Euphorbia pulcherrima, poinsettia, is a non-food and non-feed vegetatively propagated ornamental plant. Appropriate plant height is one of the most important traits in poinsettia production and is commonly achieved by application of chemical growth retardants. To produce compact poinsettia plants with desirable height and reduce the utilization of growth retardants, the Arabidopsis SHORT INTERN...

introduction bean (vicia faba l.) has the great old history of crop cultivation to date would be pushed back to a fairly long day plant, resistant to frost and cool season crop and up to 5 degrees celsius tolerated. bean prefers wet and cold conditions. excessive heat may cause fetal growth problems, loss and reduce the number of seeds per pod bean flowers to the growth of plant and fruit set o...

Understanding how plant trait-species abundance relationships change with a range of single and multivariate environmental properties is crucial for explaining species abundance and rarity. In this study, the abundance of 94 woody plant species was examined and related to 15 plant leaf and wood traits at both local and landscape scales involving 31 plots in subtropical forests in eastern China....

The research has conducted a comparative study based on structural analysis of some productivity parameters the new lentil collections. In genotypes have been recorded average genetic variation plant height, number seeds in beans, beans per plant, and 100 weight. It was found that 10.8% studied samples were high-yielding (10943, 10946, 10932, Flip 2011-64, 2011-31), 32.6% moderate-yielding, 56....

Non-chemical control of plant growth is an important goal for the production of ornamental pot plants. In the present study the effects of simulated vibration on plant height and some physical and mechanical properties of Coleus stem were investigated. The study was conducted as a factorial experiment based on a completely randomized design with three replications. Vibration stresses were perfo...

chlormequat (cycocel or ccc), the plant growth retardant, was evaluated for its ability to control plant height in brassica oleracea cultivar ‘kamome white’ and ‘nagoya red’. different concentrations of ccc (0, 500, 1000 and 1500 mg/l) were sprayed and drenched on plants 40 days after transplanting. data were recorded the 60 and 90 days after transplanting. the 1500 mg/l of ccc resulted in abou...

Growth characteristics of Cannabis saliva L. are indispensable factors to verify the statements by the criminals of illegal cannabis cultivation. To investigate growth characteristics of C. sativa, two varieties, cannabidiolic acid (CBDA)-rich (CBDA-type) which being cultivated for fiber production and delta9-tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCA)-rich (THCA-type) which is used for drug abuse, were...

In plants, investment in height improves access to light, but incurs costs in construction and maintenance of the stem. Because the benefits of plant height depend on which other height strategies are present, competition for light can usefully be framed as a game-theoretic problem. The vertical structure of the world’s vegetation, which is inefficient for plant growth, can then be understood a...

Vertical growth of plants is a dynamic process that is influenced by genetic and environmental factors and has a pronounced effect on overall plant architecture and biomass composition. We have performed six controlled growth trials of an interspecific Setaria italica x Setaria viridis recombinant inbred line population to assess how the genetic architecture of plant height is influenced by dev...
