Cultures of Gossypium barbadense cotton ovules offer insights into the microtubule-mediated control of fiber cell expansion

Planta, 249(5), 1551–1563.

By: E. Pierce n, B. Graham n, M. Stiff n, J. Osborne n & C. Haigler n 

author keywords: Colchicine; Cotton fiber; Cytoskeleton; Fluridone; Ovule culture; Plant cell growth
MeSH headings : Cotton Fiber; Cytoskeleton / drug effects; Cytoskeleton / metabolism; Gene Expression Profiling; Gene Expression Regulation, Plant / drug effects; Gossypium / cytology; Gossypium / drug effects; Gossypium / metabolism; Microtubules / drug effects; Microtubules / metabolism; Pyridones / pharmacology
TL;DR: A novel method for culturing ovules of G. barbadense allowed in vitro comparisons with Gossypium hirsutum and revealed variable roles of microtubules in controlling cotton fiber cell expansion, which supported the zonal control of cell expansion in one type ofG. (via Semantic Scholar)

2011 journal article

Analysis of CoQ(10) in Cultivated Tobacco by a High-Performance Liquid Chromatography-Ultraviolet Method

JOURNAL OF AGRICULTURAL AND FOOD CHEMISTRY, 59(17), 9054–9058.

By: M. Stiff n, A. Weissinger n & D. Danehower n

author keywords: ubiquinone; coenzyme Q; tobacco; HPLC
MeSH headings : Chromatography, High Pressure Liquid / methods; Drug Stability; Plant Leaves / chemistry; Tobacco / anatomy & histology; Tobacco / chemistry; Ubiquinone / analogs & derivatives; Ubiquinone / analysis; Vitamins / analysis
TL;DR: A method for the routine analysis of coenzyme Q(10) in green leaf tissue of cultivated Nicotiana tabacum (tobacco) using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with UV detection is described, finding that this method will likely be useful in the analysis of CoQ in the green leaves of other plant species.
