POT transporters represent an evolutionarily well-conserved family of proton-coupled transport systems in biology. An unusual feature of the family is their ability to couple the transport of chemically diverse ligands to an inwardly directed proton electrochemical gradient. For example, in mammals, fungi, and bacteria they are predominantly peptide transporters, whereas in plants the family ha...

The effects of temperature and initial inoculum density of Meloidogyne incognita on soybean growth and nematode reproduction were investigated in greenhouse temperature tanks and in controlled-growth chambers. The interactions of initial inoculum density (P(i)) and soil temperature in effects on shoot growth were adequately described by multiple-regression models. At the highest temperatures (3...

This study aims to evaluate the impact of palm oil mill effluent treated with sodium carbonate on growth maize. The experiment consisted eight treatments concentrations viz 1.0%, 2.0%, 3.0%, 4.0%, 5.0%, 6.0%, 7.0% and 8.0%. treatment was carried out potted maize plants six replications. Four kilograms soil weighed into each pot. Six pots were labelled as control untreated added them. Eight othe...

Fusarium wilt is caused by the infection and growth of the fungus Fusarium oxysporum in the xylem of host plants. The physiological responses of cucumbers that are infected with Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cucumerinum (FOC) was studied in pot and hydroponic experiments in a greenhouse. The results showed that although water absorption and stem hydraulic conductance decreased markedly in infected ...

Abstract The expansion of residential areas has increased the demand for exotic and increasingly compact landscape plants. In this context, work aimed to evaluate effects paclobutrazol (PBZ) timing ethylene application on growth reduction flowering anticipation in ornamental pineapples grown pots. randomized block design was used with factorial arrangement (2 x 5) 4 replications plants per plot...

Heavy metals contamination is a major environmental problem which requires immediate human attention. The use of plant species to remove pollutants from soils, generally defined as phytoextraction. In order to evaluate phytoextraction of contaminated soils, a pot experiment conducted using two plants Barley, Canola three kinds of heavy metals (Cd, Pb, Ni) with 3 levels in a completely randomize...

Abstract The selection is a process in which the best genotypes are chosen according to desired characteristics for specific use of plant. Novelty, health, particular each market and, increasingly, low environmental impact its production, valued. One most questionable points ornamental plants fact that beauty subjective. To reduce subjectivity, breeders have delimit criteria previously, generat...

Aploneura lentisci Pass. is endemic to the Mediterranean region where it is holocyclic, forming galls on its primary host, Pistacia lentiscus and alternating over a 2-year period between Pistacia and secondary hosts, principally species of Gramineae. This aphid is widely distributed in Australia and New Zealand on the roots of the common forage grasses, ryegrass (Lolium spp.) and tall fescue (S...
