Determining the driving climatic factors at critical periods and potential legacy effects is crucial for grassland productivity predictions on Qinghai–Tibet Plateau (QTP). However, studies with limited ex situ ground samples from highly heterogeneous alpine meadows brought great uncertainties. This study determined key plant developmental stages impact of previous growth status interannual abov...

The dynamic changes of genetic effects, including main effects, and genotype x environment (GE) interaction effects on brown rice thickness (BRT) across environments were investigated by using the developmental genetic models. Seven cytoplasmic male sterile lines of indica rice (Oryza sativa L.) as females and five restoring lines as males were used in a factorial design to produce grains of F(...

background & aim: the plants of the greenhouse have been affected by infestation of the pest trialeurodes vaporariorum, called greenhouse whitefly, which markedly reduced production. synthetic insecticides have been widely developed and, their extensive use has brought about disadvantages, like environmental disturbance, pest resistance, lethal effects on non target organisms and toxicity t...

Nodule development directly affects nitrogen fixation efficiency during soybean growth. Although abundant genome-based information related to nodule development has been released and some studies have reported the molecular mechanisms that regulate nodule development, information on the way nodule genes operate in nodule development at different developmental stages of soybean is limited. In th...

The Plant Ontology Consortium (POC) (www.plantontology.org) is a collaborative effort among several plant databases and experts in plant systematics, botany and genomics. A primary goal of the POC is to develop simple yet robust and extensible controlled vocabularies that accurately reflect the biology of plant structures and developmental stages. These provide a network of vocabularies linked ...

Plant viruses are mostly transmitted by sucking insects via their piercing behaviors, which may differ due to host plant species and their developmental stages. We characterized the transmission of a fijivirus, southern rice black-streaked dwarf virus (SRBSDV), by the planthopper vector Sogatella furcifera Horváth (Hemiptera: Delphacidae), between rice and corn plants of varying developmental s...

Sea Urchin is one of the most useful tools in developmental biology studies because this organism has the simplest kind of developmental stages. We aimed to determine developmental stages and timetable of Echinometra mathaei embryo (the species of Persian Gulf). The spawning of E. mathaei was induced by 0.5M KCl injection (1ml) into the coelomic cavity. After fertilization, embryos were placed ...

the green lacewing chrysoperla carnea (stephens) (neuroptera: chrysopidae) is one of the important natural enemies of pest insects. present study conducted to evaluate the side effects of some plant extracts, calotropis procera (willd.) r. br. (asclepiadaceae), fumaria parviflora lam. (fumariaceae), eucalyptus spp. (myrtaceae) and pesticide amitraz on biological parameters of the second instar ...
