| characteristics of pollen diffusates and pollen wall cytochemistry in poplars. | pollen diffusates, known to be important in pollen-stigma interactions controlling interspecific incompatibility between populus deltoides and populus alba, have been partly characterized and shown to contain more than 20 protein bands by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, at least 4 of these being glycoproteins. seven fractions had antigenic activity in rabbits and several enzyme activities were also present. peroxidase and leucine aminopeptidase isoenzymes were detected in the diffusates, dem ... | 1980 | 7440650 |
| transgenic analysis of a hybrid poplar wound-inducible promoter reveals developmental patterns of expression similar to that of storage protein genes. | the wound-inducible win3 multigene family from hybrid poplars (populus trichocarpa x populus deltoides) encodes proteins with structural similarities with kunitz-type protease inhibitors (h.d. bradshaw jr., j.b. hollick, t.j. parsons, h.r.g. clarke, m.p. gordon [1990] plant mol biol 14: 51-59), and at least one member, win3.12, is transcribed de novo in the injured and uninjured leaves of wounded trees (j.b. hollick, m.p. gordon [1993] plant mol biol 22: 561-572). a previous study demonstrated t ... | 1995 | 7480333 |
| structure, inheritance, and expression of hybrid poplar (populus trichocarpa x populus deltoides) phenylalanine ammonia-lyase genes. | a heterologous probe encoding phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (pal) was used to identify pal clones in cdna libraries made with rna from young leaf tissue of two populus deltoides x p. trichocarpa f1 hybrid clones. sequence analysis of a 2.4-kb cdna confirmed its identity as a full-length pal clone. the predicted amino acid sequence is conserved in comparison with that of pal genes from several other plants. southern blot analysis of popular genomic dna from parental and hybrid individuals, restrict ... | 1993 | 8108506 |
| a vegetative storage protein homolog is expressed in the growing shoot apex of hybrid poplar. | the ability of poplars (populus deltoides bartr. ex marsh., and populus trichocarpa torr. and gray) to sequester nitrogen in stems in preparation for winter has been associated with the massive accumulation of protein bodies in the bark and xylem ray parenchyma. these protein bodies contain a bark storage protein (bsp) that can account for up to 30% of the total soluble bark protein during the winter months. perhaps the plant's ability to efficiently cycle nitrogen through bsp is an important as ... | 1997 | 9362569 |
| 4-coumarate:coenzyme a ligase in hybrid poplar. properties of native enzymes, cdna cloning, and analysis of recombinant enzymes. | the enzyme 4-coumarate:coenzyme a ligase (4cl) is important in providing activated thioester substrates for phenylpropanoid natural product biosynthesis. we tested different hybrid poplar (populus trichocarpa x populus deltoides) tissues for the presence of 4cl isoforms by fast-protein liquid chromatography and detected a minimum of three 4cl isoforms. these isoforms shared similar hydroxycinnamic acid substrate-utilization profiles and were all inactive against sinapic acid, but instability of ... | 1998 | 9489021 |
| responses of riparian cottonwoods to alluvial water table declines. | / human demands for surface and shallow alluvial groundwater have contributed to the loss, fragmentation, and simplification of riparian ecosystems. populus species typically dominate riparian ecosystems throughout arid and semiarid regions of north american and efforts to minimize loss of riparian populus requires an integrated understanding of the role of surface and groundwater dynamics in the establishment of new, and maintenance of existing, stands. in a controlled, whole-stand field experi ... | 1999 | 9950697 |
| molecular characterization and distribution of a 145-bp tandem repeat family in the genus populus. | this report aims to describe the identification and molecular characterization of a 145-bp tandem repeat family that accounts for nearly 1.5% of the populus genome. three members of this repeat family were cloned and sequenced from populus deltoides and p. ciliata. the dimers of the repeat were sequenced in order to confirm the head-to-tail organization of the repeat. hybridization-based analysis using the 145-bp tandem repeat as a probe on genomic dna gave rise to ladder patterns which were ide ... | 1999 | 10584311 |
| polyphenol oxidase from hybrid poplar. cloning and expression in response to wounding and herbivory. | the inducible expression of polyphenol oxidase (ppo), a presumed antiherbivore enzyme, was examined in hybrid poplar (populus trichocarpa x populus deltoides). following mechanical wounding simulating insect damage, ppo activity increased dramatically in wounded and unwounded leaves on wounded plants beginning at 24 and 48 h, respectively. a hybrid poplar ppo cdna was isolated and its nucleotide sequence determined. on northern blots, ppo transcripts were detected within 8 h of wounding, and rea ... | 2000 | 10982443 |
