ethylene as a plant hormone plays various functions in a variety of physiological phenomena including seed germination, root initiation on stem cutting, senescence and organs abscission. in our previous investigation, five rose genotypes were identified showing high-sensitivity or low-sensitivity to exogenous ethylene treatment. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the rooting capacity and...

Optimum energy consumption and prevention of energy losses are important issues in various fields including agricultural engineering. Mower is one of the agricultural machineries that can waste too much energy if does not function properly. In this study, the performance of a single disc rotary mower was studied and optimized by measurement of cutting quality of the stem cross section (cutting ...

In May 2014, approximately 200 stem cell scientists from all over world gathered near Copenhagen in Denmark to participate in ‘The Stem Cell Niche’, part of the Copenhagen Bioscience Conferences series. The meeting covered an array of different stem cell systems from pluripotent stem cells and germ cells to adult stem cells of the lung, liver, muscle, bone and many more. In addition to the stem...

Stem cells are the focus of cutting edge research interest because of their competence both to self-renew and proliferate, and to differentiate into a variety of tissues, offering enticing prospects of growing replacement organs in vitro, among other possible therapeutic implications. It is conceivable that cancer stem cells share a number of biological hallmarks that are different from their n...

the implementation of different silvicultural systems can be effective on different characteristics of forest stands, such as stand structure and diameter distribution of trees. this study was carried out in shafaroud forests of gilan province of northern iran. the objectives of this research were 1) to evaluate the suitability of different probability distribution functions, including weibull,...

AIastradTechniques for vegetative propagation of 10-year-old blue SP.'Uce (Picea pungens EngeJm.) by stem cuttings were investigated. Month of collection of the cuttings and application of rooting hormones were examined. In addition, cutting position, cutting length and caliper were examined in relation to rooting response. December was the best collection date for rooting and root production. ...

Rooting and shoot growth were evaluated on stem tip cuttings of砂pencumpe功ratum receiving various auxin soaking treatments. Five-cm-Iong stem tips (0.08 g fresh weight in average) were soaked in IAA, 1 BA, NAA and 2,4-D solutions at 5, 25 , 125μM for 10 min, and then placed in a rockwool block for three weeks. A deionized water soaking treatment was served as a control. The results indicated tha...
