To explore the quality rootstock which impart better stionic establishment of mango seedlings, we studied comparative effect scion and using three varieties (Sindhri, Chaunsa Neelum) grafted on rootstocks i.e. Ratam, Pado Sindhri. Parameters including seed germination (%), seedling height (cm), leaves rootstock-1, vigor index (SVI), fresh biomass shoot roots (g), dry chlorophyll content (rg), d...

BACKGROUND High-throughput amplicon sequencing spanning conserved portions of microbial genomes (16s rRNA and ITS) was used in the present study to describe the endophytic microbiota associated with three apple varieties, "Royal Gala," "Golden Delicious," and "Honey Crisp," and two rootstocks, M.9 and M.M.111. The objectives were to (1) determine if the microbiota differs in different rootstock...

Translationally Controlled Tumor Protein (TCTP) is an almost ubiquitous protein found in eukaryotes, fundamental for the regulation of development and general growth. The multiple functions of TCTP have been inferred from its involvement in several cell pathways, but the specific function of TCTP is still not known in detail. On the other hand, TCTP seems to respond to a plethora of external si...

Abstract The experiment was conducted in the nursery of Diyala Agriculture Directorate during growing seasons 2021 from March to November study effect growth promoters Humic acid, Atonic and Salicylic acid spray on some chemical vegetative parameters Local bloody orange transplants budded sour rootstock. included two factors, first one cultivars (Local bloody), second promoters(Humic acid). spr...

OBJECTIVES Quantitative evaluation of palpebral dimensions of Japanese residents in Japan and Japanese descendant (Nikkeis) who live in Brazil, in order to define if environmental factors may influence these parameters. METHODS A prospective study evaluating 107 Nikkeis from Brazil and 114 Japanese residents in Japan, aged 20 years or older. Exclusion criteria were those with palpebral positi...

INTRODUCTION Collectively, a team of researchers (Lindow, Dandekar, and Gilchrist) identified, constructed and advanced to field evaluation five novel DNA constructs (Table 1) that, when engineered into grapevines, suppress symptoms of Pierce’s Disease (PD) by a) reducing the titer of Xylella fastidiosa (Xf) in the plant, b) reducing systemic spread of the bacteria or c) blocking Xf’s ability t...

A factorial experiment begun in 1980 included ‘Hamlin’ and ‘Valencia’ sweet-orange scions [Citrus sinensis (L.) Osb.], and Milam lemon (C. jambhiri Lush) and Rusk citrange [C. sinensis x Poncirus trifoliata (L.) Raf.] rootstocks, tree topping heights of 3.7 and 5.5 m, between-row spacings of 4.5 and 6.0 m, and in-row spacings of 2.5 and 4.5 m. The spacing combinations provided tree densities of...

A digital image analysis method previously used to evaluate leaf color changes due to nutritional changes was modified to measure the severity of several foliar fungal diseases. Images captured with a flatbed scanner or digital camera were analyzed with a freely available software package, Scion Image, to measure changes in leaf color caused by fungal sporulation or tissue damage. High correlat...
