Abstract:
... Chelated mineral supplements are a combination of minerals with amino acids (AAs), putatively more efficient as fertilizers, especially for enhancing nutrient absorption. This study aimed at investigating the efficacy of foliar-applied calcium (Ca) and its complex with tryptophan to improve the vegetative growth, biochemical attributes and nutritional value of salt stressed broccoli (Brassica oler ...
... The aim of this study was to evaluate the physiological and biochemical heat responses of grafted tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) seedlings and their changes during the post-stress recovery period. Heat-tolerant ‘Celebrity’ and heat-sensitive ‘Arkansas Traveler’ tomatoes were grafted onto a commercial ‘Maxifort’ rootstock, and transplants were grown in growth chambers for 14 days of heat treatmen ...

Abstract:
... Morphological traits are routinely used to characterize the banana varieties but are unable to precisely discriminate the closely resembling ones. Current study explores the five common banana varieties using 41 qualitative traits and discriminating traits are shortlisted based on uniformity within variety (zero Shannon index), differences between varieties (varying mode scores across varieties an ...

Abstract:
... Nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) are essential elements for algal growth. When N and P are deficient, dinoflagellates will take a series of measures to achieve population continuation including formation of resting cysts, an important ecological strategy of dinoflagellates that plays a key role in the initiation and termination of harmful algal blooms (HABs). How the deficiency of N and P affects a ...

Abstract:
... Emergence time and population density both have important influences on plants, but their interactive effects have not been well understood, especially on plant reproduction in dynamic patterns. A field experiment was conducted by subjecting plants of Abutilon theophrasti Medicus (Malvaceae) to four treatments of sowing dates (emergence periods, ET₁–ET₄) and three treatments of (low, medium and hi ...

Abstract:
... The present experiment was conducted to assess the ability of the cutting of 18 pomegranate cultivars, 10 of which are local types and the other 8 are exotic varieties. The experiment was carried out in the controlled greenhouse, using two types of cuttings, semi-hardwood and hardwood and 4 IBA treatments (0, 1000, 2000 and 3000 mg L⁻¹). The measurements concerned biometric parameters of the roots ...
vegetativegrowth, etc ; Arabidopsis; biotechnology; cold stress; epigenetics; loci; spring; vernalization; winter; Show all 9 Subjects
Abstract:
... Plants have established highly sensitive systems to sense environmental cues and optimize their development accordingly. Long-term cold exposure in winter elicits flowering in many biennial and perennial plants, which is termed vernalization. Vernalized plants transition from the vegetative stage in winter to the reproductive stage in the subsequent spring season. In terms of molecular mechanisms, ...

Abstract:
... Flush shoot growth presents a fluctuation pattern alternating with root growth. The cyclic pattern determines the balance of root:shoot and can affect the direction and speed of carbohydrate translocation during the vegetative growth period. In this study, we used water deficit to limit corresponding growth in sweet orange (Citrus x sinensis) “OLL 4” grafted on “US‐942” rootstock, and then observe ...

Abstract:
... This study was aimed to isolate bacterial endophytes from Barleria lupulina and to assess their plant growth-promoting activities. A total of fourteen endophytic bacterial isolates (BLS01–BLS14) were screened from the stem of B. lupulina and characterized based on morphology, biochemical reaction, and plant growth-promoting attributes, such as the production of IAA, siderophore, and phosphate solu ...

Abstract:
... Water and fertilizer supply can affect the processes of assimilate production (source) and assimilate accumulation (sink), thereby causing differences in potato yield. However, little is known about the coupling effects of irrigation amount and potassium rate on potato tuber yield and its potential source-sink relationships. The objective of this study was to quantify how water and potassium suppl ...

Abstract:
... Adjusting yearly pruning severity is a common vineyard management practice employed to manipulate vegetative and reproductive growth in grapevines. Although the effects of pruning on total vegetative growth are well documented, there is little research on the effects of adjusting shoots meter⁻¹ via dormant season pruning on addressing mid-cordon shoot weakness and developmental delays. Cordon-trai ...

Abstract:
... Garlic is usually propagated asexually from the cloves. Clove as the propagation source for garlic has many weaknesses. Alternatively, bulbils could be used for the propagation. The aim of this study was to know the effect of temperature and time of vernalization from several clones of Indonesian garlic to bulbil production. This research was conducted at a farmer’s field at Banjarnegara, Central ...

Abstract:
... Soil salinity represents one of the most restrictive environmental factors for agriculture worldwide. In the present study, the salt tolerance of two weeds of the genus Amaranthus, A. albus and A. hybridus, the latter cultivated as green vegetable in Africa, were analysed. Both species showed a remarkable salt tolerance phenotype during germination and vegetative growth. To evaluate the percentage ...

Abstract:
... Theory predicts the existence of a negative, reciprocal relationship between reproduction and vegetative growth. However, research and supporting data have focused on small, herbaceous plants growing in temperate environments. To test the underlying theory in a completely different environment, nine years of stem-specific data for a large, stem-succulent desert shrub explored the relationship betw ...
