Interest in growing hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) is constantly increasing. Different varieties of grown Serbia (Institute Field and Vegetable Crops, Bački Petrovac) were evaluated by plant height, stem yield, fibre content, yield seed yield. Carmagnola variety reached the highest Fedora 17 lowest. Stem yields, which averaged 13.23±2.93 t/ha, had a high correlation relationship with height. The dem...

To provide data and methods for analyzing stem mechanics, we investigated bending, density and growth characteristics of 207 specimens of fresh wood from different heights and radial positions of the stem of one mature Norway spruce (Picea abies L. Karst.) tree. From the shape of each stress-strain curve, which was calculated from bending tests that accounted for shear deformation, we determine...

The study presents a novel method for delineation of tree crowns and detection of stem positions of single trees from dense airborne LIDAR data. The core module of the method is a surface reconstruction that robustly interpolates the canopy height model (CHM) from the LIDAR data. Tree segments are found by applying the watershed algorithm to the CHM. Possible stem positions of the tallest trees...

Plant architecture is shaped by endogenous growth processes interacting with the local environment. The current study investigated crown development in young black alder trees, assessing the effects of local light conditions and branch height on individual bud mass and contents. In addition, we examined the characteristics of parent shoots [the cross-sectional area (CSA) of stem and total leaf ...

Mammalian aging results from a replicative decline in the function of somatic stem cells and other self-renewing cells. Recent studies (Monzen et al., 2008; Nishino et al., 2008; Sanna et al., 2008; Weedon et al., 2008) link a chromatin-associated protein, HMGA2, to development, height, and mouse stem cell aging during late fetal development and young adulthood.

Field experiment was carried out at Ornamental Nursery, Department of Horticulture, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) Agricultural University Peshawar, during 2009 to study “the response of plane tree cuttings to different planting dates”. Three types of cuttings (hardwood cuttings, semi-hardwood cuttings, Softwood cuttings) and three dates (6 January, 21 January and 5 February) were studied. The experim...

Recent advances in omics technologies have not been accompanied by equally efficient, cost-effective, and accurate phenotyping methods required to dissect the genetic architecture of complex traits. Even though high-throughput phenotyping platforms have been developed for controlled environments, field-based aerial and ground technologies have only been designed and deployed for short-stature c...

in order to investigate the effects of piriformospora indica and trichoderma tomentosum fungi on basil (ocimum basilicum l.) growth under copper nitrate levels, a pot experiment in factorial arrangement with three replicates was done during 2012. treatments were four levels of copper nitrate (0, 100, 200 and 300 mg kg-1 of soil) and four levels of fungal coexistence (non-inoculation control, in...
