Maize kernel oil and episodes of shading during the grain-filling period
Previous studies documented the stability of maize (Zea mays L.) kernel oil concentration for a wide range of kernel weights promoted by contrasting post-flowering assimilate availabilities per kernel (i.e., source–sink ratios). These studies mainly modified the sink size with a low impact on the source size. In this study, we focused on kernel oil concentration response to source–sink ratio ...

Natural Aroma Chemicals Are Taken from Nature, Such As Plants and Animals
Unlike aroma chemicals, which are produced through chemical synthesis, natural aroma chemicals are complex compounds derived from natural resources, including trees, flowers, plants and animals. Their origins can be traced back to the beginning of recorded time. The Egyptians used the tree resins frankincense (olibanum) and myrrh, burned as incense to appease the gods [1]. And the Classic Herbal, ...

Overexpression of AtLEAFY accelerates flowering in Brassica juncea
The floral meristem identity gene LEAFY (LFY) from Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh. can accelerate flowering in dicotyledonous plants. In this report, we raised transgenic plants of Brassica juncea (L.) Czern. cv. Varuna carrying the LEAFY gene (LFY) in sense and antisense orientation and studied the effect of modulation of LFY expression on flowering. The time required for the initiation of ...

Lighting Strategies for Ornamental Crop Production
The ornamental horticultural industry is diverse and made up of flowering potted plants, cut flowers and bedding plants. Ornamentals have specific lighting requirements needed to grow high quality and consistent crops. Since many bedding plant varieties are started in winter, lighting becomes important for managing early growth stages and to ensure products are in a condition ready to be shipped ...

Construction of an intraspecific linkage map and QTL analysis for earliness and plant height in Lentil
Earliness and plant height traits are key targets in lentil (Lens culinaris Medikus) breeding and are quantitatively controlled. Recombinant inbred lines (RILs) are useful in genetic mapping studies of quantitative traits. The objectives of this study are to develop a genetic map and identify genome regions associated with earliness and plant height using RILs derived from a cross between ‘Eston’ ...

What is the right light intensity and illumination length?
Photoperiodism The photoperiod, this is used as a signal for the plant to flower. Many flowering plants (angiosperms) use a photoreceptor protein, such as phytochromeor cryptochrome, to sense seasonal changes in night length, The Phytochrome conversion (Pfr to Pr) allows the plant to sense when it is night or day. Phytochrome Conversion The biologically-inactive form of ...

Postharvest loss estimation of cut rose ( Rosa hybrida ) flower farms: economic analysis in East Shoa Zone, Ethiopia
Despite the sector’s role of sustaining economic growth, there is considerable loss in rose cut flower production due to improper postharvest handling. This study’s survey was conducted from first week of February to last week of April, 2011 in three districts of East Shoa Zone, Ethiopia for estimating farm level postharvest loss in rose cut flower production. The postharvest loss at ...

Habitat-specific responses in the flowering phenology and seed set of alpine plants to climate variation: implications for global-change impacts
The timing of the snowmelt is a crucial factor in determining the phenological schedule of alpine plants. A long-term monitoring of snowmelt regimes in a Japanese alpine area revealed that the onset of the snowmelt season has been accelerated during the last 17 years in early snowmelt sites but that such a trend has not been detected in late snowmelt sites. This indicates that the global warming ...

Cannabis Plant in the Work Place- Harmless or Not?
The Creator created this plant as a herb, so what's the problem? Let's find out more about this plant.This plant seems harmless but should employers tolerate workers that have this in their system? Almost half of the states now have medical marijuana laws, allowing people with severe medical conditions to use marijuana with a doctor’s authorization and a card from the state. So should it be ...

Effect of Ethylene on flowers
Ethylene also has a harmful effect on cut flowers... Ethylene is an invisible, odour-free gas, produced naturally during the life cycle of flowers and plants, which can cause the premature death of flowers, the loss of their petals and/or abnormal opening, among other negative effects. This damage can be virtually eliminated, if we apply BIOCONSERVACION's solutions for ethylene removal. ...

Harvesting Cannabis: When and How?
Cannabis is the kind of plant that is known for numerous medicinal benefits. And it is the kind of plant that is not quite difficult to grow. The plant will grow wherever it is given the ideal conditions to thrive. However, the harvesting requires a lot of time and effort, even more care than growing the actual plant itself. You can buy a Cannabis harvesting machine and get the job done, but ...

cheap 50 72 128cell trays wholesale supplier
Due to the need for higher temperature, it is necessary to sprinkle some warm water on the leaves regularly. Plants placed in a dry environment can put a layer of wet small gravel in the flower pot to promote the growth of plants. Seedlings are planted from March to April in spring, or preferably from September to October in winter. Sowing before the frost season. In winter, please manage ...

Effects of the herbicide dicamba on non‐target plants and pollinator visitation
Nearly 80% of all pesticides applied to row crops are herbicides, and these applications pose potentially significant ecotoxicological risks to non‐target plants and associated pollinators. In response to the widespread occurrence of weed species resistant to glyphosate, biotechnology companies have developed crops resistant to the synthetic‐auxin herbicides dicamba or 2,4‐D, and once ...

A method to predict weekly strawberry fruit yields from extended season production systems
In major strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa) production areas, fruit are harvested continuously for 4 to 6 mo. During the season, weekly yields vary. To improve weekly forecasts, a yield prediction equation was developed for ‘Strawberry Festival’ using input variables derived from flower counts and temperature data over two seasons in Florida. Weekly yields are dependent on the number, size, and ...

Pollinator effects on genotypically distinct soybean cytoplasmic male sterile lines
Poor seed-set limits potential for soybean hybrid seed production. The objective of this study was to evaluate effects of different pollinators on the rate of seed set in three soybean cytoplasmic male sterile (CMS) lines, JLCMS9A, JLCMS82A, and JLCMS89A. The following five treatments were applied under net room isolation-conditions: (i) insecticide application and release of alfalfa leafcutter ...

Feasibility of seed production from nonflowering orchardgrass
Nonflowering or sparse flowering orchardgrass (Dactylis glomerata L.) would greatly simplify management of intensive rotational grazing systems. Our objective was to quantify seed production on nonflowering orchardgrass clones selected in cold-winter climates, but grown for seed in mild-winter climates. We evaluated 98 orchardgrass clones for seed production traits at four locations. Most plants ...
