Abstract The variability of metric traits has been studied in 20 Kazakhstan populations three Nitraria species ( N. schoberi L., sibirica Pall., and komarovii Iljin & Lava ex Bobrov). According to the results, differs from small leaves, fruits, seeds, as well structural features inflorescences flowers. is characterized by a greater number flowers per inflorescence (25–66 on average) than (1...

• Flower formation in grapevines follows 3 steps: 1) formation of uncommitted primordia, also called anlagen, within the latent buds; 2) differentiation of uncommitted primordia into inflorescence primordia; and 3) differentiation of inflorescence primordia into individual flowers . Steps 1 and 2 happen during the previous season, whereas Step 3 does not happen until budbreak of the current sea...

We experimentally reduced the number of flowers of two species of Heliconia (H. caribaea and H. bihai) by 50% on territories defended by male Purple-throated Caribs (Eulampis jugularis). Following reductions, males decreased the amount of time they spent feeding on their territories and lost a significant amount of weight, but increased their time feeding and regained weight to premanipulation ...

Variation in the branching of plant inflorescences determines flower number and, consequently, reproductive success and crop yield. Nightshade (Solanaceae) species are models for a widespread, yet poorly understood, program of eudicot growth, where short side branches are initiated upon floral termination. This "sympodial" program produces the few-flowered tomato inflorescence, but the classica...

abstract rosa damascena has attracted considerable attention in horticulture, biochemistry and in pharmacology because of the fragrance of the flowers and the high content of its bio-logically active substances. there is limited information available on factors controlling flower yield and its components. the present study reports an investigation on flower yield and the various factors affect...

seventeen iranian shallot genotypes from ashtian, arak, boroujerd, dashtearjan, doshmanziari, divandareh, khomein, khansar, sepidan, siakhdarengoon, sahne, kangavar, koohrang, koohmaresorkhi, nahavand, harsin and yasouj areas were evaluated for their morphological traits. corms were collected from the mentioned regions and planted based on a complete block design. quantitative and qualitative t...
