A strong positive relationship between crop size and the number of seeds dispersed and in the number of seeds being dispersed long distance is expected in abiotic dispersal modes such as anemochory and hydrochory and in the biotic dispersal mode epizoochory . However, the expectation is less clear with endozoochory, synzoochoryand myrmecochory, where animal dispersers make …

The enlarged biding sites were then mapped to the CLV3 genomic sequence, tolerating up to 2 mis-matches in the flanking regions. In order to account for the presence of transcription factors whose cis-motifs are not currently known, MEME analysis were employed to identify motifs shared between genes that are co-expressed with CLV3.Overall, 231 potential cis-motifs …

Alternate bearing is also perhaps one of the oldest known plant behaviors, as written descriptions of it can be found going back over several millennia. Most often these references are simple observations of trees that flower in one year but not the next , or as one early account of cider production in England elegantly …
Pruning mature open center fruit trees involves keeping the center free of vigorous upright shoots, reducing tree height, and thinning out branches to reduce crowding. For peaches and nectarines, select 1-year-old lateral fruiting branches that originate close to main branches. Thin these fruiting branches and head them by one-third if they are longer than about 1 …
Daily cycles of light and darkness also promoted maintenance of glucosinolate content during post harvest storage of cabbage . Total glucosinolate content in the cabbage leaf disks stored under light/dark cycles remained stable with no significant fluctuation in levels over the 21 days of analysis . In comparison to total glucosinolate levels in light/dark-stored cabbage, the …

However, the production of H2O2 and phenolic compounds, and higher PPO activity in the translucent tissue were detected specifically in the VB tissues, not in other living non-VB cells after chilling . These data indicated that IB did not randomly occur in any living parenchyma cell but is specific to the phloem. Therefore, if the …

There are striking examples in tomato and other plants where identified genes regulate the development of fruit shape. For example, the OVATE gene in tomato regulates the phenotypic transition from round to pear-shaped fruit . If large-effect mutations underlie differences in strawberry fruit shape, the ordinal classification system proposed here should enable the discovery of …

New LED exit signs are inexpensive, with prices typically starting at around $20. The U.S. EPA’s ENERGY STAR program website provides a list of suppliers of LED exit signs. Tritium exit signs are an alternative to LED exit signs. The advertised lifetime of these signs is around 10 years and prices typically start at around $150 …

In the absence of a steam trap maintenance program, it is common to find up to 15% to 20% of steam traps malfunctioning in a steam distribution system . Energy savings for a regular system of steam trap checks and follow-up maintenance is conservatively estimated at 10% . One industrial case study indicates a payback …
Decide if you need to apply by noting the amount of insect and disease damage during the previous growing season. Treat at the onset of dormancy in late November until delayed dormancy, just before buds begin to open in February or early March. The exact timing during the dormant period can vary depending on the disease …
