Fossil fuel companies have made major investments in mobilizing citizen support recent decades, funding advocacy groups to stoke climate denial, doubt, and delay. Scholars activists tended condemn these “front groups” as corporate mouthpieces, calling for new laws mandating disclosure of the financial relationship between their political scions. Critiques like tap into vital impulses; however, ...

Although the blue light photoreceptors cryptochromes mediate expression of genes related to reactive oxygen species, whether cryptochrome 1a (cry1a) regulates local and long-distance signaling water deficit in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) is unknown. Thus cry1a mutant its wild-type (WT) were reciprocally grafted (WT/WT; cry1a/cry1a; WT/cry1a; cry1a/WT; as scion/rootstock) or grown on their ...

Organic heirloom tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum L.) are difficult to grow in Florida as a result of root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne spp.) (RKN) and hot, humid growing conditions. Although grafting with resistant rootstocks has been shown effective for RKN management in tomato production, little research has been conducted on grafted heirloom tomatoes under Florida conditions. In this 2-year st...

Summary Beet ringspot virus (BRSV) isolate IF came from a 1980 bait test on Scottish soil sample. Between 1982 and 1984, it was used to study possible BRSV seed transmission in potato ( Solanum tuberosum ). To encourage flowering, scions were graft-inoculated onto tomato plants these grafted inoculated with IF. Flowers BRSV-infected shoots self-pollinated their seeds collected. found readily po...

In recent years, the economic impact of grape and wine industry within Texas has significantly increased. The majority grapes grown in are produced High Plains American Viticultural Area (AVA). Vineyards this AVA subject to late spring frosts that may potentially reduce crop yields, lower fruit quality. Objectives experiment were compare growth fruitfulness shoots from primary secondary buds V....

In vitro micropropagation is already a current multiplication tool for walnut self-rooted cultivars and rootstocks, but grafting still performed in the field or greenhouses, mainly using seedlings as rootstocks. The present work describes new approach to obtain clonal walnut-grafted plants, involving shoot production of ‘Paradox’ (Juglans hindsi × Juglans regia) cl. ’Vlach’, be used rootstock, ...

In grafted apple combinations, rootstocks can increase the stress tolerance of plants, influence scion growth, and harbor a rich microbial community. However, whether scions modify plant rootstock phenotypes rhizosphere bacterial communities has not been clearly investigated. Here, 14 different combinations two cultivars on 7 genotypes were used as research materials, we analyzed traits, commun...

The report aims at improving knowledge of the interaction between poplar and heavy metals and at parsing the poplar ability to remove or render harmless such inorganic elements contained in residual slags of leatherindustries. Scions of Populus x euramericana, clone I-214, were grown outdoors, in pots, in inert soil, pruned for a single shoot and subjected to three treatments: non-amended (C), ...