| functional characterization and subcellular localization of poplar (populus trichocarpa x populus deltoides) cinnamate 4-hydroxylase. | cinnamic acid 4-hydroxylase (c4h), a member of the cytochrome p450 monooxygenase superfamily, plays a central role in phenylpropanoid metabolism and lignin biosynthesis and possibly anchors a phenylpropanoid enzyme complex to the endoplasmic reticulum (er). a full-length cdna encoding c4h was isolated from a hybrid poplar (populus trichocarpa x p. deltoides) young leaf cdna library. rna-blot analysis detected c4h transcripts in all organs tested, but the gene was most highly expressed in develop ... | 2001 | 11351095 |
| nonradioactive assay for cellular dimethylallyl diphosphate. | a sensitive, nonradioactive method was developed to measure cellular levels of dimethylallyl diphosphate (dmapp), a central intermediate of isoprenoid metabolism in nature. the assay is based on the hydrolysis of dmapp in acid to the volatile hydrocarbon isoprene (2-methyl-1,3-butadiene), with subsequent analysis of isoprene by headspace gas chromatography with reduction gas detection. in the assay, cell samples are directly acidified with 4 m h(2)so(4) in sealed reaction vials. therefore, there ... | 2001 | 11355861 |
| increased leaf area expansion of hybrid poplar in elevated co2. from controlled environments to open-top chambers and to face. | we examined the response of hybrid poplar to elevated co2 in contrasting growth environments: controlled environment chamber (ce). open-top chamber (otc) and poplar free air co2 enrichment (popface) in order to compare short versus long-term effects and to determine whether generalisations in response are possible for this fast growing tree. leaf growth, which for poplar is an important determinant of stemwood productivity was followed in all environments, as were the determinants of leaf growth ... | 2001 | 11789926 |
| degradation of trichloroethylene in wetland microcosms containing broad-leaved cattail and eastern cottonwood. | remediation of aquifers containing trichloroethylene (tce) relies primarily on physical extraction of contaminated groundwater and soil. unfortunately, this is typically expensive and does not always attain the desired treatment goals. in situ bioremediation via natural attenuation is an alternative treatment process in which tce is transformed by indigenous microorganisms and plants. in this study, tce was observed in a surficial aquifer that discharges into a wetland. experiments were undertak ... | 2002 | 11996342 |
| phytoremediation of subarctic soil contaminated with diesel fuel. | the effects of several plant species, native to northern latitudes, and different soil amendments, on diesel fuel removal from soil were studied. plant treatments included scots pine (pinus sylvestris), poplar (populus deltoides x wettsteinii), a grass mixture (red fescue, fesuca rubra; smooth meadowgrass, poa pratensis and perennial ryegrass, lolium perenne) and a legume mixture (white clover, trifolium repens and pea, pisum sativum). soil amendments included npk fertiliser, a compost extract a ... | 2002 | 12118697 |
| hypersensitivity to common tree pollens in new york city patients. | testing for tree pollen hypersensitivity typically requires the use of several tree pollens. identifying patterns of cross-sensitivity to tree pollens could reduce the number of trees used for testing. the goal of this study was to relate reported tree pollen levels to hypersensitivity patterns. three hundred seventy-one allergy patients were tested serologically for hypersensitivity toward prevalent tree pollens in the surrounding new york area over the years 1993-2000. specific tree pollens th ... | 2002 | 12221895 |
| cloning, functional expression, and subcellular localization of multiple nadph-cytochrome p450 reductases from hybrid poplar. | nadph:cytochrome p450 reductase (cpr) provides reducing equivalents to diverse cytochrome p450 monooxygenases. we isolated cdnas for three cpr genes (cpr1, cpr2, and cpr3) from hybrid poplar (populus trichocarpa x populus deltoides). deduced cpr2 and cpr3 amino acid sequences were 91% identical, but encoded isoforms divergent from cpr1 (72% identity). cpr1 and cpr2 were co-expressed together with the p450 enzyme cinnamate-4-hydroxylase (c4h) in yeast (saccharomyces cerevisiae). microsomes isolat ... | 2002 | 12481067 |
| rapid alkalinization factors in poplar cell cultures. peptide isolation, cdna cloning, and differential expression in leaves and methyl jasmonate-treated cells. | a family of peptides inducing rapid ph alkalinization in hybrid poplar (populus trichocarpa x populus deltoides) cell culture medium was isolated from hybrid poplar leaves. five related approximately 5-kd peptides were purified by high-performance liquid chromatography and analyzed by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-mass spectrometry. the n-terminal sequence of one of the isolated peptides was very similar to a previously characterized peptide from tobacco (nicotiana tabacum), rapid ... | 2003 | 12586905 |
| molecular analysis of natural populations of populus nigra l intermingled with cultivated hybrids. | in this study six simple sequence repeats (ssr or microsatellites) were selected for their ability to fingerprint a total of 60 commercial clones of populus deltoides marsh. and populus x canadensis moench (typically derived from crosses between populus nigra l and p. deltoides) and to characterize a natural population of p. nigra growing along the ticino river in the north of italy. out of six ssrs used, four microsatellite loci were found to have alleles which were species-specific to p. delto ... | 2003 | 12859627 |
