A simple and reliable protocol for plant regeneration from petioles of micropropagated plants of kiwifruit [Actinidia deliciosa (A. Chev) Liang and Ferguson, var. deliciosa ‘Hayward’] is described. Morphogenic callus was initiated by culturing petioles taken from in vitro-propagated plants. From the media tested, Cheng’s K(h) medium plus 0.1 μM IAA, 4.5 μM zeatin, and 2% sucrose was the best fo...

We consider the problem of learning to optimize an unknown MDP M = (S,A, R, P ). S = {1, .., S} is the state space, A = {1, .., A} is the action space. In each timestep t = 1, 2, .. the agent observes a state st ∈ S, selects an action at ∈ A, receives a reward rt ∼ R(st, at) ∈ [0, 1] and transitions to a new state st+1 ∼ P (st, at). We define all random variables with respect to a probability s...

We consider the problem of learning to optimize an unknown MDP M∗ = (S,A, R∗, P ∗). S = {1, .., S} is the state space, A = {1, .., A} is the action space. In each timestep t = 1, 2, .. the agent observes a state st ∈ S, selects an action at ∈ A, receives a reward rt ∼ R(st, at) ∈ [0, 1] and transitions to a new state st+1 ∼ P (st, at). We define all random variables with respect to a probabilit...

Uromyces phaseoli, the causal agent of bean rust, suppressed shoot and root growth of three bean cultivars, reducing root weight more than shoot weight. The greatest suppression of root weight was on the cultivar that appeared most susceptible by visual ratings of shoot symptoms. Meloidogyne incognita suppressed shoot and root growth of all test cultivars; root weight reductions differed among ...

Shoot tips and nodal segment explants to Rauwolfia serpentina when cultured on MS medium containing varying concentration of Benzyl adenine purine (BAP) and Benzyl adenine purine in combination with Indole butyric acid (IBA) produced multiple shoots. Maximum multiple shoots (85.6%) were found in static MS medium supplemented with 5.0 mg/ 1 BAP and 0.5 mg / 1 IBA along with 2.5% sucrose and 0.85...

The aim of this study was to design a development Strategy for the Public Sport in Mazandaran province. A sample of 73 individuals who were the physical education teachers of higher education institutions, senior managers of the department of the youth and sports, senior experts, heads of the state offices, provincial and municipal authorities and bodies of sports participated in this study. ...
