Heterogeneity is widespread in natural environments; as a result, connected clonal ramets often live areas characterized by patches of different resources. Specifically, plants are frequently affected conditions heterogeneous water stress. This raises the question how grow and reproduce with In this study, we investigated adaptation mechanisms under environmental conditions. On one hand, bore m...

Controlled Environmental Agriculture (CEA) has gained a lot of attention in recent years, mainly because its ability to overcome extreme weather problems and ensure food safety. CEA can meet the full growth state monitoring crop period; however, optimization growing environment is still limited by algorithm defects. In this article, we present an method based on reinforcement learning, Q-learni...

Abstract The expanded usage of white clover has increased the importance understanding dynamics in pastures. It is assumed that plants have a higher tolerance for moisture and nutrient deficiencies when taproot still present. Therefore, survival seminal can influence clover. Past breeding efforts countries like New Zealand focussed on increasing longevity through hybridisation with close relati...

Bermudagrass [Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers.] is a perennial grass and has been long used as a medicinal herb in Iranian traditional medicine to treat varied ailments. Different parts of bermudagrass such as leaves, stolons, rhizomes and culms are rich sources of metabolites such as proteins, carbohydrates, mineral constituents, β-sitosterol, flavonoids, alkaloids, glycosides and triterpenoides.

The aim our research was determine participation gravimorphoses plasticity depending on thermal habitats UV radiation effect. objects study were sterile cultures following moss protonemata: Weissia ...

Abstract Aims The carnivorous Utricularia (Lentibulariaceae) has an anatomically simple and seemingly rootless vegetative body. It occupies a variety of wetlands inland waters shows broad range life forms. Here, we aimed to elucidate structural functional traits in various hydric conditions. Furthermore, intended evaluate morpho-anatomical adaptations correlation with Methods Morpho-anatomical ...

A living mulch system can provide beneficial biodiversified phytocoenoses and spatial competition against weeds; however, it may also compete for water with the main cultivated crop under Mediterranean climate conditions. Strawberries employed as in a rain-fed hill vineyard of central Italy were evaluated two years through participative approach involving farmer. local wild strawberry was propa...
