Aims: The aim of this work was to investigate the effect humic acid, applied at different concentrations and time intervals, on vegetative flowering characters Zinnia elegans.
 Study Design: experiment designed as a complete randomized design with three replications total nine treatments.
 Place Duration Study: conducted Department Horticulture, School Agriculture, Lovely Professional...

Relative water content may be accurately estimated using the ratio of tissue fresh weight to tissue turgid weight, termed here relative tissue weight. That relative water content and relative tissue weight are linearly related is demonstrated algebraically. The mean value of r(2) for grapevine (Vitis vinifera L. cv. Shiraz) leaf tissue over eight separate sampling occasions was 0.993. Similarly...

Various protocols have been developed and used for DNA extraction in grapevine. However, owing to the long duration of the isolation steps in previously developed protocols, researchers have preferred to use isolation kits for studies in recent years. In our study, the DNA yield and purity obtained using six methods--namely three DNA isolation protocols and three commercial DNA isolation kits--...

micropropagated plantlets derived from three different grape rootstock genotypes namely, dogridge (vitis champini), so4 (v. berlandieri×v. rupestris) and ari-h-144 (v. vinifera×v. labrusca) were subjected to randomly amplified polymorphic dna (rapd) and inter simple sequence repeats (issr) analyses in order to evaluate their genetic stability and/or detect likely existing variations among in vi...

abstract large-scale mortality of in vitro raisedplantlets occurred during acclimatization, i.e. glasshouse hardening, and later at field transfer still has remained as a significant bottleneck in micropropagation. the usefulness potential of some arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (amf) to minimize mortality rate of three commercial grape rootstock genotypes during glasshouse acclimatization was stu...

The globally distributed Chaetoceros elegans belongs to the lorenzianus (C. lorenzianus) complex and is characterized by having tear-shaped setae poroids. Several strains of C. were established from Chinese coastal waters. vegetative cells resting spores observed using light electron microscopy. Phylogenetic analyses two nuclear ribosomal RNA genes (SSU D1–D3 region LSU) internal transcribed sp...

A new species of Parthenocissus, P. wallichianus is described and illustrated from Kerala, India. This taxon was found collected previously India but misunderstood by earlier Indian botanists for names under various combinations among the such as Vitis, Cissus, Cayratia, Causonis. The were based either on Linnaean Vitis trifolia or Lamarck's Cissus carnosa. Both these are currently accepted con...

C. elegans egg laying behavior and the associated cellular functions can be stimulated on-demand using electrical pulses in a microchannel.
