Article info: Received: 9 April 2014 Accepted: 6 August 2014 ABSTRACT An effective in vitro culture system for mature nodal segments of European plum (Prunus domestica) was established. Several important aspects of regeneration from nodal explants were studied for adaptation of European plum in Bangladesh. Leaf explants were used for callus induction and 1⁄2 MS media supplemented with 1.0 mg/l ...

Comments on the article by E. Brandstätter, G. Gigerenzer, and R. Hertwig. The authors discuss the priority heuristic, a recent model for decisions under risk. They reanalyze the experimental validity of this approach and discuss how these results compare with cumulative prospect theory, the currently most established model in behavioral economics. They also discuss how general models for decis...

In unstable environmental conditions, research on replacing pesticides with high consumption rates modern ones lower rates, determining their effect productivity and biometric indicators of a culture is relevant. The goal the was to evaluate use fungicides inorganic copper compounds as main xenobiotics in apple plum agroecosystems Krasnodar Territory development elements energy-saving protectio...

Fruit textural characteristics can affect the storage, transportation, and processing of plum ( Prunus salicina Lindl) in commercial production. We analyzed 23 cultivars with marked differences fruit traits. Basic physicochemical indicators fruits were determined using puncture testing texture profile analysis. Furthermore, through combined application cluster analysis principal component analy...

We have designed and implemented a comprehensive study of a major, land-estuarine system in the Acadian biogeographic province in eastern New England (Fig 1). Our goal is to develop a predictive understanding of the long-term response of watershed and estuarine ecosystems at the land-sea interface to changes in climate, land use and sea level and to apply this knowledge to the wise management a...

sent Cephalotaxus to Europe where it was received with interest and appreciation.2 Siebold grew five different Cephalotaxus in his own garden in Japan, along with many other plants he had discovered, cultivating them for their beauty and for evaluation as garden plants. Today, although plum yews are widely considered some of the most beautiful and useful of evergreen conifers, their potential a...

In early summer 1995, we surveyed total system metabolism in the Plum Island estuary. Objectives included (1) estimation of ecosystem metabolism via open-water oxygen measurements, (2) determination of the autotrophic and heterotrophic regions of the estuary, and (3) comparison of the loading of organic carbon from the watershed to measurements of autochthonous production. Metabolism was calcul...

Acta Universitatis Agriculturae et Silviculturae Mendelianae Brunensis, 64(1): 109–114. Due to the substantial damage caused in Hungarian plum orchards by the spread of plum pox virus (PPV), high-yielding, o en self-fertile German, Serbian and Romanian cultiv...

One factor that contributes to a successful fruit tree grafting is the establishment of symplasmic contacts in the graft interface to facilitate the transfer of compounds between scion and stock. Using novel experimental and theoretical approaches we investigated whether the localized incompatibility, experienced in some Prunus grafts, could be related to insufficient plasmodesmal coupling at a...

Plum pox virus (PPV) is the most damaging viral pathogen of stone fruits. The detection and identification of its strains are therefore of critical importance to plant quarantine and certification programs. Existing methods to screen strains of PPV suffer from significant limitations such as the simultaneous detection and genotyping of several strains of PPV in samples infected with different i...
