The effect of Furolan on the physiological and biochemical characteristics of ripening winter wheat grain

The effects of the preparation Furolan, (2-furyl-2)-1,3-dioxolane, on the degree of mRNA polyadenylation and the pattern of protein synthesis in the ripening grain of several soft winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars were studied. It was demonstrated that Furolan stabilized mRNA in a cultiv...

Description
Summary:The effects of the preparation Furolan, (2-furyl-2)-1,3-dioxolane, on the degree of mRNA polyadenylation and the pattern of protein synthesis in the ripening grain of several soft winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars were studied. It was demonstrated that Furolan stabilized mRNA in a cultivar-specific manner, thereby accelerating to various degrees the biochemical processes taking place in the ripening grain. Of the wheat cultivars studied, Krasnodarskaya 99 was the most responsive cultivar with respect to a set of changes in nucleic-protein metabolism; the cultivar Deya was next followed by the cultivar Bat'ko. The cultivar Kroshka did not respond to the treatment with Furolan. The cultivar specificity of this preparation allows its practical application to be optimized.
