چکیده
the experiment was carried out to study the impact of chilling and night break on the flowering of ornamental plants in their off-season period. larsenianthus careyanus (benth.) w.j. kress & mood is a wild potential ornamental ginger naturally growing in the evergreen forest of north eastern states of india was selected for the current study. the rhizomes were collected and stored at 15oc for 8 months during march to october. the sprouted rhizomes after chilling treatment were planted at regular interval and sprouted plants were transferred to greenhouse with controlled light during night hours using incandescent lamp to extend flower production from december to march. off-season flowering was observed during january to march. a detailed morphological analysis of 23 attributes of plants under study was recorded.

متن کاملBinocular Spatial Localization in the Praying Mantis
The way in which mantids localize the direction and the distance of their prey has been analysed, to clarify the importance of binocular interactions. The results suggest the following major points: 1. Binocular interactions coordinate monocular directional information, such that the direction in which a mantid fixates its prey is intermediate between the image directions in the two eyes (Figs ...
متن کاملLeg Design for a Praying Mantis Robot
The praying mantis uses its front legs for locomotion, prey capture and feeding. Inspired by this dexterity, we began designing a hexapod robot that could use its front legs for both locomotion and manipulation. Our current work focuses on the middle and back legs of the robot. We designed a five degree of freedom leg, using a gimbal to form three intersecting axes of rotation at the hip to imi...
متن کاملManual of praying mantis morphology, nomenclature, and practices (Insecta, Mantodea)
This study provides a comprehensive review of historical morphological nomenclature used for praying mantis (Mantodea) morphology, which includes citations, original use, and assignment of homology. All referenced structures across historical works correspond to a proposed standard term for use in all subsequent works pertaining to praying mantis morphology and systematics. The new standards ar...
متن کاملA Schema Based Model of the Praying Mantis
We present a schema-based agent architecture which is inspired by an ethological model of the praying mantis. It includes an inner state, perceptual and motor schemas, several routines, a fovea and a motor. We describe the design and implementation of the architecture and we use it for comparing two models: the former uses reactive, stimulusresponse schemas; the latter involves also forward mod...