| poplar metal tolerance protein 1 confers zinc tolerance and is an oligomeric vacuolar zinc transporter with an essential leucine zipper motif. | cation diffusion facilitator (cdf) proteins are a recently discovered family of cation efflux transporters that might play an essential role in metal homeostasis and tolerance. here, we describe the identification, characterization, and localization of ptdmtp1, a member of the cdf family from the hybrid poplar populus trichocarpa x populus deltoides. ptdmtp1 is expressed constitutively and ubiquitously, although at low levels. heterologous expression in yeast showed that ptdmtp1 was able to comp ... | 2003 | 14630973 |

| phytoremediation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in manufactured gas plant-impacted soil. | contamination of soil by hazardous substances poses a significant threat to human, environmental, and ecological health. cleanup of the contaminants using destructive, invasive technologies has proven to be expensive and more importantly, often damaging to the natural resource properties of the soil, sediment, or aquifer. phytoremediation is defined as the cleanup of contaminated sites using plants. there has been evidence of enhanced polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (pahs) degradation in rhizos ... | 2005 | 16151227 |
| microbiology of wetwood: importance of pectin degradation and clostridium species in living trees. | wetwood samples from standing trees of eastern cottonwood (populus deltoides), black poplar (populus nigra), and american elm (ulmus americana) contained high numbers of aerobic and anaerobic pectin-degrading bacteria (10 to 10 cells per g of wood). high activity of polygalacturonate lyase (</=0.5 u/ml) was also detected in the fetid liquid that spurted from wetwood zones in the lower trunk when the trees were bored. a prevalent pectin-degrading obligately anaerobic bacterium isolated from these ... | 1981 | 16345848 |
| stomatal characteristics of riparian poplar species in a semi-arid environment. | several native poplar species meet at the margins of their natural distributions in southern alberta, canada. in this semi-arid area, poplars are obligate riparian species but they occupy several intergrading ecoregions. populus deltoides bartr. ex marsh predominates in the warmest and driest eastern prairie ecoregions; p. balsamifera l. occupies the cooler and wetter western parkland and montane ecoregions; and p. angustifolia james and hybrids between the species occur in the intermediate gras ... | 2006 | 16356918 |
| stimulation and molecular characterization of bacterial perchlorate degradation by plant-produced electron donors. | root homogenate from poplar trees (populus deltoides x nigra dn34, imperial carolina) stimulated perchlorate degradation in microcosms of soil and water samples collected at a perchlorate contaminated site, the longhorn army ammunition plant (lhaap), located outside karnack, texas. direct use of root products by perchlorate-degrading bacteria was shown for the first time as six pureculture bacteria isolated from lhaap perchlorate-degrading microcosms degraded perchlorate when given root products ... | 2006 | 16433366 |
| assessment of populus wood chemistry following the introduction of a bt toxin gene. | unintended changes in plant physiology, anatomy and metabolism as a result of genetic engineering are a concern as more transgenic plants are commercially deployed in the ecosystem. we compared the cell wall chemical composition of three populus lines (populus trichocarpa torr. & a. gray x populus trichocarpa bartr. ex marsh., populus trichocarpa x populus nigra l. and populus deltoides x populus nigra) genetically modified to express the cry3a or cry3b2 protein of bacillus thuringiensis (bt) wi ... | 2006 | 16452069 |
| hybrid poplar clones with populus maximowiczii parentage demonstrate postoviposition antibiosis to cryptorhynchus lapathi (coleoptera: curculionidae). | damage caused by the poplar-and-willow borer, cryptorhynchus lapathi (l.) (coleoptera: curculionidae), is reported to vary among hybrid poplar clones. we evaluated oviposition preferences and larval success in four hybrid poplars on potted and field-planted trees. oviposition occurred somewhat less frequently and abundantly on two clones with populus maximowiczii henry parentage in field-planted and potted trees, and significantly fewer larvae survived to adulthood on those clones. no adults eme ... | 2005 | 16539157 |
| inhibition of polar indole-3-acetic acid transport by cycloheximide. | cycloheximide inhibits polar indoleacetic acid transport in midrib tissues of leaves of citrus (citrus sinensis [l.] osbeck) and poplar (populus deltoides bartr.) as measured by the donor-receiver agar cylinder technique. it appears that the mechanism of auxin transport inhibition by cycloheximide consists in arresting protein synthesis and not in the disruption of energy flow. the interpretation of the data takes into account the involvement of either a carrier protein or auxin-induced proton e ... | 1979 | 16660887 |
