1. "Directed honeybees": A preliminary investigation of an innovative solution for passionfruit pollination in Israel

Author:
Gad Ish-Am
Source:
Israel journal of plant sciences 2009 v.57 no.3 pp. 243-251
ISSN:
0792-9978
Subject:
cultivars; pollination; fruits; honey bees; fruit set; flowers; Bombus; passion fruits; pollen; Israel
Abstract:
... Honeybees are the only pollinator of the Israeli passionfruit cultivar ‘Passion Dream’. The big flower opens in the morning with its three stigmas standing erect, far from the five stamens. Honeybees visit a flower at this stage, usually collect all the pollen, and perform poor pollination. At noon, when the stigmas have bent over and lie closer to the anthers, the bees ignore these flowers. Hand ...

haplotypes; animal pathogenic bacteria; Brucella melitensis; genetic techniques and protocols; microbial genetics
Abstract:
... We demonstrate that the "HOOF-Print" assay provides high power to discriminate among Brucella isolates collected on a small spatial scale (within Portugal). Additionally, we illustrate how haplotype identification using non-random association among markers allows resolution of B. melitensis biovars (1 and 3). We recommend that future studies use haplotype identification when analyzing multilocus p ...

Cationic substitutionally inert cyclometalated ruthenium (II) and osmium (II) complexes, ([Mt(o-C₆H₄-2-py)(LL)₂]PF₆), where LL-1,10-phenanthroline (phen) or 2,2'-bipyridine (bipy), were used for radical polymerization of styrene. Gradual modification of the complexes within the series allowed comparison of the catalytic activity and the redox properties. There was no correlation between the reduci ...

Abstract:
... Genetic data has become an essential part of ecological studies, because the analyses of diversity within and among natural populations may grant access to previously overlooked ecological and evolutionary causalities, especially among cryptic species. Here, we present an example of how phylogenetic analysis of molecular data obtained within a DNA barcoding study, in combination with morphological ...

Abstract:
... The “emulation of natural disturbance” (END) is an ambiguous forest management approach that embodies an environmental ethic of “following nature” and the values associated with the nature/culture dichotomy. Given climate change projections, the emulation of natural disturbance or any approach that commits itself to reproducing a snapshot of the past history and evolution of forests may not be app ...

Abstract:
... Darwin's research on botany and plant physiology was a landmark attempt to integrate plant movements into a biological perspective of behavior. Since antiquity, people have sought to explain plant movements via mechanical or physiological forces, and yet they also constructed analogies between plant and animal behavior. During the Renaissance and Enlightenment, thinkers began to see that physioche ...
