Effect of UV-B radiation on polyamine metabolism and accumulation of hydroxycinnamates and flavonoids in Norway spruce | Past Projects | Annotation: The aim of the project was to evaluate the alterations in polyamine biosynthetic enzymes and polyamine contents and the levels of hydroxycinnamic acids and flavonoids after the exposure of embryogenic tissue cultures of Norway spruce to UV-B radiation. Histochemical tests for the presence of polyphenolic substances (with UV-B protecting character) on embryo sections completed the biochemical analyses. |

Improvement of pre-sowing treatments for dormant, European beech seeds | Past Projects | Annotation: The overall goal of the project is to determine the factors responsible for the inefficiently of existing, pre-sowing treatments so that beechnut germination and subsequent emergence of beech germinants can be improved. The results will be used to develop protocols for providing better and more economical use of beechnuts including field emergence and for obtaining sufficient quantities of seedlings for reforestation. |

Response of Norway spruce somatic embryos to abiotic stresses | Past Projects | Annotation: The aim of the project is to evaluate the response of Norway spruce somatic embryos to abiotic stresses. Somatic embryos will be exposed to different desiccation treatments (high temperature and decreased humidity) and to different doses of UV-B radiation. The alterations of activities of polyamine biosynthetic enzymes and contents of polyamines, abscisic acid (a key endogenous messenger in a plant's response to stresses) and the extent of lipid peroxidation will be evaluated in somatic embryos cultured in stress conditions. |
