| chloroplast dna phylogeography of photinia glabra (rosaceae) in japan. | climate changes during glacial periods have had significant effects on the present geographic distribution of plant species. to elucidate the evolutionary history of a plant species with a disjunctive distribution, we investigated the geographic distribution patterns of cpdna haplotypes in photinia glabra (rosaceae) growing in broadleaved evergreen forests in japan. we examined cpdna in 42 populations of p. glabra sampled over a geographic range that included kinki and its surrounding areas and ... | 2006 | 21642130 |
| purification and characteristics of sorbitol-6-phosphate dehydrogenase from loquat leaves. | to study the role of sorbitol-6-phosphate dehydrogenase in sorbitol synthesis in leaves of rosaceous plants, properties of the enzyme and its presence in several plants in the family was investigated. the activity of the enzyme, which catalyzes an nadp-dependent oxidation of the substrate to glucose-6-phosphate, was detected in leaves of prunus mume, prunus persica, rhaphiolepsis indica, sorbus aucuparia, cydonia oblonga, photinia glabra, sorbaria kirilowii, and spiraea thunbergii.the enzyme was ... | 1981 | 16661650 |
| physiological basis of seasonal trend in leaf photosynthesis of five evergreen broad-leaved species in a temperate deciduous forest. | the physiological basis of photosynthesis during winter was investigated in saplings of five evergreen broad-leaved species (camellia japonica l., cleyera japonica thunb., photinia glabra (thunb.) maxim., castanopsis cuspidata (thunb.) schottky and quercus glauca thunb.) co-occurring under deciduous canopy trees in a temperate forest. we focused on temperature dependence of photosynthetic rate and capacity as important physiological parameters that determine light-saturated rates of net photosyn ... | 2006 | 16356922 |
