Phelipanche aegyptiaca is one of the most destructive root parasitic plants of Orobanchaceae. This plant has significant impacts on crop yields worldwide. Conditioned and host root stimulants, in particular, strigolactones, are needed for unique seed germination. However, no extensive study on this phenomenon has been conducted because of insufficient genomic information. Deep RNA sequencing, i...

ABSTRACT An essential factor for the formation of a native orchid seed bank is identification viability stored seeds. This study aimed to determine methodology optimizing tetrazolium test, in seeds two Orchidaceae medicinal species Brazilian Savanna. Seeds Miltonia flavescens Lindl. and Schomburgkia crispa were submitted three pre-conditioning conditions: no soaking (control), sucrose solution ...

In two experiments, we investigated the impact of odor preexposure treatments on the acquisition of an olfactory discrimination in dogs. In the first experiment, four groups of dogs were each given five days' odor-exposure treatment prior to discrimination training. Dogs in the exposure group were exposed to anise extract (S+) for 30 min daily. Dogs in the Pavlovian-relevant pairing group recei...

Pumice and the Moringa oleifera (MO) seed were investigated as alternative natural materials for drinking water treatment based on problems identified at the Stretta Vaudetto water treatment plant in Eritrea. Lab and pilot scale studies showed that pumice was a suitable alternative material for dual media filtration. Conversion of the sand filters at Stretta Vaudetto to pumice-sand media would ...

Genetic analysis of 12 lod conditioning morphological characteristics indicated several linkages in cowpea Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp). Using both backcross and F2 joint segregation data, these 12 lod were assigned to five linkage groups. The lod Pgfor nodal pigmentation, Pf for purple flower, Pc for smooth seed coat, Na for narrow eye, and Br for brown seed coat make up linkage group 1 with t...

The study pertained to environmentally-friendly methods in the cultivation of cereal, and aimed manage quality rye triticale seeds determine impact seed conditioning using effective microorganisms (EM), red light (RL), a combination two (RL × EM) on yield grain straw. Moreover, were sown into soil with without EM conditioning, designated as 0 PEM. fluctuations depended mostly studied cultivars....
