in order to study the sensitivity of vegetative growth to water deficit stress of a late-maturing peach (prunus persica l. cv. elberta) under orchard conditions, an experiment was conducted as randomized complete-block design with three treatments and four repetitions in shahdiran commercial orchard in mashhad during 2011. three irrigation treatments including 360 (low stress), 180 (moderate st...

Enhancing energy cane biomass production can increase feedstock supply for lignocellulosic-based ethanol production. This study was conducted at the Louisiana State University Agricultural Center (LSU AgCenter) Sugar Research Station in St. Gabriel, LA, from 2013 to 2015 evaluate yield, fiber composition, and nutrient removal rate of harvested different dates. The treatments included two cultiv...

The high harvest losses associated with the mechanical harvesting of maize in China are currently a major barrier to adoption this technology. This paper summarizes works literature regarding from combine and abroad. main findings as follows: (1) In 2012-2019, 2987 samples data obtained production areas showed that average loss was 345.2 kg/hm2 (3.5% yield), ranging 0 9288.5 kg/hm2; (2) mainly ...

Abstract Phyto-hormones play a key role in regulating plant responses to stress. Cytokines are type of phyto-hormones involved the regulation many important biological processes related growth, development, and response environmental variables. The exogenous application cytokines increases possibility delaying senescence; however, this is physiological process, and, under certain conditions, de...

Differential rates of water loss were achieved in picked avocado (Persea americana Mill.) fruits, either by controlling the evaporation rate or by supplying water through the fruit stalk. A negative linear correlation was found between the daily rate of water loss from fruits and their ripening, as determined by the time from harvest to peak of ethylene production. Ripening rate was hastened by...

The aim of this study was to analyze sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum) biometric and technological data, obtained at different timepoints, using path analysis. The experiment was conducted in União, PI, Brazil, and evaluated 12 sugarcane genotypes (RB036066, RB9438, RB935744, RB021764, RB021754, RB021534, RB966229, RB977540, RB863129, and RB987935, and the varieties RB92579 and RB867515 as cont...

The eyes of stalk-eyed flies (Diopsidae) are positioned at the end of rigid peduncles (‘stalks’) protruding laterally from the head. Eye-stalk length varies within the family and, in some species, varies between males and females. Larger eye-stalks in males result from sexual selection for longer stalks, a trait that increases male reproductive success. In the present study, we examined whether...
