BACKGROUND AND AIMS When examining the growth patterns of rice crops for a 5-year period, it was found that the time course of accumulation of above-ground dry matter did not follow a simple sigmoid curve as expected for a monocarpic plant. Instead, there was a decrease in growth around flowering, followed by an increase and then a final decrease of growth at crop maturity. There are two nearly...

range forage of vicia variabilis, astragalus spp., medicago sativa, prangos uloptera and sanguisorba minor was sampled during three phenological stages from the controlled rangeland stations in chaharmahal and bakhtiari province, iran. samples were analyzed for the determination of crude protein (cp%), ether extract (ee), crude fiber (cf), total ash, neutral detergent fiber (ndf), acid detergen...

Thymus hyemalis L. and Spanish Thymus vulgaris L. shrubs are characterized by a large chemical intraspecific variability among he plants. This fact makes it difficult to detect real changes occurring in their essential oil composition during the vegetative cycle. ased on this, the clones of T. hyemalis and Spanish T. vulgaris were used in this present work to monitor seasonal variations in the ...

Inflorescence development of the 'Hass' avocado (Persea americana Mill.) was investigated at the macro and microscopic level. Near the end of shoot extension, two secondary axis meristems were present in the axils of inflorescence bracts. The primary axis meristem changed shape from conical to flattened to conical followed by the initiation of additional bracts and associated secondary axis inf...

rangelands have been composed of different plant species that emergence of phenological stages in every one of them will be influenced by environmental and genetic factors. in order to exploit the time and achieve acceptable performance in each plant species, it is necessary that the emergence of biological phenomena are recorded and studied. the objective of the present study is to survey the ...

 Childhood a sensitive period development many neurophysiological and physiological functions. In activity brain can be considered as an indicator general prope...

The clonal age in paramecia refers to the total number of vegetative divisions a clone has undergone since its origin at autogamy (self-fertilization). As clonal age increases, the interfission time usually increases. The DNA synthesis pattern of cells of different ages was compared by autoradiographic analysis of the DNA synthesis of synchronized cells at various time intervals during the cell...

Ailanthus altissima and Robina pseudoacacia are two successful invasive species of floodplains in central Spain. We aim to explain their success as invaders in this habitat by exploring their phenological pattern, vegetative and sexual reproductive growth, and allometric relations, comparing them with those of the dominant native tree Populus alba. During a full annual cycle we follow the timin...
