disadvantages such as indeterminate inflorescence and high seed shattering during ripening are significant restrictions to introduce evening primrose as a commercial medicinal plant. following to the last works, a pot experiment was conducted to clarify the influence of defoliation before harvest on the seed yield, oil and gla (gamma-linolenic acid) percentage of evening primrose growing under ...

Barchan dunes are found where sand availability is low and wind direction quite constant. The two dimensional shear stress of the wind field and the sand movement by saltation and avalanches over a barchan dune are simulated. The model with one dimensional shear stress is extended including surface diffusion and lateral shear stress. The resulting final shape is compared to the results of the m...
