BACKGROUND AND AIMS Asymmetric warming is one of the distinguishing features of global climate change, in which winter and night-time temperatures are predicted to increase more than summer and diurnal temperatures. Winter warming weakens vernalization and hence decreases the potential to flower for some perennial herbs, and night warming can reduce carbohydrate concentrations in storage organs...

Branching in plants increases plant access to light and provides pathways for regrowth following damage or loss of the apical meristem. We conducted two experiments in an eastern Kansas tallgrass prairie to determine how apical meristem loss (by clipping), apical meristem damage (by insect galling), and increased light availability affected growth, reproduction, and branching in Silphium integr...

The main source of seed filling results from the photosynthesis green tissue closest to sinks in capitula. To evaluate role different leaf strata and capitula yield its components Safflower genotypes, a field study was performed as factorial experiment based on RCBD 3 replicates East Azarbaijan Agricultural Natural Resources Research Education Center 2008. used factors this were: two genotypes ...

The present investigation was carried out at the experimental farm of Department Seed Science and Technology, Dr YS Parmar University Horticulture Forestry, Nauni, Solan (HP)-173 230 during 2018 2019. treatment modules comprising different doses Jeevamrit applied as drench (25ml/m2, 50ml/m2, 75ml/m2 100 ml/m2) foliar spray (5%, 10%, 15% & 20%) 15 days interval, alternatively + Brahmastra @ ...

Developing sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) seeds were analyzed for their fresh and dry weights, water content and wall components viz. low and high molecular weight xyloglucan and pectic polysaccharides. Seeds from two rows (6th and 12th) differing in their final dry weight and position on the capitulum were selected for the investigation. The dry weight of seed from 6th row was 69 mg while th...

in this paper, the growth and yield of sunflower(helianthus annus l.) in addition to the soil properties are compared and assessed according to three irrigation types. it uses treated municipal wastewater, well water and their equal mixture for irrigation. for this purpose, pot trials are carried out in 4 months having 10 litres volume using completely randomized design with three times replica...

It is well known that injury ofthe capitulum is both common and important in childhood. Although much has been written on the subject, the frequency and importance of premature fusion of the epiphysis has not been fully appreciated. Clinical material-Twenty-eight children suffering from injury to the capitular epiphysis were reviewed. The age at the time of injury varied from three to twelve ye...

A scalp mass surgically excised from a 4-year-old Korean boy was identified as a tick through histological observations. In sections of the mass, characteristic features of a tick, including its gross contour, cuticular structures, well developed musculature and salivary glands, and the capitulum, were discovered. In particular, the capitulum is anteriorly protruded, which strongly suggests tha...
