Screening Pepper Cultivars for Resistance to Flower Abscission: A Comparison of Techniques

Pistillate Flower Abscission - 1990

Evaluation of the pistillate flower abscission (PFA) potential of UC-67-13 and UC-67-11 was continued at two sites. At a high PFA site UC-67-13 PFA was only moderately lower than Serr for the third year. UC-67-11 demonstrated low PFA potential for a seconq year at this site. Higher PFA potential of UC-67-13 than UC-67 -11 was also found at a second site for a second year. No further evaluation ...

Pistillate Flower Abscission (pfa)

PFA was not different with shaded vs. exposed limbs of the same trees nor between shaded interior trees and outside ones with high light exposure. Tehama trees expressed lower PFA than adjacent Serre PFA of Tehama was also low at a site where Serr trees (removed 1982) had very high drop the previous three years. Fruitfulness of all monitored limbs in 1982 ranged from 6 to 97% and the earlier co...

Screening Eight Cultivars of Alstroemeria Cut Flower for Vase Life and Biochemical Traits

Alstroemeria is one of the most popular cut flowers in European Union owing to its postharvest longevity and broad color spectra. Nevertheless, premature wilting decreases the aesthetic value of flowering branches even before the opening of the secondary florets in the fluorescence. The present study evaluated different biochemical and morphological traits of Alstroemeria cut ...

a comparison of teachers and supervisors, with respect to teacher efficacy and reflection

supervisors play an undeniable role in training teachers, before starting their professional experience by preparing them, at the initial years of their teaching by checking their work within the proper framework, and later on during their teaching by assessing their progress. but surprisingly, exploring their attributes, professional demands, and qualifications has remained a neglected theme i...
