The glyoxalase system plays an important role in various physiological processes in plants, including salt stress tolerance. We report the effects of overexpressing glyoxalase I and glyoxalase II genes in transgenic tomato (Solanum lycopersicum Mill.) cv. Ailsa Craig. Stable expression of both tr...
Despite the Montreal protocol and the eventual recovery of the ozone layer over Antarctica, there are still concerns about increased levels of ultraviolet-B (UV-B) radiation in the Southern Hemisphere. UV-B induces physiological, biochemical and morphological stress responses in plants, which are...
The effects of increased doses of UV-B radiation on anatomical, biochemical and molecular features of leaves of two highbush blueberry (Vaccinium colymbosum L cv. Brigitta and Bluegold) genotypes were investigated. Plants were grown in a solid substrate and exposed to 0, 0.07, 0.12 and 0.19 Wm(-2...

This investigation considered the problem of determining irrigation conditions under which the impact of water deficit stress on a blueberry plant would be minimal. Specifically, and as a first methodological step, we solved the problem of simulating numerically the soil-water-plant system, assum...

The purpose of this study was to determine the temporal evolution of soil properties following the incorporation of biosolids in a degraded Inceptisol soil (Typic Endoaquepts). The study was conducted in the Araucan a Region of Chile, where two sampling zones were established: a control zone with...

We studied physiological traits and Mn transporter genes expression in ryegrass genotypes (One -50, Banquet -II, Halo-AR1 and Nui) under increasing Mn (2.4-750 M) at short-term (8-24 h) in nutrient solution. An increment in Mn concentration occurred early in roots of all genotypes at increased Mn...

Peumus boldus Mol. ('Boldo') and Cryptocarya alba Mol. Looser ('Peumo') are medicinal shrubs with wide geographical distribution in South America. Their leaves and fruits are commonly used in traditional medicine because they exhibit natural medicinal properties for treatment of liver disorders a...

Highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L.) is an important crop well adapted to acid soils, but sensitive to Al3+ toxicity. Gypsum amendments are frequently used to reduce Al3+ toxicity in V. corymbosum. However, little is known about the physiological and metabolic responses to gypsum applicat...
