A Guard Cell-Specific Tool for Molecular Manipulation of Drought Tolerance/Water Loss in Plants
Published Thursday, November 9, 2006In response to sunlight, drought and other stimuli, guard cells control the opening and closing of microscopic stomatal pores on leaves of plants through which the plant gives off water vapor and oxygen to the atmosphere and takes in carbon dioxide for photosynthesis. Guard cells thereby moderate the amount of water and carbon dioxide in plants...

Enrichment of Zinc and Cadmium in Phytoaccumulator Biomass
Published Wednesday, July 21, 2004"Phytomining refers to the extraction of metals from metal-accumulating plants. Known as hyperaccumulators, such plants can be grown in areas that are toxic to other life, such as mining sites contaminated with heavy metals. They can also be grown in soil that contains trace metals. Phytomining nickel, for example, can occur in soil with as little...

Method for Altering the Metabolism of a Plant
Published Monday, April 5, 1999Scientists at the Salisbury University of Maryland ‘s Eastern Shore and at the University of Missouri have demonstrated increased yield of specific plant products by isolating symbionts from plants exposed to non-traditional growing conditions and introducing the isolated symbionts in numbers to plants growing under normal conditions. Interesting...

JEF-f1 Fall Bearing Red Raspberry ( Josephine )
Published Tuesday, October 21, 1997Fall bearing red raspberry plant. It is productive but later in the season than all of the cultivars known to us to be presently in use. This characteristic makes it suitable for completing the season in California, the Mid Atlantic States and in the southern Mid West. As this cultivar was tested as a primocane bearer, meaning all...

A Method for Improving the Germinability of Seeds
Published Tuesday, April 30, 1996The germination rate of crop seeds influences the final yield of crops planted by a farmer, yet currently there is no effective method for ensuring a high seed germination rate. In particular, seeds that have been stored for any length of time tend to show lower germination rates over time.A researcher at Salisbury State University, in...
