Several biotic and abiotic factors affect the seasonal and daily activities of flower-visiting insects, which, ultimately, influence the composition and abundance of a pollinator community and the extent of their pollination service. The aim of this four-year study was to assess the effect of some abiotic and biotic factors on the abundance and activity pattern of flower-visiting insects throug...

An (h, s, t)-representation of a graph G consists of a collection of subtrees {Sv |v ∈ V (G)} of a tree T , such that (i) the maximum degree of T is at most h, (ii) every subtree has maximum degree at most s, and (iii) there is an edge between two vertices in the graph if and only if the corresponding subtrees in T have at least t vertices in common. For example, chordal graphs correspond to [∞...

Background and Aims: Climate variation contributes to fluctuations in reproductive output, and spring temperature is thought to influence flower production in grapevines. For 3 years, we studied the influence of temperature from before budswell through to the appearance of individual flowers on reproductive development in field-grown Cabernet Sauvignon while minimising the influence of other mi...

Recent phylogenetic reconstructions suggest that axially condensed flower-like structures evolved iteratively in seed plants from either simple or compound strobili. The simple-strobilus model of flower evolution, widely applied to the angiosperm flower, interprets the inflorescence as a compound strobilus. The conifer cone and the gnetalean 'flower' are commonly interpreted as having evolved f...

Changes in gene expression during flower formation were studied in the long-day plant Sinapis alba. The day length dependence was exploited to synchronize flower formation in a large population of mustard plants. After an inductive light treatment, apices were harvested after different lengths of time, and changes in gene expression were analyzed. Two major groups of genes were identified whose...

In the area of agricultural field, the accurate forecasting of the yield and their estimation from the raw data are playing the important role in the planning of various aspects of agricultural production. In this paper an attempt has been made to estimate flower yield which helps in providing the knowledge so that it creates the base for flower marketing and its management. The main aim of thi...

the annihilating-ideal graph of a commutative ring $r$ is denoted by $ag(r)$, whose vertices are all nonzero ideals of $r$ with nonzero annihilators and two distinct vertices $i$ and $j$ are adjacent if and only if $ij=0$. in this article, we completely characterize rings $r$ when $gr(ag(r))neq 3$.

a connected graph g is said to be neighbourly irregular graph if no two adjacent vertices of g have same degree. in this paper we obtain neighbourly irregular derived graphs such as semitotal-point graph, k^{tℎ} semitotal-point graph, semitotal-line graph, paraline graph, quasi-total graph and quasivertex-total graph and also neighbourly irregular of some graph products.

to study the effect of chemical and biological fertilizers on growth and essential oil content of lavender (lavandula angustifolia mill.), the present work was conducted in 2012-2013 at the experimental field of alborz research station of the research institute of forests and rangelands, karaj, iran. the experiment was conducted in factorial in the form of a randomized complete block design wit...
