Citrus reproductive biology is complex. One of its characteristic features parthenocarpy that enables seedless fruit production. and self-incompatibility knowledge only partial sometimes discrepant. Increasing such relevant for better managing cultivated varieties improving the selection parents in breeding strategies to recover as mandarins. This work develops an efficient protocol characteriz...

Introduction: We have completed a new general unified lunar control network and lunar topographic model based on Clementine images. This photogrammetric network solution is the largest planetary control network ever completed. It includes the determination of the 3-D positions of 272,931 points on the lunar surface and the correction of the camera angles for 43,866 Clementine images, using 546,...

Citrus cultivar identification systems using cleaved amplified polymorphic site and single-nucleotide polymorphism markers have been developed for nursery trees flesh fruits, but time cost efficiency require improvement the inspection process. Here, we a new system InDel marker. Twelve markers, which revealed clear bi-allelic PCR fragment patterns, were selected from 185 markers. Their primer s...

Self-incompatibility is an important evolutionary feature in angiosperms and has major implications for breeding strategies horticultural crops. In citrus, when coupled with parthenocarpy, it enables the production of seedless fruits a mono-varietal orchard. A gametophytic incompatibility system one S locus was proposed but its molecular mechanisms remain subject debate. The objective this work...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Odors can elicit a range of behaviors and emotions. Our purpose was to identify regional activation of the human cerebral cortex in response to pleasant (positive hedonic value) and unpleasant (negative hedonic value) odors. METHODS Thirteen neurologically normal adults underwent functional MR imaging of frontal and anterior temporal brain regions with a gradient-echo e...

Salinity is one of the most destructive environmental challenges for citriculture worldwide, and all climate change scenarios are predicting an increased impact salinity on citrus orchards. Citrus cultivars grown as grafts various rootstocks to provide specific adaptation abiotic stress tolerance major diseases such tristeza virus. To understand rootstock–scion interactions with regard salinity...

Introduction: Knowledge of the surface mineralogy and chemistry of the crust is central to understanding the evolution of the lunar crust. Using the 5-band ultravioletvisible (UVVIS) Clementine data set, Tompkins and Pieters [1] showed that approximate mineralogy could be determined from Clementine data and analyzed 109 impact craters detailing the approximate mineralogy, or rocktypes, of their...
