Abstract Sweet chestnut forests in Bosnia and Herzegovina are underrepresented the total forest fund, their area is declining today. The research aims to determine correlation relations of morphological traits leaves, fruit cupule population Bosnian Krajina (northwestern Herzegovina) undertake selection breeding activities. Eleven fruits, leaves cupules were measured, seven assessed six calcula...

A novel protocol for indirect shoot organogenesis of Adhatoda vasica was developed using petiole explants derived from mature shrubby plants. Media with concentrations of cytokinins in combination with auxins were used to induce callus formation in two explants types: petiole and leaf segment. The frequency of callus formation from petiole and leaf segment explants on Murashige and Skoog (MS) b...

Abstract This study aimed to (1) characterized sago palms with different trunk formation times; (2) studied the growth characteristics related diameter of trunk. research was conducted at Sago Cultivation Experimental Site located in Pengkajoang Village, West Malangke District, North LuwuRegency.Thegrowth characters were number leaves, diameter, leaf length,petiole length, tree height,rachis su...

Leaf area measurements in the field are very difficult to determine yield. Use of mobile application has come fore due its practical use and ease transportation. Therefore, this study, accuracy were tested by determining leaf with an automatic meter a called 'PETIOLE'. The alfalfa plants (Medicago sativa L. cv Nimet) grown field, measured 'PETIOLE' laboratory conditions automatically measuremen...

Nitrogen (N) management is critical in optimizing potato yield and quality and reducing environmental pollution. Six N rates from 34 to 270 kg ha , and different timing of N application were used in a 3-year field experiment to contrast SPAD-502 chlorophyll meter and QuickBird satellite imagery data against the conventional petiole sampling technique for assessing canopy N status. Overall treat...

We report physiological, anatomical and molecular differences in two economically important grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) cultivars cv. Grenache (near-isohydric) and Chardonnay (anisohydric) in their response to water-stress induced cavitation. The aim of the study was to compare organ vulnerability (petiole and stem) to cavitation by measuring ultrasonic acoustic emissions (UAE) and percent lo...

Vegetative storage protein (VSP) and VSP mRNA levels in soybean (Glycine max) leaves correlated with the amount of NH(4)NO(3) provided to nonnodulated plants. The mRNA level declined as leaves matured, but high levels of N delayed the decline. This is consistent with the proposed role for VSP in the temporary storage of N. Wounding, petiole girdling, and treatment with methyljasmonate (MeJA) in...

Plants respond to neighbor shade by increasing stem and petiole elongation. Shade, sensed by phytochrome photoreceptors, causes stabilization of PHYTOCHROME INTERACTING FACTOR proteins and subsequent induction of YUCCA auxin biosynthetic genes. To investigate the role of YUCCA genes in phytochrome-mediated elongation, we examined auxin signaling kinetics after an end-of-day far-red (EOD-FR) lig...

Amorphophallus campanulatus (Elephant Foot Yam) is a rich source of starch, essential amino acids and therefore, used as a vegetable. It is cultivated and utilized in various regions of South India. Triazole compounds are widely used systemic fungicides to control diseases in plants and animals. Many of the triazole compounds have both fungi toxic and plant growth regulating properties. Hence, ...
