In this study, the effects of different pruning heights and number of branches left were evaluated to determine the most effective pruning height and optimum number of branches to be left after branch thinning to increase seed yield production of Jatropha curcas. The experiment, which was conducted at the MMSU Experimental Station from 2009-2011, was laid-out in Split plot design and was replic...

Grapevine reproductive development extends over two growing seasons (vegetative cycles), for the complete formation of inflorescences and clusters. Induction floral differentiation, mechanism that leads to structures inside dormant buds, is a complex process divided into three well-defined stages (formation anlagen, inflorescence primordia flowers). This sequence comprises morphological, bioche...

A major aspect of postembryonic plant development is the formation of secondary axes of growth: vegetative branches, inflorescence branches, or flowers. The first step in side-shoot development is the establishment of lateral meristems in the axils of leaves. GRAS-, MYB-, and bHLH-type transcription factors act as key regulators of early steps in this process. The REVOLUTA subfamily of HD-ZIP t...

Microscopic bud dissection can be used to assess grapevine fruitfulness prior winter pruning and long before actual measured in the vineyard following spring. Bud dissections should performed by qualified trained personnel because inflorescence primordia are difficult distinguish some varieties. In Puglia region, Southeastern Italy, 2018 2019, potential using observed were compared for seventee...

The present Research was conducted To evaluate the response of lilium by GA3, IAA and Ethrel to analyse growth yield under polyhouse in Prayagraj agro climatic condition. experiment layout Randomized block design (RBD) with 13 treatments each treatment replicated thrice. carried out during November, 2021 February, 2022 Field, Department Horticulture, SHUATS, Prayagraj. consist different concent...

A breeding program has been developed since 1994 (done by Dr A. Trigui), by controlled pollinations of the Tunisian olive oil variety Chemlali Sfax in order to improve the qualities of this variety (higher oil percentage and a better chemical composition). These controlled pollinations have produced a population of new genotypes presented a wide genetic diversity which was very interesting for ...
