ABSTRACT The study aimed to evaluate the growth of ornamental cherry tomato plants in different protected environments and reflective materials on cultivation benches. As there were no repetitions environments, each environment was considered an experiment. In environment, experimental design used completely randomized with five replications three per plot. From analysis individual variances ev...

The effect of pre and post-anthesis shading (20% of incident radiation) on pericarp development, cotyledon cell number and seed growth dynamic of fruits from three positions in the capitulum (peripheral, mid and central) of two sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) genotypes were studied at two locations. Both shading treatments reduced pericarp weight, fruit volume and total yield per plant. Plants...

Abstract: In this study, the effective solar irradiation on PV surface, electricity generation, and performance ratios of a small-scale system were investigated for 100 kW on-grid in Konya, Turkey, by PVsyst software. Five different azimuth angles as -30°, -15°, 0°, 15°, 30° no-shading simulations with fixed optimum tilt angle 33°. As result, highest radiation comes to an 0° 1966.4 kWh/m², whic...

The use of Bezier curves and Bezier triangles has been extensively explored in the field of computer graphics. The purpose of this paper is to show that Bezier triangles and curves can be used for reducing the cost of Biquadratic Phong shading. A shading algorithm has been proposed which uses quadratic Bezier triangle’s blending functions for performing quadratic interpolation of normal vector ...

Shading and mechanical stress (MS) modulate plant architecture by inducing different developmental pathways. Shading results in increased stem elongation, often reducing whole-plant mechanical stability, while MS inhibits elongation, with a concomitant increase in stability. Here, we examined how these organ-level responses are related to patterns and processes at the cellular level by exposing...
