The study was carried out to validate the effect of different flush induction protocol on carabao mango which conducted in Alion, Mariveles, Bataan, Philippines with following treatments: no intervention (T1), pruning only (T2), urea applied soil (T3), spray (T4), irrigation (T5), and complete (T6). Results revealed that providing water hasten mango. (T6) significantly had highest flushing perc...

Different plant species have different levels and locations of silicon accumulation in their tissues, and may or may not have silica bodies. Grasses usually accumulate these bodies, which may have different shapes depending on the genotype. Besides, this element can be beneficial to crops. The present study aimed to examine the forms and locations of silicon accumulation, as well as silicon con...

Only two species of tobacco, Nicotiana tabacum L. and N. rustica L., have found an important place in cultivation for chewing or smoking purposes. N, rustica is now of little importance in agriculture, having been supplanted by AT', tabacum except in parts of Poland, Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, Asia Minor, and India. In both of these species the fundamental arrangement of the leaves al...

Active gibberellin (GA(1)) is an important mediator of thermoperiodic growth in pea. Plants grown under lower day than night temperature (negative DIF) elongate less and have reduced levels of GA(1) compared with plants grown at higher day than night temperature (positive DIF). By comparing the wild type (WT) and the elongated DELLA mutant la cry(s), this study has examined the effect of impair...

McMaster, G.S., Klepper, B., Rickman, R.W., Wilhelm, W.W. and Willis, W.O., 1991. Simulation of shoot vegetative development and growth of unstressed winter wheat. Ecol. Modelling, 53: 189-204. Mechanistic crop simulation models can aid in directing research and improving farm management. Recent research on winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) canopy development was consolidated into a model of ...

Fifteen, 1-year-old Populus maximowiczii Henry x P. nigra L. 'MN9' trees were decapitated and allowed to sprout. After 8 weeks, all had 6 to 10 coppice shoots. All shoots, except the tallest (dominant) shoot, were removed from five of the trees (pruned treatment), and shoot growth, gas exchange and carbohydrate status were compared in the pruned and unpruned trees. Although photosynthetic rate ...

BACKGROUND Biomass recalcitrance is affected by a number of chemical, physical and biological factors. In this study we looked into the differences in recalcitrance between two major anatomical fractions of wheat straw biomass, leaf and stem. A set of twenty-one wheat cultivars was fractionated and illustrated the substantial variation in leaf-to-stem ratio between cultivars. The two fractions ...

Citrus greening reduces fruit production and quality and will likely result in rapid tree decline and death. Because citrus greening symptoms are usually observed on the leaf surface, detection of citrus greening leaf symptoms can significantly aid in scouting for infected trees and managing the disease, thus reducing its spread and minimizing losses for citrus growers. This article presents th...

Mature potato (Solanum tuberosum L. cv. Kennebec) canopies are composed of leaves originating frommainand axillary-stem branches. Canopy leaf distribution and its corresponding contribution to wholecanopy photosynthetic rates have not been quantified. An experiment using SPAR (Soil–Plant–Atmosphere–Research) chambers maintained at 16-h day/night thermoperiods of 14/10, 17/12, 20/15, 23/18, 28/2...
