Abstract:
... Factors affecting productivity in peach, such as flower density, initial and final fruit set by open pollination, and yield per m length of shoot were studied in 40 cultivars during a three-year period. Significant differences among cultivars were found for all studied properties. The coefficients of variability were the lowest for initial fruit set and then for final fruit set and flower density; ...

Abstract:
... The 15N natural abundance technique is one of those most easily applied ‘on farm’ to evaluate the contribution of biological N2 fixation (BNF) to legume crops. When proportional BNF inputs are high, the accuracy of this technique is highly dependent on an accurate estimate of the 15N abundance of the N derived from N2 fixation (the ‘B’ value). The objective of this study was to determine the influ ...

Abstract:
... The plant hormone ethylene has been reported to inhibit the Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation efficiency of many plants. In this study, an acdS gene that encodes 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) deaminase, an enzyme that breaks down ACC, the direct precursor of ethylene biosynthesis in all higher plants, was introduced into A. tumefaciens GV3101:pMP90. It was found that ...

Abstract:
... Flesh texture is an important quality trait in peach, affecting both fruit firmness and the ripening process. An interesting variation, “slow ripening” (SR), described in some progeny from ‘Fantasia’ nectarine, interferes with the completion of ripening. In these plants, fruit development appears to cease before the end of the cell expansion phase. The SR process was studied at the genetic level u ...

Abstract:
... BACKGROUND: One promising area of rice disease management is the potential of exploiting biological control agents. Rice seedling rot disease caused by soil-borne pathogenic fungi has become a dominant disease problem because of greater use of direct seeding. Rice hull has been potentially used to control paddy weeds, but little information is available on rice disease. This study was conducted to ...

Octoploid amphiploid (2n = 8x = 56; AABBDDRR) was synthesized by hybridization of Jingzhouheimai with hexaploid wheat landrace Huixianhong and doubling of the F1 chromosome number. This amphiploid was backcrossed to the wheat parent to prod ...

Abstract:
... The phosphate uptake potential was significantly stimulated with low concentration of salicylic acid (SA). In one of the wheat cultivars (Triticum aestivum Var. Sonalika), 50 μM SA stimulated phosphate (PO43−) uptake. At higher concentrations of SA (500 and 1000 μM), the rate of uptake was reduced. These findings underscore the light and dose-dependent biphasic action of SA: a low 50 μM stimulated ...
