1991). These properties include soil bulk density and chemical properties. This study investigated the relationships between corn (Zea mays An objective of site specific management is to apply L.) grain yield and weather over a range of soil rooting depths with appropriate levels of agricultural inputs to localized areas. and without irrigation. The purpose was to test if variability of corn Si...

iron wood (parrotia persica) tree as a forest species has many applications in urban green landscape. however, its reproduction and seedling production have not been studied in iran. thus, knowing the type of cutting and hormone treatments to increase the rooting of cuttings can be very effective. accordingly, annual and perennial cuttings were prepared in january and june, respectively. cuttin...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS The objective of this study was to test whether the mean values of several root morphological variables were related to the ability to develop root-borne shoots and/or shoot-borne roots in a wide range of vascular plants. METHODS A comparative study was carried out on the 123 most common plant species from eroded lands in north-east Spain. After careful excavations in the ...

The propagation of hard-branch cuttings of tetraploid Robinia pseudoacacia (black locust) is restricted by the low rooting rate; however, etiolated juvenile tetraploid black locust branches result in a significantly higher rooting rate of cuttings compared with non-etiolated juvenile tetraploid branches. To identify proteins that influence the juvenile tetraploid branch rooting process, two-dim...

In the present study, an attempt was made to induce rooting from single-node cuttings of hybrid aspen (Populus tremula L. × P. tremuloides Michx.) with different concentrations of Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), Indole-3-Butytric acid (IBA) and 1-Naphthylacetic acid (NAA). Among the three auxins used, 0.54 mM NAA showed more effective induction on rooting as compared to IAA and IBA at the whole lev...

Many of the world's northern peatlands are underlain by rapidly thawing permafrost. Because plant production in these peatlands is often nitrogen (N)-limited, a release of N stored in permafrost may stimulate net primary production or change species composition if it is plant-available. In this study, we aimed to quantify plant-available N in thawing permafrost soils of subarctic peatlands. We ...

Indole acetic acid (IAA) is an important regulator of adventitious rooting via the activation of complex signaling cascades. In animals, carbon monoxide (CO), mainly generated by heme oxygenases (HOs), is a significant modulator of inflammatory reactions, affecting cell proliferation and the production of growth factors. In this report, we show that treatment with the auxin transport inhibitor ...

Adventitious rooting, whereby roots form from non-root tissues, is critical to the forestry and horticultural industries that depend on propagating plants from cuttings. A major problem is that age of the tissue affects the ability of the cutting to form adventitious roots. Here, a model system has been developed using Pisum sativum to differentiate between different interpretations of ageing. ...

The importance of different species of savory is due to having phenolic compounds such as carvacrol and thymol in the essential oil and rosmarinic acid in the extract, having strong antioxidant and antimicrobial effects. This study was conducted on five ecotypes of Satureja rechingeri in in vitro and in vivo experiments. After determining the best shooting and rooting medium, micropropagation w...
