Rationale Ground ivy is a stoloniferous, perennial weed that can persist in turf. Growing at soil level, stolons infiltrate surrounding vegetation and establish new populations, which result in non-uniform turf. Approximately 62,000 lbs of 2,4-D were applied to Indiana homelawns in 1992.. A 2001 survey of Indiana lawn care operators (LCO) found 79% of respondents used 2,4-D either alone or in c...

The extraradical hyphae of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) one plant root system forage for the soil nutrients and induce colonization nearby plants, which leads to formation common networks (CMNs) that interconnect roots. Inoculation with AMF can increase length, surface area volume seedlings in nutrient-limited karstic soils. Mycorrhizal symbioses secrete glomalin help promoting aggregates...

The increase in potato production is constrained condition Indonesia grow the area with an altitude of 1500m above sea level. It known that at high temperatures gibberellin acid (GA) content plants will increase, thus inhibiting tuber formation. use growth retardants such as paclobutrazol can inhibit GA biosynthesis so it stimulate In this study, aim study was to determine effect concentration ...

Apomixis, asexual reproduction through seeds, occurs in over 40 plant families. This widespread phenomenon can lead to the fixation of successful genotypes, resulting in a fitness advantage. On the other hand, apomicts are expected to lose their fitness advantage if the environment changes because of their limited evolutionary potential, which is due to low genetic variability and the potential...

Ap Applicati tions ons in in Pl Plant t Scien Sciences ces The lesser periwinkle (Vinca minor L.; Apocynaceae) is an evergreen subshrub that is native to Southern Europe but has become naturalized in wider parts of Central Europe and North America (Meusel et al., 1978 ; Swearingen et al., 2010). In Germany, V. minor is nowadays mainly found in the surroundings of ancient Roman remains, medieval...

Under optimum environmental conditions, tuberization in potato (Solanum tuberosum) is activated by signals that either function in the leaf or arise in this organ and move down into stolon tips to induce tuber formation. Three major signals have been identified: CYCLING DOF FACTOR1 (StCDF1) for earliness and StBEL5 mRNA and SELF-PRUNING6A (StSP6A) protein as mobile signals originating in the le...
