By rooting behavior in ideas, and ideas in the brain, Hebb laid the groundwork for modern neuroscience. His theory prefigured computer models of neural networks.

abstract- a detailed understanding of crop rooting systems will facilitate water use reduction, optimized nutrient uptake and irrigation scheduling more efficiently. a field experiment was conducted during 2005-2006 to investigate sugar beet rooting depth growth, irrigated with three irrigation methods (subsurface drip, surface drip and furrow) and two water qualities (recycled wastewater: ec= ...

an efficient and cost effective protocol for in vitro propagation of pineapple (ananas comosus var. queen) has been developed. in the proliferation stage, agar based murashige and skoog (ms) media was supplemented with 3.0 mg/l benzyleaminopurine (bap), 0.5 mg/l indole acetic acid (iaa) and 50 mg/l adenine sulphate as rbc design experiment. two approaches were taken to reduce the chemical cost ...

Single-node leafy stem cuttings of Shorea leprosula Miq. were subjected to a high, intermediate or low irradiance treatment for 16 weeks in an enclosed mist propagation system. Before rooting, maximum photosynthesis of the cuttings occurred at an irradiance of 400 micro mol m(-2) s(-1). Although none of the irradiance treatments affected the number of roots produced per cutting, the numbers of ...

abstract this experiment was conducted for optimizing a suitable medium for callus induction, regeneration and rooting of anthurium. leaf and petiol explants of antadra and casino varieties were used for callus production. ms medium was supplied with growth regulators (naa, ba, kin and iba). a complete randomized design with 3 replication was used in this expriment. result indicates that variet...

abstract an investigation was accomplished during 2007 and 2008 to test effect of hormonal treatment and cutting position on rooting of sebri , shekari and natanz cultivars of pear (pyrus pyrifolia.) the experimental design was a two way factorial in a completely randomized method and with pgr5 treatment (iba and iba with naa in four levels in the first year and four higher levels of iba in sec...

There is convincing evidence for the benefits of deep rooting, especially in relation to drought resistance (Lopes & Reynolds, 2010; Uga et al., 2013). Modelling has shown that greater root depth allows increased water uptake and higher yields (Lilley & Kirkegaard, 2011). Deep rooting is thought to be improved by combinations of traits that confer steeper growth and an ability to penetrate stro...

EFFECTS OF CARBON DIOXIDE ENRICHMENT AND IRRADIANCE ON EX VITRO ROOTING, ACCLIMATIZATION AND SUBSEQUENT GROWTH OF MICROPROPAGATED APPLE AND BLUEBERRY. Marvin Pritts and Dorcas Isuta*, Cornell University, Fruit and Vegetable Science Department. 134A Plant Science Building, Ithaca, NY 14850 Previous findings reveal that rooting and acclimatization of apple and blueberry plants is often difficult ...
