A comparison of controlled self-pollination and open pollination results based on maize grain quality

Partitioning into Maize Grain N Fractions of N Absorbed Through the Roots Before and After Pollination

The abundance of N in various fractions in maize (Zea mays L.) grain was compared in two genotypes, a normal hybrid (Pioneer 3369A) and its opnque-2 (0-2) counterpart (L3369). Plants were grown in the greenhouse in sand cultures irrigated daily with nutrient solutions containing 3.75 mM N as NO, ion. At anthesis the plant cultures were divided into sets, one set continuing to be irrigated with ...

Beyond Swarm Intelligence: Building Self-Managing Systems Based on Pollination

Nature exhibits a fruitful inspiration source for building self-managing systems. The human body’s autonomous nervous system, its reflex and healing system, or its immune system inspired the building of self-managing systems in the same way as biological systems as ant, termite, or bee colonies. Thereby, self-managing systems based on such biological, self-organizing systems mostly rely on Swar...

Pollination and Fruit Set: Pollination Requirement

Considerable infonnation has been developed on floral induction and the flowering process in Citrus in the papers which precede this one. Flower induction is a prerequisite to fruit production, so it is very important to have a clear understanding ofthe process. However, simply producing large numbers offlowers does not necessarily guarantee a subsequent large crop of fruit to harvest when they...
