Suitable rootstock enhances apple tree resilience. In 2021, we studied “Buckeye Gala” ( Malus domestica var. Buckeye Gala") on nine rootstocks with contrasting vigor in NS and BC, Canada. Rootstock effects vigor, yield, midday stem water potential were significant BC. After sustained heat events, the large-dwarfing Geneva 935, 4814, 969 had lower ratio of sunburn fruits, resulting higher projec...

in this study, the possible infection of thomson navel, moro blood sweet orange, page mandarin and webber pomelo with citrus viroids was investigated. biological indexing was performed by grafting on etrog citron (c. medica) and maintained in temperature-controlled greenhouse. after inoculation, rna was extracted by sds– potassium acetate method. detection of citrus viroids was done reverse tra...

The plants used for phytoremediation pose special biological risks, whether transgenic or not, as most of the species: (a) are semi-domesticated; (b) are introduced from other habitats; (c) can become established in the contaminated site; (d) can spread and displace native species, and/or; (e) may introgress transgenes into related species. The addition of transgenes can reduce the risks, e.g. ...
