Iron nutrition six cultivars of sunflower

Magnesium nutrition of two species of sunflower.

Helianthus annuus L., the common cultivated sunflower, and Helianthus bolanderi Gray subspecies exilis Heiser, a form endemic on serpentine soils, were grown in culture solutions with widely varying Mg levels. For comparable development, H. bolanderi exilis required higher levels of Mg in the solution than H. annuus, both in the range of visual deficiency symptoms and in higher ranges.With 0.5 ...

Role of the rhizosphere in iron nutrition of plants

Quality Parameters of Six Cultivars of Blueberry Using Computer Vision

Background. Blueberries are considered an important source of health benefits. This work studied six blueberry cultivars: "Duke," "Brigitta", "Elliott", "Centurion", "Star," and "Jewel", measuring quality parameters such as °Brix, pH, moisture content using standard techniques and shape, color, and fungal presence obtained by computer vision. The storage conditions were time (0-21 days), temper...

Iron, ferritin, and nutrition.

Ferritin, a major form of endogenous iron in food legumes such as soybeans, is a novel and natural alternative for iron supplementation strategies where effectiveness is limited by acceptability, cost, or undesirable side effects. A member of the nonheme iron group of dietary iron sources, ferritin is a complex with Fe3+ iron in a mineral (thousands of iron atoms inside a protein cage) protecte...

Response of Six Bermudagrass Cultivars to Different Irrigation Intervals

A 2-year greenhouse study was conducted at Clemson University, Clemson, S.C., in 2003 and 2004 to determine drought responses of six bermudagrass (Cynodon spp.) cultivars at four irrigation intervals. Cultivars selected from the 2002 National Turfgrass Evaluation Program Bermudagrass Trial were ‘SWI-1012’, ‘Arizona Common’, ‘Tift No.3’, ‘Tifsport’, ‘Aussie Green’, and ‘Celebration’. Treatments ...

Morphogenetic responses of six Philodendron cultivars in vitro.

In vitro morphogenic response of nodal explants from six cultivars of Philodendron viz, blue mistic, painted lady, pink prince, pluto, royal queen and green emperor was studied. Frequency and number of shoot formation depend on the cultivars and concentration of BAP. High frequency and number of shoot formation were obtained w hen the nodal explants were cultured in Nitsch medium supplemented w...
