High impact information on Pelargonium

• Identification and characterization of cDNAs encoding ethylene biosynthetic enzymes from Pelargonium x hortorum cv Snow Mass leaves [1].
• Two Pelargonium 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) synthase cDNAs (GAC-1 and GAC-2) were identified and characterized [1].
• Effect of pollination and exogenous ethylene on accumulation of ETR1 homologue transcripts during flower petal abscission in geranium (Pelargonium x hortorum L.H. Bailey) [2].
• Effect of pollination on accumulation of ACC synthase and ACC oxidase transcripts, ethylene production and flower petal abscission in geranium (Pelargonium x hortorum L.H. Bailey) [3].
• Thidiazuron-induced morphogenetic response in petiole cultures of Pelargonium x hortorum and Pelargonium x domesticum and its histological analysis [4].

Biological context of Pelargonium

• Structure elucidation, enantioselective analysis, and biogenesis of nerol oxide in Pelargonium species [5].
• The possibility of inducing somatic embryogenesis in petiole cultures of two cultivars of Pelargonium x hortorum and of one cultivar of Pelargonium x domesticum using thidiazuron (TDZ) was investigated [4].

Anatomical context of Pelargonium

• Chrysin and other leaf exudate flavonoids in the genus Pelargonium [6].

Associations of Pelargonium with chemical compounds

• A 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate oxidase cDNA sequence from Pelargonium [7].
• Expression of GAC-1 and GAC-2 together with a previously identified ACC oxidase (GEFE-1) was examined in different Pelargonium plant parts, and leaves were subjected to osmotic stress (sorbitol), metal ion stress (CuCl2), auxin (2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid [2,4-D]), and ethylene [1].
• Deuterium-labeled citronellyl diphosphate and citronellyl beta-D-glucoside were fed to Pelargonium graveolens [8].
• The Pelargonium plants were able to convert the fed precursor into racemic nerol oxide, which has to be considered as a "natural racemate" [5].
• The scented leaves of a number of Pelargonium (Geraniaceae) species and cultivars were extracted using steam distillation, petroleum spirit and methanol [9].

Gene context of Pelargonium

• Antioxidant properties of phenolic compounds from Pelargonium reniforme [10].
• A strongly cationic isoperoxidase named PC3 was purified to homogeneity from scented-geranium (Pelargonium graveolens) callus by using DEAE-Sephacel chromatography, CM-cellulose chromatography and Sephacryl S-200 gel filtration, respectively [11].
• Characterization of geranium (Pelargonium graveolens) chloroplast EF-Tu cDNA [12].
• Pelargonidine, extracted from flowers of Pelargonium, reduced spontaneous activity of KATP channels and diminished their potentiation by DEB [13].
