Abstract This study presents a new mathematical model of the physiology plant open system development in conditions far from equilibrium. Unlike existing approaches, our is based on equations describing competition for substrate between three main compartments cultivated plants - root, stem and leaf extreme conditions. Exchange with external environment occurs through two channels leaves root s...

This present study describes 11 species under 11 generate and 10 families of rare Homoeopathic Medicinal Plants introduced and cultivated in the Nilgiri district, Tamil Nadu, South India. The original citation, description, distribution and their medicinal uses are given.

Rapeseed Brassica napus L. transgenic for a Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) transgene was developed and was shown to be insecticidal towards certain caterpillars including the diamondback moth Plutella xylostella L. and the corn earworm Helicoverpa zea Boddie. To simulate an escape of the transgenics from cultivation, a field experiment was performed in which transgenic and nontransgenic rapeseed p...

In the genus Azolla rapid abscission of roots from floating fronds occurs within minutes in response to a variety of stresses, including exposure to nitrite. We found that hydrogen peroxide, though itself not an inducer of root abscission, modulates nitrite-induced root abscission by Azolla pinnata in a dose-dependent manner, with 2 mM H2O2 significantly diminishing the responsiveness to 2 mM N...

Aim Species characteristics and cultivation are both associated with alien plant naturalization invasiveness. Particular species favoured for cultivation, obscuring the relationship between traits success. We sought to better understand drivers of invasiveness by analysing relationships disentangling direct effects from indirect mediated cultivation. Location Great Britain. Time period c. 1000–...
