During the last 10 years the subject of bacterial spore germination has been intensively investigated. In most of these studies it has been found that bacterial spores are capable of germination under conditions which do not permit the germinated form to survive (Schmidt, 1955; Stedman, 1956). Hills (1949) pointed out that a distinction must be drawn between the requirements for germination and...

one of the main problems in crop production in iran is the difference between actual yield and attainable yield which is called yield gap. thus, identifying yield constraints and yield gap are important. to do this, a study was conducted in 95 farms gorgan of in five villages, during two years 2007 and 2008. in this study, all of the information about management operations, soil and crop charac...

In a plant, the progression from vegetative growth to reproductive growth is called the floral transition. Over the past several decades, the floral transition has been shown to be determined not by a single gene but by a complicated gene network. This important biological process, however, has not been investigated at a genome-wide network level. We collected Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana)...

Teopod 2 (Tp2) is a semidominant mutation of maize that prolongs the expression of juvenile vegetative traits, increases the total number of leaves produced by the shoot, and transforms reproductive structures into vegetative ones. Here, we show that Tp2 prolongs the duration of vegetative growth without prolonging the overall duration of shoot growth. Mutant shoots produce leaves at the same r...
