Highbush blueberries need sufficient chilling exposure to induce bud break and flowering, which limits their cultivation in warm areas as well the profitability of protected greenhouses. Hydrogen cyanamide (H2CN2, HC), gibberellic acid (GA3), ethephon (CE), mineral oil (MO), potassium nitrate (KNO3) are often applied deciduous fruit trees advance set. In this study, experiments were conducted n...

Plant secondary metabolites are part of defense mechanism that form host plant resistance. Understanding the inheritance is preliquisite for conducting an effective breeding program. The objective this study was to determine mode associated with resistance cowpea flower bud thrips. Five genotypes varying level thrips were crossed in full diallel method 1. F2 evaluated and damage field screen ho...

‘Malbec’ grapevines commonly have high yield, thus intermittently negatively affecting wine quality parameters. Here, we describe the use of late shoot pruning (LSP) practice applied for improvement. We examined effect timing LSP on vines grown in Mediterranean conditions during three consecutive seasons (2016–2018) Israel. The treatment applications (applied one, two and weeks after bud break)...

Collective migration is a basic mechanism of cell translocation during morphogenesis, wound repair and cancer invasion. Collective movement requires cells to retain cell-cell contacts, exhibit group polarization with defined front-rear asymmetry, and consequently move as one multicellular unit. Depending on the cell type, morphology of the group and the tissue context, distinct mechanisms contr...

in this study, the effects of different types of hand plucking were studied on green leaf yield and black tea quality. bud and a leaf, bud and two leaves, bud and three leaves and bud and four leaves were the types of hand plucking. plucking was down on chine’s hybrid tea and clone 100 in fuman tea research station. shoots were plucked in flashing period regularly during three years. green leaf...

abstract persian walnut is one of the most important nut crops in iran. now the majority of orchards are seedling with a great diversity. for establishing uniform orchards and increasing the quantity and quality of yield, patch budding as the most suitable propagation methods, have still technical and practical problems in the country. in spite of high percent of primary success in patch buddin...

Global warming, through affecting the dormancy progression of temperate fruit trees, has a profound impact on bud break, flowering and fruiting performance. This may lead to economic losses in production genus Prunus sp., which cultivation is common regions worldwide, producing edible drupes such as almond, apricot, cherry, plum, peach nectarines. To overcome climate change-related tree disorde...
