Behavioral economics and existentialism both present informative perspectives on human choice. We argue in this article that the dialogue between two approaches can enrich current debate about normative implications of behavioral economics. While suggests our capacity to choose is constrained by cognitive biases environmental influences, emphasizes we (and should) treat ourselves as free ‘becom...

Most chrysanthemum cultivars are self-incompatible, so it is very difficult to create pure lines that are important in chrysanthemum breeding and theoretical studies. In our previous study, we obtained a self-compatible chrysanthemum cultivar and its self-pollinated seed set was 56.50%. It was interesting that the seed set of its ten progenies ranged from 0% to 37.23%. Examination of the factor...

Nicotiana tabacum 46-8 cultivar displays an incompatible interaction with race 0 of Phytophthora parasitica var. nicotianae (Ppn), a fungal pathogen of most tobacco cultivars. At the plant level, incompatibility is characterized by the induction of lipoxygenase (LOX, EC = 1.13.11.12) activity and localized hypersensitive cell death before defense gene activation. To evaluate the involvement of ...

in order to determinate the self–incompatibility and the most suitable pollinizer for esfahan commercial quince cultivar, the effects of four different pollinizer treatments ((km1, pk2, kvd2, nb4), as self pollination and open pollination) on fruit set and quantitative and qualitative characteristics of commercial quince fruits of isfahan were studied in a randomized complete block design with ...

breeding of almond to attain self compatible cultivars is among the objectives followed in almond breeding. early identification of self-compatible genotypes from self-incompatible ones is very important in saving of time and expenses. there are different methods of either classical or molecular nature to recognize self-compatibility in genotypes. in this study, pcr-based method with specific p...
