Here we analyzed in leaves the effect of FT overexpression driven by meristem-specific KNAT1 gene homolog of Arabidopsis thaliana (Lincoln et al., 1994; Long et al., 1996) on the transcriptomic response during plant development. Our results demonstrated that meristematic FT overexpression generates a phenotype with an early flowering independent of photoperiod when compared with wild type (WT) ...

Studies were conducted to examine the spatial distribution of immature Bemisia argentifolii Bellows & Perring and immature Eretmocerus eremicus Rose & Zolnerowich on cantaloupe vines and to develop efÞcient sampling plans. More B. argentifolii eggs were found on the 3rd leaf from the terminal of a cantaloupe vine than on any other leaf. The density of whiteßy nymphs peaked at leaf position 8, w...

the effect of tricyclazole application on waterlogging damage alleviation in canola seedlings was evaluated in a pot experiment in complete randomized design layout with three replications. treatments included: control (no waterlogging), waterlogging, tricyclazole plus waterlogging and tricyclazole. tricyclazole (75%) applied at three-leaf stage on canola seedlings. seedlings were exposed to wa...

in order to study the effect of light quality and quantity on morphological and physiological characteristics of two late and early maize (zea maize l.) s.c., an experiment was conducted in greenhouse conditions, ferdowsi university of mashhad, iran, during 2008. the experiment was carried out factorial based on randomized complete block design with six treatments and three replications. differ...

Heteroblastic plants produce markedly different leaf morphologies between juvenile and adult stages, while homoblastic plants exhibit little or gradual changes. We tested the hypothesis that the leaf morphology of the seedling stage of New Zealand heteroblastic species is advantageous in dealing with low light levels found in forest understorey. We used four independent contrasts of heteroblast...

Leaf senescence constitutes the last stage of leaf development in plants and proceeds through a highly regulated program in order to redistribution of micro- and macro-nutrients from the senescing leaves to the developing/growing plant organs. Initiation and progression of leaf senescence is accompanied by massive sequential alterations at various levels of leaf biology including leaf morpholog...

The prototype of the electric smart stove is an with briquette fuel from teak leaf waste. thermoelectric module used 12 units a Peltier TEC-12706. Thermoelectric generators take advantage Seebeck effect temperature differences both sides will produce electrical energy. developing method carried out in 4 stages. First stage, analyzing geometry requirements and shape. Second stage process making ...
