Abstract:
... Clematis species are perennial woody or herbaceous vines that are popular medicinal and ornamental horticultural plants. The seeds of six species were collected from five sites, and their germination characteristics and dormancy types were investigated. Seeds of all species had a typical achene morphology of a seed pod with a tail. Small, rudimentary embryos (0.14 to 0.29 E:S ratio) were observed, ...
... Lettuce (Lactuca sativa) is an important horticultural commodity all over the world, and its growth can be affected by root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne spp.). To keep track of plant behaviors, growers are using new technologies. In this paper, aerial images were obtained using a low-cost unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) to gather crop information in a short time giving acceptable accuracy for decisio ...
... Biogenic amines (BAs) are nitrogen compounds commonly found in wine and some of them are commonly associated with poor sanitary conditions of the grapes. The main BAs of the wine are histamine, tyramine, putrescine, cadaverine, spermine and spermidine. They can be associated with toxic effects in humans and many secondary BAs are believed to be cancerogenic compounds. To assure high levels of food ...
... Dopamine is a naturally occurring amine in plants and animals, having a strong antioxidative capacity. Different abiotic stressors, such as drought, salinity, and nutrient deficiency induce endogenous dopamine biosynthesis, while exogenous dopamine application confers tolerance to abiotic stress. Plants benefit from exogenous dopamine to promote photosynthetic pigment concentrations, stomatal cond ...
... For the first time in Russia, N. I. Vavilov All-Russian Institute of Plant Genetic Resources (VIR) has initiated and is working on the creation of nomenclatural standards of domestic cultivars. The nomenclatural standard confirms the originality of the cultivar and protects the copyright of its creators. The article presents the nomenclatural standards of 8 black currant (Ribes nigrum L.) varietie ...

Abstract:
... To solve the high damage rate in the seedling transplantation of horticultural facilities, a low-damage transplanting method of leafy vegetable seedlings based on machine vision and image processing was proposed. An Intel Realsense D415 camera was used to obtain the side image of single-row seedlings. Then, image processing based on Python-Opencv was performed to obtain the seedlings’ height and e ...

Abstract:
... Courses are the main source of data analysis training for students. The statistical software training taught in those courses can affect student career readiness. However, lack of information about statistical software use in horticulture leads students and mentors to select statistics courses based on course availability and/or anecdotal evaluations. This research aimed to describe statistical so ...

Abstract:
... The present investigation was carried out for the rapid clonal mass multiplication of disease free plants of jackfruit cv. Pant Garima. The nodal explants were collected in winter season proved to be the best with regard to maximum survival of explants. The effect of sterilants (HgCl₂ and ethanol) in various combinations was also assessed on survival percentage of explants. The MS medium was suppl ...

Abstract:
... The present investigation was carried out on banana cv. Grand Naine, trated with nine chemical treatments viz., control (T₁), GA₃@ 10 ppm (T₂), GA₃@ 20 ppm (T₃), GA₃@ 30 ppm (T₄), BA @ 2.5 ppm (T₅), BA @ 5.0 ppm (T₆), NOVEL⁺ @ 0.5% (T₇), NOVEL⁺ @ 1.0% (T₈), NOVEL⁺ @ 1.5% (T₉), applied through injection at the time of bell emergence. The results revealed that the injection of GA₃ @ 30 ppm (T₄) tend ...
... Berberis thunbergii L. (Japanese barberry) holds significant market share in the commercial ornamental horticulture industry. Japanese barberry is grown by production nurseries and used in landscaping across the northern half of the United States. In 2009, the barberry crop was worth nearly $30.5 million in annual sales in the United States, making it one of the top two ornamental shrubs, roses ex ...

Abstract:
... Asarum sieboldii f. maculatum (Nakai) Yamaji is a low growing, deciduous rhizomatous herb endemic to South Korea. It is illustrated here with a painting, a line drawing and a photograph in the wild; its introduction, horticultural merits and cultivation are discussed. Recent research has shown that the plain‐leaved A. sieboldii Miq. and A. maculatum Nakai are conspecific, and the rank of forma has ...

Abstract:
... This article argues that many low‐wage migrants moving to work in rural areas of the developed world end up in very specific and precarious employment and housing contexts: working in temporary/seasonal jobs within horticultural labour markets and often living in employer‐provided tied accommodation. This context—which we profile by drawing on qualitative case study evidence from Norway, the UK an ...

Abstract:
... Above-ground plant architecture is dictated to a large extent by the fates and growth rates of aerial plant meristems. Shoot apical meristem gives rise to the fundamental plant form by generating new leaves. However, the fates of axillary meristems located in leaf axils have a great influence on plant architecture and affect the harvest index, yield potential and cultural practices. Improving plan ...
