The present study mainly focuses of combined action of Nepali hog plum as well as citrate synthesized silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and Amikacin, as an antibiotic. The synergistic actions of citrate stabilized silver nanoparticles (AgNPs with chem) were compared with that of Nepali hog plum Choerospondia saxillaris (Lapsi) synthesized silver nanoparticles (AgNPs with plant), together with action...

Article info: Received: 9 April 2014 Accepted: 6 August 2014 ABSTRACT An effective in vitro culture system for mature nodal segments of European plum (Prunus domestica) was established. Several important aspects of regeneration from nodal explants were studied for adaptation of European plum in Bangladesh. Leaf explants were used for callus induction and 1⁄2 MS media supplemented with 1.0 mg/l ...

Comments on the article by E. Brandstätter, G. Gigerenzer, and R. Hertwig. The authors discuss the priority heuristic, a recent model for decisions under risk. They reanalyze the experimental validity of this approach and discuss how these results compare with cumulative prospect theory, the currently most established model in behavioral economics. They also discuss how general models for decis...

The total area used for fruit cultivation in Tunisia is approximately 470,000 ha, producing mainly citrus, grapevine, stone and pome fruits. Stone fruits are cultivated on some 380,000 ha. Among the stone fruits traditionally grown in Tunisia, almond is the most important and widespread crop (310,000 ha). Peach ranks second with about 22,000 ha, while apricot and plum rank third and fourth, bei...

We have designed and implemented a comprehensive study of a major, land-estuarine system in the Acadian biogeographic province in eastern New England (Fig 1). Our goal is to develop a predictive understanding of the long-term response of watershed and estuarine ecosystems at the land-sea interface to changes in climate, land use and sea level and to apply this knowledge to the wise management a...

sent Cephalotaxus to Europe where it was received with interest and appreciation.2 Siebold grew five different Cephalotaxus in his own garden in Japan, along with many other plants he had discovered, cultivating them for their beauty and for evaluation as garden plants. Today, although plum yews are widely considered some of the most beautiful and useful of evergreen conifers, their potential a...

In early summer 1995, we surveyed total system metabolism in the Plum Island estuary. Objectives included (1) estimation of ecosystem metabolism via open-water oxygen measurements, (2) determination of the autotrophic and heterotrophic regions of the estuary, and (3) comparison of the loading of organic carbon from the watershed to measurements of autochthonous production. Metabolism was calcul...

Acta Universitatis Agriculturae et Silviculturae Mendelianae Brunensis, 64(1): 109–114. Due to the substantial damage caused in Hungarian plum orchards by the spread of plum pox virus (PPV), high-yielding, o en self-fertile German, Serbian and Romanian cultiv...

One factor that contributes to a successful fruit tree grafting is the establishment of symplasmic contacts in the graft interface to facilitate the transfer of compounds between scion and stock. Using novel experimental and theoretical approaches we investigated whether the localized incompatibility, experienced in some Prunus grafts, could be related to insufficient plasmodesmal coupling at a...
