Temperature effects on growth, colony development and carbon partitioning in three Phaeocystis species

Allelopathic Effects of Phaeocystis Species

Phytoplankton have been shown to compete for light and nutrients through different physiological and biochemical adaptations, such as, variation in surface area to volume ratio, production of specific enzymes, different nutrient requirements, luxury uptake, pigment composition, photosynthetic capacity, mixotrophy and vertical migration. Algal proliferations with respect to competition are part ...

Temperature and elevation effects on plant growth, development, and seed production of two Lesquerella species

A potential new alternative oilseed crop from the genus Lesquerella is being domesticated for the southwestern United States and other arid climates of the world. This crop has seed oil rich in hydroxy fatty acids used to produce a variety of industrial, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical products. Many of the industrial products are replacements for non-degradable and non-renewable petroleum-based p...

Effect of lamp type and temperature on development, carbon partitioning and yield of soybean.

Soybeans grown in controlled environments are commonly taller than field-grown plants. In controlled environments, including liquid hydroponics, height of the dwarf cultivar "Hoyt" was reduced from 46 to 33 cm when plants were grown under metal halide lamps compared to high pressure sodium lamps at the same photosynthetic photon flux. Metal halide lamps reduced total biomass 14% but did not sig...

Trophic interactions among three elasmobranch species coexisting in the Oman Sea: implications for resource partitioning

In this study, trophic interactions were studied among three elasmobranches including Iago omanensis, Rhinobatos punctifer and Torpedo sinuspersici coexisting in the depth ranging from 50 to 100 meters in the Oman Sea (Sistan and Balochistan waters). A total of 238 specimens were collected using industrial bottom trawlers of ‘FERDOWS’ during spring and summer,2014 and their stomach contents wer...
