Although the impact of Orobanche cumana Wallr. on sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) becomes evident with emergence of broomrape shoots aboveground, infection occurs early after sowing, the host physiology being altered during underground parasite stages. Genetic resistance is the most effective control method and one of the main goals of sunflower breeding programmes. Blue-green fluorescence (BG...

‘Cabernet Sauvignon’ is a vigorous grapevine that develops herbaceous aromas in grapes. Canopy management practices can impact physiology, and as consequence the photosynthesis, fruit yield, grape composition, improve quality of fruit. Leaf removals apical leaf on grapevines have been shown to reduce aromas. However, little known, about effect use girdling concentration volatile compounds Thus,...

ABSTRACT The leaf area is a parameter of fundamental importance in studies on plant growth and physiology. objective this study was to build allometric equations for the accurate fast estimation sapodilla areas. In total, 250 leaves different shapes sizes were collected from matrices trees growing at Universidade Federal Rural do Semi-Árido, Mossoró-RN, Brazil. For each leaf, length, width, pro...

--We investigated the hypotheses that two different varieties of Arabidopsis thaliana show differences in physiology and terpene production. The two varieties of A. thaliana used in this study were wild-type (WT) and transgenic line (CoxIV-FaNES I) genetically modified to emit nerolidol with linalool/nerolidol synthase (COX). Photosynthetic rate, electron transport rate, fluorescence, leaf vola...

The leaf economics spectrum (LES) is a prominent ecophysiological paradigm that describes global variation in leaf physiology across plant ecological strategies using a handful of key traits. Nearly a decade ago, Shipley et al. (2006) used structural equation modelling to explore the causal functional relationships among LES traits that give rise to their strong global covariation. They conclud...

Growth parameters such as leaf area (LA), total dry mass (TDM) production, crop growth rate (CGR), relative growth rate (RGR), and net assimilation rate (NAR) were compared in six varieties of mungbean under subtropical condition (24°8' N 90°0' E) to identify limiting growth characters for the efficient application of physiology breeding for higher yields. Results revealed that a relatively sma...

To evaluate the effectiveness of various organic or inorganic fertilizers on the growth and physiology of Chrysanthemum morifolium (an important ornamental plant) the current research was conducted in a completely randomized design. Seedlings were treated with vermicompost (0 and 40% w/w of soil), nano-chelated zinc (nano-Zn) (0 and 0.1% (w/v)) or ZnSO4 (0 and 0.2% (w/v). Sprays of nano-Zn or Z...
