Synthesis of heat-shock proteins in six cotton cultivars at different heat treatments
Item type: Journal Article • Journal: South African Journal of Plant and Soil • Authors: J.A. de Ronde --- , Republic of South Africa W.A. Cress --- Department of Botany, Republic of South AfricaChanges in protein synthesis in leaf tissue of six cotton cultivars were studied by comparing the heat-shock protein patterns synthesized at different heat treatments. Leaf tissue responded to thermotolerance treatments by synthesizing a specific set of proteins for each treatment... -
The response of germinating sunflower seed to heat tolerance induction
Item type: Journal Article • Journal: South African Journal of Plant and Soil • Authors: A.A. Nel --- , Republic of South AfricaVigour of pre-emergent sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) seedlings is reduced when daily peak soil temperatures exceed 44°C resulting in poor emergence. Seedlings of sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) are known to acquire thermotolerance to temperatures of 45–50°C as a consequence...
