Temperature reduction in early spring, especially corporate with buds swelling, sometimes causes severe damages. Most of the fruit trees in tropical and semi-tropical regions, especially in more critical conditions, moderate, at early spring are subjected to the frostbite and winter cold injuries. This study aimed to evaluate the amount of proline, total protein, and soluble sugars during the p...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Flowering plants display considerable variation in mating system, specifically the relative frequency of cross- and self-fertilization. The majority of estimates of outcrossing rate do not account for temporal variation, particularly during the flowering season. Here, we investigated seasonal variation in mating and fertility in Incarvillea sinensis (Bignoniaceae), an annual...

Strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa Duch.) is one of the most important soft fruits belongs to family Rosaceae. A research trial was conducted in farmer’s field condition (Baadi) at village-Bharregaon, (dist.-Rajnandgaon, Chhattisgarh) and farm College Horticulture Research Station, Rajnandgaon (C.G.) during winter spring season year 2017-18 evaluate different strawberry cultivars for growth, flowe...

Eggplant is one of the most popular and vital vegetable crops in world. Various plant bio-regulators have been used different to increase uptake nutrients thereby leading improvement growth, flowering, fruit quality, storability yield. The scope this study was evaluate effects calcium lactate salicylic acid foliar application on growth parameters, physiological characteristics shelf-life eggpla...

Dysosma pleiantha is an endangered and endemic species in China. We have reported the flowering phenology, breeding system and pollinator activity of the species distributed in Tianmu Mountain (Zhejiang Province) nature reserves. Flowering occurred during the months of early April to late May, with the peak in the middle of the April, and was synchronous across all four subpopulations. The anth...

Spatio-temporal patterns of snowmelt and flowering times affect fruiting success in Erythronium grandiflorum Pursh (Liliaceae) in subalpine western Colorado, USA. From 1990 to 1995, I measured the consistency across years of snowmelt patterns and flowering times along a permanent transect. In most years since 1993, I have monitored fruit set in temporal cohorts (early- to late-flowering groups ...

Ethylene is a gaseous plant hormone that most likely became a functional hormone during the evolution of charophyte green algae, prior to land colonization. From this ancient origin, ethylene evolved into an important growth regulator that is essential for myriad plant developmental processes. In vegetative growth, ethylene appears to have a dual role, stimulating and inhibiting growth, dependi...

in other to study the effects of salicylic acid on reproductive characters of ‘elberta’ peach (prunus persica l. batsch) tree, an experiment was carried out based on randomized complete blocks design with four replications in commercial orchard, kerman, iran. the application of three concentrations of salicylic acid 0 (control), 1and 2 mm at swollen bud stage were used. results showed that appl...
