphological and physiological traits of the plants were examined. Genome-wide protein responses to the addition of the gene and their association with heat tolerance were discussed. The results indicated that transformation with the ipt gene induced protein changes involved in multiple functional groups, mainly in energy, protein destination and storage, and disease/defense categories in both leaves and roots of creeping bentgrass, thus cytokinins may have regulatory roles in multiple metabolic pathways for heat tolerance. Taken together, these studies suggest summer performance of creeping bentgrass may be improved by properly applying hormone-based plant growth regulators or biostimulants, and incorporating molecular markers developed from heat- and/or hormone-responsive proteins and metabolites may facilitate selection of heat-tolerant creeping bentgrass cultivars.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this ready reference, a global team of experts comprehensively cover molecular and cell biology-based approaches to the impact of increasing global temperatures on crop productivity. The work is divided into four parts. Following an introduction to the general challenges for agriculture around the globe due to climate change, part two discusses how the resulting increase of abiotic stress factors can be dealt with. The third part then outlines the different strategies and approaches to address the challenge of climate change, and the whole is rounded off by a number of specific examples of improvements to crop productivity. With its forward-looking focus on solutions, this book is an indispensable help for the agro-industry, policy makers and academia.

This book was released on 2011-08 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Invasions of non-native plants into forests of the Southern United States continue to go unchecked and only partially un-monitored. These infestations increasingly erode forest productivity, hindering forest use and management activities, and degrading diversity and wildlife habitat. Often called non-native, exotic, non-indigenous, alien, or noxious weeds, they occur as trees, shrubs, vines, grasses, ferns, and forbs. This guide provides information on accurate identification of the 56 non-native plants and groups that are currently invading the forests of the 13 Southern States. In additin, it lists other non-native plants of growing concern. Illustrations. This is a print on demand edition of an important, hard-to-find publication.

Download or read book Plant Abiotic Stress written by Matthew A. Jenks and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2008-04-15 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past decade, our understanding of plant adaptation to environmental stress has grown considerably. This book focuses on stress caused by the inanimate components of the environment associated with climatic, edaphic and physiographic factors that substantially limit plant growth and survival. Categorically these are abiotic stresses, which include drought, salinity, non-optimal temperatures and poor soil nutrition. Another stress, herbicides, is covered in this book to highlight how plants are impacted by abiotic stress originating from anthropogenic sources. The book also addresses the high degree to which plant responses to quite diverse forms of environmental stress are interconnected, describing the ways in which the plant utilizes and integrates many common signals and subsequent pathways to cope with less favorable conditions. The book is directed at researchers and professionals in plant physiology, cell biology and molecular biology, in both the academic and industrial sectors.
