Fluorescein-induced Parthenocarpy

Hormone-induced Parthenocarpy in the Calimyrna Fig and a Comparison of Parthenocarpic and Caprified Syconia.

The problems associated with caprification (pollination) of Calimyrna figs and the desirability of standardizing or, still better, eliminating this cultural operation have been discussed (5). Because of its relatively low cost, low required concentration, and complete lack of injurious effects on fruit and foliage, para-chlorophenoxyacetic acid was found, during the season of 1948, to offer con...

Fundus photography and fluorescein angiography Fluorescein angiography

Fluorescein angiography is a clinical diagnostic test procedure in which rapid-sequence photography is performed after intravenous injection of sodium fluorescein. The procedure allows the documentation of the retinal circulation. Of equal importance is the ability of the angiogram to outline the entire retinal vascular bed. Previous clinical methods of examination of the fundus enabled the phy...

Honey-Induced Protein Stabilization as Studied by Fluorescein Isothiocyanate Fluorescence

Protein stabilizing potential of honey was studied on a model protein, bovine serum albumin (BSA), using extrinsic fluorescence of fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) as the probe. BSA was labelled with FITC using chemical coupling, and urea and thermal denaturation studies were performed on FITC-labelled BSA (FITC-BSA) both in the absence and presence of 10% and 20% (w/v) honey using FITC fluore...

The fruit of Bursera: structure, maturation and parthenocarpy

BACKGROUND AND AIMS The deterioration of seasonally tropical dry forests will stop with the implementation of management plans for this ecosystem. To develop these plans, we require information regarding aspects such as germination and the presence of 'empty seeds' of representative species-like, for example, Bursera, a genus with a high number of endemic species of the Mesoamerican Hotspot-tha...
