Enhancement of cold hardiness in apple trees by paclobutrazol, thidiazuron and flurprimidol

Cold Hardiness of Woody Plants

stresses caused by their freezing and thawing. A key difference between a hardy plant and a non-hardy plant is believed to be where the ice forms in freezing: inside the living cells or outside of them. If ice forms inside of cells, it is almost always fatal to them, and this is probably the principal cause of frost kill in non-hardy plants. Normally hardy tissue may be killed by moderate tempe...

Translocation of paclobutrazol, a gibberellin biosynthesis inhibitor, in apple seedlings.

The [(2RS,3RS)-1-(4-chlorophenyl)-4,4-dimethyl-2-(1,2,4-triazol-1- yl)-pentan-3-ol] (paclobutrazol, PP333) measured in apple seedlings (;York Imperial' Malus domestica Borkh) was confirmed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Data showed that paclobutrazol was taken up through roots and transported primarily in the xylem through the stems and accumulated in leaves. No detectable basipetal m...

Genetic and environmental influences on leaf phenology and cold hardiness of native and introduced riparian trees.

To explore the roles of plasticity and genetic variation in the response to spatial and temporal climate variation, we established a common garden consisting of paired collections of native and introduced riparian trees sampled along a latitudinal gradient. The garden in Fort Collins, Colorado (latitude 40.6°N), included 681 native plains cottonwood (Populus deltoides subsp. monilifera) and int...

pragmatic transfer in compliment responses and chastisements by iranian learners of english

فرهنگ های گوناگون دریافت ها و تعبیر های مختلفی از تناسب و ادب دارند. بنابراین، ارتباط میان فرهنگی خطرات ذاتی خطای ارتباطی را نشان می دهد. این پژوهش به منظور تعیین وقوع انتقال منظورشناختی زبان در زبان بینابینی زبان آموزان ایرانی، اختلاف منظورشناختی زبان را بین فارسی و انگلیسی در کنش های کلامی پاسخ تحسین و انتقاد بررسی می کند.داده ها از میان 33 آمریکایی انگلیسی زبان، 85 زبان آموز ایرانی در سطوح م...
