Coastal ecosystems are increasingly threatened by eutrophication and dystrophy. In this context, the full pattern of a bloom dominated dinoflagellate, Lepidodinium chlorophorum, was investigated high frequency monitoring buoy equipped with sensors allowing nutrients photosynthesis measurements. An increase N/P ratio affected phytoplankton physiology leading to collapse slight oxygen depletion. ...

The objective of this study was to investigate the effect different rates ethephon on return bloom and yield, fruit quality ‘Fuji’ apple trees. experiment performed during 2014/2015 2015/2016 growing seasons. Eighteen-year-old Fuji Standard trees grafted M.9 were sprayed with (300 mg L-1, 400 500 L-1) 30 days after full (DAFB) compared an unsprayed control. Yield components (number per tree, we...

selection and introduction of superior genotypes from native populations is one of the most common improving methods for fruit trees in the world. iran as a very important origin of apricot has a huge diversity of varieties, so a rich collection of local and imported genotypes of apricot was induced in sahand horticultural research station from 1971. nasiri 90 and other four superior varieties ...

late spring frost damage is the main factor that limits apricot production in iran.this research was aimed to evaluate the damage of freezing in two apricot cultivarflowers: ʽʽnasiriʼʼ and ʽʽnori-dirrasʼʼ during spring 2011. reproductive organs of thesecultivars at two phenological stages, popcorn and full bloom, were transferred toprogrammable freezer with temperature touch down from 5°c to -1...

Objective(s): In recent years, there has been an increasing amount of study on early diagnosis of kidney injury through sensitive and specific biomarkers. We examined the practical applicability of the urinary levels of NAG (N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminidase), AP (alkaline phosphatase), and LDH (lactate dehydrogenase) as renal dysfunction screening biomarkers in full and pre-term newborns treated wi...

The European pear is a climacteric fruit species characterised by high storability. ‘Conference’ can be stored in CA (controlled atmosphere) room without major losses for half year. However, storage to successful, the must harvested when fully developed before it enters climatic maturation phase. Among various methods used determine optimal harvest date, degree-day method, which relies on sum o...

BACKGROUND Peperomia pellucida is popularly known as coraçãozinho in the Brazilian northeast and is used in the treatment of abscesses, furuncles, and conjunctivitis. Our work aimed to determine the term of the development stages and the species cycle in the four seasons of the year (complete development, beginning of bloom, complete bloom, and seed set), verifying the plant's therapeutic profi...