| alcohol dehydrogenase and pyruvate decarboxylase activity in leaves and roots of eastern cottonwood (populus deltoides bartr.) and soybean (glycine max l.). | pyruvate decarboxylase (pdc, ec 4.1.1.1) and alcohol dehydrogenase (adh, ec 1.1.1.1) are responsible for the anaerobic production of acetaldehyde and ethanol in higher plants. in developing soybean embryos, adh activity increased upon imbibition and then declined exponentially with development, and was undetectable in leaves by 30 days after imbibition. pdc was not detectable in soybean leaves. in contrast, adh activity remained high in developing cottonwood seedlings, with no decline in activit ... | 1987 | 16665586 |
| the 32-kilodalton vegetative storage protein of salix microstachya turz : characterization and immunolocalization. | a 32-kilodalton vegetative storage protein, found in salix microstachya turz. bark during the overwintering period, was purified and characterized using several polyacrylamide gel electrophoretic procedures. solubility characteristics and amino acid analyses were also performed. the protein is water soluble, is glycosylated, has no disulfide-bonded subunits, but is composed of a family of isoelectric isomers. the majority of these isomers are basic. characteristic of storage proteins, the protei ... | 1991 | 16668465 |
| poplar ft2 shortens the juvenile phase and promotes seasonal flowering. | many woody perennials, such as poplar (populus deltoides), are not able to form flower buds during the first several years of their life cycle. they must undergo a transition from the juvenile phase to the reproductive phase to be competent to produce flower buds. after this transition, trees begin to form flower buds in the spring of each growing season. the genetic factors that control flower initiation, ending the juvenile phase, are unknown in poplar. the factors that regulate seasonal flowe ... | 2006 | 16844908 |
| uptake of n-nitrosodimethylamine (ndma) from water by phreatophytes in the absence and presence of perchlorate as a co-contaminant. | the uptake and fate of the emerging contaminants n-nitrosodimethylamine (ndma) and perchlorate in phreatophytes was studied in a hydroponics system under greenhouse conditions. ndma is a potent carcinogen, and perchlorate disrupts the functioning ofthe human thyroid gland. the rate of removal of ndma from solution by rooted cuttings of black willow (salix nigra) and hybrid poplar (populus deltoides x nigra, dn34) trees varied seasonally, with faster removal in summer months when transpiration ra ... | 2006 | 17180991 |
| coupling two mercury resistance genes in eastern cottonwood enhances the processing of organomercury. | eastern cottonwood (populus deltoides bartr. ex marsh.) trees were engineered to express mera (mercuric ion reductase) and merb (organomercury lyase) transgenes in order to be used for the phytoremediation of mercury-contaminated soils. earlier studies with arabidopsis thaliana and nicotiana tabacum showed that this gene combination resulted in more efficient detoxification of organomercurial compounds than did merb alone, but neither species is optimal for long-term field applications. leaf dis ... | 2007 | 17309680 |
| simultaneous growth and emission measurements demonstrate an interactive control of methanol release by leaf expansion and stomata. | emission from plants is a major source of atmospheric methanol. growing tissues contribute most to plant-generated methanol in the atmosphere, but there is still controversy over biological and physico-chemical controls of methanol emission. methanol as a water-soluble compound is thought to be strongly controlled by gas-phase diffusion (stomatal conductance), but growth rate can follow a different diurnal rhythm from that of stomatal conductance, and the extent to which the emission control is ... | 2007 | 17374874 |
| transcript profiling of poplar leaves upon infection with compatible and incompatible strains of the foliar rust melampsora larici-populina. | to understand key processes governing defense mechanisms in poplar (populus spp.) upon infection with the rust fungus melampsora larici-populina, we used combined histological and molecular techniques to describe the infection of populus trichocarpa x populus deltoides 'beaupré' leaves by compatible and incompatible fungal strains. striking differences in host-tissue infection were observed after 48-h postinoculation (hpi) between compatible and incompatible interactions. no reactive oxygen spec ... | 2007 | 17400708 |
| microparticle collection and concentration via a miniature surface acoustic wave device. | the ability to detect microbes, pollens and other microparticles is a critically important ability given the increasing risk of bioterrorism and emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. the efficient collection of microparticles via a liquid water droplet moved by a surface acoustic wave (saw) device is demonstrated in this study. a fluidic track patterned on the saw device directs the water droplet's motion, and fluid streaming induced inside the droplet as it moves along is a key advantage ... | 2007 | 17476381 |
| function and chromosomal localization of differentially expressed genes induced by marssonina brunnea f. sp. multigermtubi in populus deltoides. | a total of 1,160 differentially expressed genes induced by marssonina brunnea f. sp. multigermtubi were identified in populus deltoides cv.
