Strigolactones are germination stimulants for seeds of the root parasitic weeds, Striga and Orobanche spp. The imino analog of GR24 showed moderate germination stimulating activity against the seeds of S. hermonthica. The seed germination stimulating activity of some phenyliminoacetates and phenyliminoacetonitriles was also examined. The degree of activity of the phenyliminoacetate was less tha...

cold tolerance is an adaptative mechanism that plants in temperate climates require to survive and grow in suboptimal temperatures.  exposed plant to low temperature produces a myriad of measurable changes in biochemical characters that are often highly correlated with plant cold tolerance.  a key element of cereal adaptation to cold is represented by the capacity for physiological adjustments ...

The map and the model designed by a designer and presented to a manufacturer in the form of a map is the result of his knowledge and innovation. The manufacturer, in turn, uses his best effort to produce a part accordingly. However, because of production problems and raw material, producing a precise part is very difficult and costly. One of the most important problems in this regard is designi...
