LENTICEL HYPERTROPHY OF FLOODED MANGO TREES

Influence of environmental factors on the sap flux density of mango trees under rain-fed cropping systems in West Africa

Xylem sap flux density (Fd) was measured, on a 43-year-old (mature) and three 4-year-old (young) mango (Mangifera indica L.) trees, using Granier-type probes. The relative influences of environmental variables were examined under well-watered condition. Circumferential variation in Fd was also investigated by placing sensors on the north, south-west and south-east sides of the mature tree. Sap ...

Genetic Map of Mango: A Tool for Mango Breeding

Mango (Mangifera indica) is an economically and nutritionally important tropical/subtropical tree fruit crop. Most of the current commercial cultivars are selections rather than the products of breeding programs. To improve the efficiency of mango breeding, molecular markers have been used to create a consensus genetic map that identifies all 20 linkage groups in seven mapping populations. Poly...

Soil fertility in flooded and non-flooded irrigated rice systems

Deciphering structural and temporal interplays during the architectural development of mango trees.

Plant architecture is commonly defined by the adjacency of organs within the structure and their properties. Few studies consider the effect of endogenous temporal factors, namely phenological factors, on the establishment of plant architecture. This study hypothesized that, in addition to the effect of environmental factors, the observed plant architecture results from both endogenous structur...

Technological Research Council (Tubitak). The magazine’s editor, Cigdem Atakuman, was also sacked for ‘exceeding her authority’ by commissioning the article, which the council said was “not planned or scientifically evaluated beforehand”. The government has denied playing any role in the article’s withdrawal and has joined in the condemnation, despite its wellknown opposition to evolutionary th...
