Excision of all leaves and buds of Coleus blumei Benth. plants reduced xylem cell and sieve tube regeneration a highly significant amount around a wound in internode number 5 when compared with regeneration in intact (wounded) plants. Application of indoleacetic acid (IAA-(14)C) to the cut surface of internode number 2 restores regenerative activity around the wound in internode number 5. Radio...

Lignin is one of the major characteristics of plant secondary cell wall that provides structural rigidity for the cells and tissues and hydrophobicity to tracheary elements. Internode tissues of Aeluropus littoralis as a halophyte grass were sampled at different developmental stages (from the first to the fifth internodes ) and under different NaCl concentrations. The influences of NaCl and int...

Abstract. This article establishes a system of anti-bud injury in sugarcane cutting based on computer vision using MATLAB software as a development platform. The seedcane cutter box cuts twice each turn. Match the accurate shutter trigger time interval according to the rotation speed of the cutter , the transportation speed of sugarcane, in order to make the position of collected image of the t...

Brief, low energy (approximately 400 Kerg cm(-2)) red light interruption of the early dark-growth period of Zea mays L. cv F-M Cross induced inhibition of first internode elongation which was maximal whenever light interruption occurred from 2.5 to 4 days of seedling age. Two-thirds of the maximal inhibition occurred in the tissues constituting the region 0 to 2 mm below the coleoptilar node at...

An incomplete diallel cross study comprising of seven bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars was carried out with parents and F1 progeny to determine heterosis, combining ability, gene action, and correlations for plant height and its components. The results showed that heterosis and heterobeltiosis occurred in plant height, spike length, peduncle length, length of the second internode fr...

Disturbance can fragment plant clones into different sizes and unstabilize soils to different degrees, so that clonal fragments of different sizes can be buried in soils at different depths. As a short-term storage organ, solon internode may help fragmented clones of stoloniferous plants to withstand deeper burial in soils. We address (1) whether burial in soils decreases survival and growth of...

Xyloglucan endotransglycosylase (XET) activity extractable from internodes of tall and dwarf varieties of pea (Pisum sativum L.) was assayed radiochemically using tamarind seed xyloglucan as donor substrate and an oligosaccharidyl-[3H]alditol as acceptor substrate. Internodes I and II showed little elongation during the period 15 to 21 d after sowing; XET activity remained relatively constant a...
