PCR Primers for identification of high sucrose Saccharum genotypes.

The progeny of a cross between high sucrose sugarcane clone S. officinarum 'Gungera' and a low sucrose clone S. spontaneum 'SES 603' resulted in interspecific hybrids that were named as ISH-1 to ISH-29 and graded on the basis of sucrose content.

DCMU inhibits in vivo nitrate reduction in illuminated barley (C(3)) leaves but not in maize (C(4)): a new mechanism for the role of light?

The leaves of C(4) plants possess a superior metabolic efficiency not only in terms of photosynthetic carbon assimilation, but also in terms of inorganic nitrogen assimilation, when compared to C(3)plants. In vivo nitrate assimilation efficiency of leaves is dependent on light, but the obligatory presence of light has been debated and its role remains confounded. This problem has not been addressed from the standpoint of the C(3) vs.
