A sensitive, specific enzyme immunoassay (EIA) for trans-zeatin riboside (ZR) and trans-zeatin (Z) in the 0.3 to 30 picomole range has been described. The reliability of the method for measuring ZR + Z in partially purified extracts of Zea mays L. tissues was verified by highperformance liquid chromatography. EIA measurements showed that there was a concentration gradient of ZR + Z along the le...

Application of [(14)C]fructosyl sucrose was used to determine whether sucrose cleavage was necessary for sucrose uptake by sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) internode tissue. Although approximately 25% of (14)C in the apoplast was present as fructose, indicating some sucrose cleavage, less than 15% of the label was randomized in the sucrose that remained in the tissue after a 30 minute osmoticum rinse...

Fast rendering and botanically faithful description of plants are a real challenge in computer graphics. Usually, plant production is computed using the method internode by internode, while there exist a lot of buds in an individual tree, therefore, this approach is quite time-consuming even for a medium-size tree. In this paper, we present a new algorithm based on substructure instances to qui...

Plant architecture improvement is of great significance in influencing crop yield, harvesting efficiency and ornamental value, by changing the spatial structure canopy. However, mechanism on plant woody plants still unclear. In order to study genetic control traits promote marker-assisted selection (MAS), a linkage map was constructed, QTL mapping performed. this study, using 188 BC2 progenies ...

In subtropical environments lodging occurs at all stages of the oat plant development, particularly after panicle extrusion, causing severe yield reduction. This study aimed to identify morphological, chemical, and anatomical characteristics stem associated with resistance on oats, which may be used select resistant genotypes. A set genotypes diverse response were grown in nine environments, co...

To investigate the positive effects of salicylic acid (SA) on morphological and biochemical traits of salinity stress-imposed winter jasmine, an experiment was conducted in a research greenhouse. The experiment was conducted using a factorial experiment based on completely randomized design with four levels of salinity stress (2, 4, 6, and 8 dS.m-1) as the first factor and different levels of S...
