abstract

hazelnuts are usually propagated by suckers or layering. however, other methods of propagation have been tested with variable results. grafting is a method that has a few advantages such as fast multiplication rate, earlier fruiting and reducing sucker removal cost on specific rootstocks. unfortunately, grafting is difficult due to slow formation of callus in hazelnuts. here, we report the hypocotyl cleft graft as a simple method to increase the success rate of hazelnut grafting when the scion is coated with a thin layer of paraffin (wax). two treatments, hypocotyls cleft grafting without paraffin and with paraffin, have been tested. hazelnut variety carmela (corylus avellana) has been grafted on etiolated hypocotyls of native hazelnuts (c. americana). uncoated scions had a 9% success rate, while the success rate increased nine times and was 85% when the scion was coated with a thin layer of paraffin right after grafting. this method is suggested for other nut trees such as persian walnut, which are hard to graft.

A Simple Method to Improve Autonomous GPS Positioning for Tractors

Error is always present in the GPS guidance of a tractor along a desired trajectory. One way to reduce GPS guidance error is by improving the tractor positioning. The most commonly used ways to do this are either by employing more precise GPS receivers and differential corrections or by employing GPS together with some other local positioning systems such as electronic compasses or Inertial Nav...

A simple method to improve the stability of docetaxel micelles

Self-assembled polymeric micelles have been widely applied in drug delivery systems. In this study, we found that pH value of micellar system solution was the decisive factor of physical stability. Furthermore, the weak basic solution could maintain the solution clarification for a relative long time. To investigate the stability of polymeric micelles in different pH solutions, the micellar par...

a simple and efficient method to improve mechanical properties of collagen scaffolds by uv irradiation

collagen is the major protein component of cartilage, bone, skin and connective tissue and constitutes the major part of the extracellular matrix. collagen type i has complex structural hierarchy, which consists of treepolypeptide α-chains wound together in a rod-like helical structure. collagen is an important biomaterial, finding many applications in the field of tissue engineering. it has be...

Soft tissue grafting to improve implant esthetics

Dental implants are becoming the treatment of choice to replace missing teeth, especially if the adjacent teeth are free of restorations. When minimal bone width is present, implant placement becomes a challenge and often resulting in recession and dehiscence around the implant that leads to subsequent gingival recession. To correct such defect, the author turned to soft tissue autografting and...
