Flowering and vegetative growth were assessed in 19 half-sib families of Alnus rubra Bong. planted in a replicated field trial near Olympia, Washington, USA. The trial consisted of three square spacings (0.5, 1.0 and 2.0 m), two irrigation regimes (low and high), and two fertilization treatments (0 and 300 kg P ha(-1)). Male and female flowers were surveyed in all plots for all families at plan...

Purpose: To evaluate the phytochemical profile as well as in vitro antioxidant, iron-chelating, and antiglucosidase activities of Typha domingensis Pers. (Typhaceae) Methods: Total polyphenols, flavonoids, hydroxycinnamic acids, and pro-anthocyanidins in the respective aqueous extracts of male and female flowers, and fruit of T. domingensis were determined by established procedures. Antioxidant...

In strawberry ( Fragaria × ananassa ), initial bare-root crown diameter and early-season flower cluster removal have been two factors suspected of influencing fruit yield size. This study evaluated the effect these on day-neutral varieties Monterey Cabrillo. Bare-root crowns with three different diameters were categorized into small (< 0.5 cm), medium (> to 1 large cm) at planting. Each t...
