Abstract How functional genetics research can be applied to improving crop yields is a timely challenge. One of the most direct methods produce larger inflorescences with higher productivity, which should accompanied by balance between stem cell proliferation and lateral organ initiation in meristems. Unbalanced cells causes fasciated inflorescences, reflect abnormal meristems, derived from Lat...

The factors shaping endophytic fungal assemblages in reproductive organs have been less evaluated than vegetative organs. Here, the temporal dynamics of endophytes inflorescences and fruits olive tree cultivars with contrasting anthracnose susceptibilities was assessed, starting before flowers open until fruit ripening. Fungal diversity assessed by rRNA sequencing cultivable isolates revealed a...

the present research was carried out under hydroponic culture to evaluate the interaction between salicylic acid (sa), nickel (ni) on vegetative and reproductive growth of strawberry plants as a factorial experiment in a completely randomized design. well-rooted daughter plants of pajaro cultivar, were potted in 3 l plastic pots and were sprayed with sa at concentrations of 0, 1, 2 and 3 mm and...
