In Citrus, flower induction represents the transition from vegetative to reproductive growth. The regulation of is mainly triggered by exposure low temperatures and water-deficit stress, which activates signaling cascade leading an increased expression citrus orthologs FLOWERING LOCUS T (CiFT). this study, relationship between rootstock under Mediterranean field conditions was investigated moni...

Papaya (Carica papaya) cultivars commonly grown in Malaysia, namely Sekaki and Eksotika, are very susceptible to papaya dieback disease (PDD), resulting reduced production of papayas. As an alternative, grafted seedling using Viorica variety as a highly tolerant rootstock can be introduced combat PDD. Three grafting combinations scion/rootstock were used this study Eksotika/Eksotika (E/E), Ekso...

to determine the droplet characteristics of agricultural spray nozzles through water sensitive paper (wsp), the non-circular and overlapped spots appearing on the water sensitive paper surfaces are eliminated. in the conventional approach, the procedure is done according to the subjective self determined estimation of the operator. the objective of this study was to develop a practical alternat...

Skin wound healing especially when it occurs on the face or somewhere important for cosmetic reasons, is very significant physiological procedure. It is quite obvious that promoting this healing is important too. In this study we tried to compare the effects of Achillea millefolium and Zinc oxide on secondary intentioned open-wound healing in rats. Zinc oxide is being used worldwide as an absor...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Previous studies indicate that the size-controlling capacity of peach rootstocks is associated with reductions of scion water potential during mid-day that are caused by the reduced hydraulic conductance of the rootstock. Thus, shoot growth appears to be reduced by decreases in stem water potential. The aim of this study was to investigate the mechanism of reduced hydraulic ...

The local flow environment affects the shape of waterborne chemical signals through a variety of physical mechanisms and at several scales. Since crayfish rely on these chemical signals to extract information about predators, prey, and mates, one might expect the chemical sensors (aesthetascs) on crayfish antennules to be physically tuned to the presentation of chemical cues by the flow environ...
