Pea (Pisum sativum L.) lines G2 (dwarf) and NGB1769 (tall) (Sn Hr) produce flowers and fruit under long (LD) or short (SD) days, but senesce only under LD. Endogenous gibberellin (GA) levels were inversely correlated with photoperiod (over 9-18 h) and senescence: GA20 was 3-fold and GA1 was 10- to 11-fold higher in flowering SD G2 shoots, and the vegetative tissues within the SD apical bud cont...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS The scarcity and unpredictability of active pollinators during late winter in temperate areas tends to favour extended flowering seasons and increased floral longevity in early blooming species, which are usually pollinated by diverse sets of insects. Daphne laureola is a gynodioecious woody perennial that flowers from January to April in southern Spain, a period characteriz...

Tamarix ramosissima has bi-seasonal flowering and fruit-setting characteristics. This study compared the morphology and germination characteristics of seeds from Tamarix ramosissima plants during the spring flowering period and the summer flowering period. The results are as follows: there is no significant difference in morphology, such as size and thousand-seed weight, between seeds from diff...

Field experiment was carried out during 2020-2021 to study the effect of amino acids and silicon on flowering, fruit characters yield pomegranate cv. Phule Bhagwa Super in a randomized block design with seven treatments which were replicated three times. The Potassium silicate 0.5% (T1), 1.0 % (T2), Amino 150 ppm (T3), 200ppm (T4), 250 (T5), Water spray (T6), Absolute control (T7). Foliar spray...

Abstract The Sidimpuan snake fruit ( Salacca sumatrana Becc.) tree flowers throughout the year. However, fruits are produced seasonally. level of production is directly related to flowering and set. A low formation results in a number that can be harvested. deeper understanding phenology set may help solve problem off-season production, focus this study. study was conducted village Palopat Mari...

Indoor vertical farming is currently a breakthrough horticultural production system. However, for fruit bearing crops such as strawberry, major challenge optimizing light spectral composition to control flowering. We have shown that it possible stimulate flowering and development with different treatments in the day-neutral strawberry accessions Fragaria vesca ‘Yellow Wonder’ YW5AF7 ‘Hawaii-4’....

Phenological changes among plants due to climate change are well documented, but often hard to interpret. In order to assess the adaptive value of observed changes, we study how annual plants with and without growth constraints should optimize their flowering time when productivity and season length changes. We consider growth constraints that depend on the plant's vegetative mass: self-shading...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS The timing of flowering and summer dormancy induction plays a central role in the adaptation of Mediterranean geophytes to changes in the length of the growth season along rainfall gradients. Our aim was to analyse the role of the variation in the responses of flowering and summer dormancy to vernalization, daylength and growth temperature for the adaptation of Poa bulbosa, ...

The fruiting branches of Colutea cilicica Boiss. & Bal., along with leaves and fruits, have been used to heal inflammatory wounds at traditional medicine in various parts of Turkey. In order to evaluate the wound healing activity of the plant, aqueous extracts were prepared from the flowering parts and fruits of Colutea cilicica Boiss. & Bal. by using 40°C distilled water. Incision wound healin...
