In flowering plants, the arrangement of flowers on a stem becomes an inflorescence, and a huge variety of inflorescence architecture occurs in nature. Inflorescence architecture also affects crop yield. In simple inflorescences, flowers form on a main stem; by contrast, in compound inflorescences, flowers form on branched stems and the branching pattern defines the architecture of the infloresc...

In the post-genomic era much effort has been put on the discovery of gene function using functional genomics. Despite the advances achieved by these technologies in the understanding of gene function at the genomic and proteomic level, there is still a big genotype-phenotype gap. Metabolic profiling has been used to analyze organisms that have already been characterized genetically. However, th...

Oil palm and its pollinators are native to Africa. Notwithstanding, it has been extensively cultivated outside range, so also acquired introduced. A concern, however is that most documentation on oil non-indigenous, with little information of African origin commenting their activities in Thus, a study the insect was carried out two fruit forms: Dura Tenera , (ages ten seven, respectively), Ghan...

The high yield of grafted grape seedlings and their quality depend on many factors, including the grafting rootstock components, which is also determined by proper care parent vines. Their agricultural techniques should be aimed at better growth maturation shoots. technological technique breaking off shoots mandatory vines, partial removal inflorescences not so common in agrotechnics but it has...
