Alstroemeria is one of the most popular cut flowers in European Union owing to its postharvest longevity and broad color spectra. Nevertheless, premature wilting decreases the aesthetic value of flowering branches even before the opening of the secondary florets in the fluorescence. The present study evaluated different biochemical and morphological traits of Alstroemeria cut ...

In order to investigate the cause of wilting symptoms in red pepper field Korea, frequency occurrence peppers showing was investigated cultivation fields Goesan, Chungcheongbuk-do for 5 years from 2010 2014. There a difference depending on year investigation, but increased as investigation period passed June and July August. During this period, Ralstonia solanacearum causing bacterial wilt isol...

The design and operation of supplementary irrigation schemes are dependent upon an accurate estimation of the "total available moisture" in the soil. This has been defined as the amount of water held between the limits of field capacity and wilting point in the effective rooting depth of the crop. Under irrigated conditions the effective rooting depth is that depth of soil from which the crop c...

This paper proposes a method for animating leaf structural deformation considering the leaf water content and its change due to evaporation. To achieve this we embed a massspring system into a mesh representing the leaf, and couple the mass-spring parameters with a simulation representing the fluid flow and evaporation occurring in the leaf. This chain of events aims to simulate the natural pro...

Cycloheximide was shown to block abscisic acid (ABA) biosynthesis in nonstressed as well as in stressed Phaseolus vulgaris leaves. Leaf wilting caused by cycloheximide resulted from increased stomatal opening as judged by a decreased stomatal diffusion resistance. The inhibition of ABA biosynthesis by cycloheximide was at least partially responsible for the increase in stomatal opening as sugge...

Fusarium wilt of zucchini in Jeonju, Korea, was first noticed in May 2013. Symptoms included wilting of the foliage, drying and withering of older leaves, and stunting of plants. Infected plants eventually died during growth. Based on morphological characteristics and phylogenetic analyses of the molecular markers (internal transcribed spacer rDNA and translation elongation factor 1α), the fung...

Pathology challenges Turf nematodes are worm-like animals that are less than one-eighth of an inch long. Because they can't be seen by eye or hand lens, live hidden in the soil and cause no specific symptoms in turfgrasses, nematode damage goes unnoticed or is explained away to other problems, such as poor fertility, soil compaction, watering or diseases. The first symptom of nematode damage is...

Jerusalem artichoke is a staple for the raw material base of healthy food, beverages, feed, medicine, and fuel, in addition to being source its herbage tubers. The choice conditions cultivating variety depends on purpose or direction crop products obtained from it. This research involved laboratory on-farm studies 16 varieties different maturity groups cultivated sod-podzolic sandy loam soils d...
