abstract tuberose is one of the most important cut flowers in iran and the world. in this experiment, effect of microelements fe, zn, cu and mn on inflorescence length, inflorescence bunch length, number and diameter of floret, diameter of inflorescence bunch and vase life of tuberose flowers were studied. this study was based on four separate completely randomized experimental design with four...

Although adenosine monophosphate (AMP) binding domain is widely distributed in multiple plant species, detailed molecular functions of AMP binding proteins (AMPBPs) in plant development and plant-pathogen interaction remain unclear. In the present study, we identified an AMPBP OsAAE3 from a previous analysis of early responsive genes in rice during Magnaporthe oryzae infection. OsAAE3 is a homo...

Opportunities exist for replacing reduced height (Rht) genes Rht-B1b and Rht-D1b with alternative dwarfing genes, such as the gibberellin-responsive gene Rht12, for bread wheat improvement. However, a comprehensive understanding of the effects and mode of action of Rht12 is lacking. In the present study, the effects of Rht12 were characterized by analyzing its effects on seeding vigour, seedlin...

Peduncle saddle pack tag A padded harness will fit around the tail stock of the whale at the narrowest portion of the peduncle just before the fluke insertion point. To deploy the belt, a cantilevered pole mounted on the bow of a small inflatable will drop a spring loaded armature on the caudal terminus of the whale (Figure 1). Once triggered, the armature’s sickle shaped arms will close, latch...

Species of the genus Chirothrips Haliday breed and pupate only within grass florets. Each larva is restricted to a single floret, and adult body size is thus presumably related to floret size. Despite this, some Chirothrips species are distinguished only on states that are related to body size. The validity of some commonly recorded members of the C. manicatus species-group, including C. africa...

The potential advantage of extreme value theory in modeling management phenomena is the central theme of this paper. The statistics of extremes have played only a very limited role in management studies despite the disproportionate emphasis on unusual events in the world of managers. An overview of this theory and related statistical models is presented, and illustrative empirical examples prov...

Elevated CO2 often increases grain yield in wheat by enhancing grain number per ear, which can result from an increase in the potential number of florets or a reduction in the death of developed florets. The hypotheses that elevated CO2 reduces floret death rather than increases floret development, and that grain size in a genotype with more grains per unit area is limited by the rate of grain ...

Given a text string T of lenght n and a pattern string P of lenght m over some alphabet Σ, we want to find the occurrences of P ′ from T such that P ′ can be derived from P by set of local swaps, i.e. transpositions of two adjacent characters, each character swapping at most once. We give several simple but fast algorithms for the problem. The first algorithm is based on Boyer–Moore–Horspool ap...

Congenital as arteriovenous malformation(AVM) is, most patients with AVM would be asymptomatic until adults. During the past 2 years, 23 cases of adult supratentorial AVM patients had DTI after admission. The region of interest was placed in the cerebral peduncle. Their FA value and fiber number was compared with those of cavernous malformation (CM) and tumor (glioma and meningioma). In the AVM...
