The shapes of flowers and their organization into branching systems, called inflorescences, dictate much of plant diversity. Recent studies have identified key regulators in this diversity, revealing that the inflorescence architecture of Solanaceous species depends on sequential and temporal expression of the WUSCHEL-RELATED HOMEOBOX (WOX) gene EVERGREEN (EVG)/ COMPOUND INFLORESCENCE (S) and t...

Tomato is a major crop plant and several mutants have been selected for breeding but also for isolating important genes that regulate flowering and sympodial growth. Besides, current research in developmental biology aims at revealing mechanisms that account for diversity in inflorescence architectures. We therefore found timely to review the current knowledge of the genetic control of flowerin...

Both insufficient and excessive male inflorescence size leads to a reduction in maize yield. Knowledge of the genetic architecture of male inflorescence is essential to achieve the optimum inflorescence size for maize breeding. In this study, we used approximately eight thousand inbreds, including both linkage populations and association populations, to dissect the genetic architecture of male ...

This paper presents the results obtained by INMA Bucharest, following a research project, in which technology for harvesting and storing industrial hemp was developed. The equipment green stalks intended this tested an experimental plot grown with Dacia - Secuieni hemp. Operating indices (actual torque at power take-off, traction force drawbar, total effective to operate equipment, working spee...

A major aspect of postembryonic plant development is the formation of secondary axes of growth: vegetative branches, inflorescence branches, or flowers. The first step in side-shoot development is the establishment of lateral meristems in the axils of leaves. GRAS-, MYB-, and bHLH-type transcription factors act as key regulators of early steps in this process. The REVOLUTA subfamily of HD-ZIP t...

Optimal nutrient management is critical for optimizing flowering, yield, quality and improving soil health. A key approach making chrysanthemum crop cultivation profitable balanced fertigation at the right time. This possible by through drip. The present study was designed in 2019–2021 a model floriculture center, Pantnagar, to investigate response of split application NPK drip on flowering att...

to study the effect of plant density and planting pattern on iranian ox-tongue, an experiment carried out with two factors: planting pattern (square and rectangular pattern) and plant density (2, 4, 6, 8 plant m-2) in a factorial test performed based on rcbd in 3 replications during 2009-2010 in latmahalleh eshkevarat village in guilan province, iran. characteristics that measured included: dry...

Experiment on evaluation of mango genotypes under high density planting system was conducted in six varieties the same age group (5 years). The observation tree characters indicated that trunk circumference ranged from 20.51 cm (Prior) to 31.29 (Chandrakaran) and crown diameter 2.39 m (Ratna) 3.09 (Vellaikolumban). qualitative data morphological viz., tree, leaf, inflorescence, fruit, stone see...
