rare earth elements (rees): effects on germination and growth of selected crop and native plant species.	the phytotoxicity of rare earth elements (rees) is still poorly understood. the exposure-response relationships of three native canadian plant species (common milkweed, asclepias syriaca l., showy ticktrefoil, desmodium canadense (l.) dc. and switchgrass, panicum virgatum l.) and two commonly used crop species (radish, raphanus sativus l., and tomato, solanum lycopersicum l.) to the rees lanthanum (la), yttrium (y) and cerium (ce) were tested. in separate experiments, seven to eight doses of eac ...	2014	23978671
enhanced reduction of phenol content and toxicity in olive mill wastewaters by a newly isolated strain of coriolopsis gallica.	the search for novel microorganisms able to degrade olive mill wastewaters (omw) and withstand the toxic effects of the initially high phenolic concentrations is of great scientific and industrial interest. in this work, the possibility of reducing the phenolic content of omw using new isolates of fungal strains (coriolopsis gallica, bjerkandera adusta, trametes versicolor, trichoderma citrinoviride, phanerochaete chrysosporium, gloeophyllum trabeum, trametes trogii, and fusarium solani) was inv ...	2014	23979847
tandem combination of trigonella foenum-graecum defensin (tfgd2) and raphanus sativus antifungal protein (rsafp2) generates a more potent antifungal protein.	plant defensins are small (45 to 54 amino acids) positively charged antimicrobial peptides produced by the plant species, which can inhibit the growth of a broad range of fungi at micro-molar concentrations. these basic peptides share a common characteristic three-dimensional folding pattern with one α-helix and three β-sheets that are stabilized by eight disulfide-linked cysteine residues. instead of using two single-gene constructs, it is beneficial when two effective genes are made into a sin ...	2013	24022215

an investigation of the intracellular site of anthocyanoplasts using isolated protoplasts and vacuoles.	microscopic observations made during preparation of protoplasts and vacuoles from red radish seedling hypocotyl (raphanus sativus l.) show that anthocyanoplasts, the strongly pigmented bodies present in the pigmented cells of the hypodermis, begin as apparently membranous vesicles in the cytoplasm made visible by the deposition and accumulation of anthocyanins, but only rarely appear in the isolated vacuole. isolation of protoplasts and vacuoles was also achieved from mung bean seedling hypocoty ...	1988	24240251
repressing the expression of self-incompatibility in crucifers by short-term high temperature treatment.	the effect of short-term high temperature on the expression of self-incompatibility was studied in detached flowers of brassica oleracea, b. campestris and raphanus sativus. the expression of self-incompatibility was repressed by treatment of pistils at 40 °c for 15 minutes. treatment at 50 °c repressed self-incompatibility but it also disturbed pollen tube elongation into stylar tissue. s-glycoproteins did not show any quantitative changes during the intact pistil treatment under 50 °c. callose ...	1987	24241104

the xanthomonas campestris effector protein xopdxcc8004 triggers plant disease tolerance by targeting della proteins.	plants protect themselves from the harmful effects of pathogens by resistance and tolerance. disease resistance, which eliminates pathogens, can be modulated by bacterial type iii effectors. little is known about whether disease tolerance, which sustains host fitness with a given pathogen burden, is regulated by effectors. here, we examined the effects of the xanthomonas effector protein xopdxcc8004 on plant disease defenses by constructing knockout and complemented xanthomonas strains, and perf ...	2014	25040905
potential water retention capacity as a factor in silage effluent control: experiments with high moisture by-product feedstuffs.	the role of moisture absorptive capacity of pre-silage material and its relationship with silage effluent in high moisture by-product feedstuffs (hmbf) is assessed. the term water retention capacity which is sometimes used in explaining the rate of effluent control in ensilage may be inadequate, since it accounts exclusively for the capacity of an absorbent incorporated into a pre-silage material prior to ensiling, without consideration to how much the pre-silage material can release. a new term ...	2012	25049587
