The closed insulated pallet system (CIPS) was evaluated for growth, yield, and
fruit quality of tomato genotypes with determinate growth habit. Plants were irrigated
with several levels of sodium chloride (NaCl) salinized water. Tomato growth and yield
were significantly greater in CIPS than in conventional surface-irrigated containers,
regardless of irrigation...
The phytohormones auxin and cytokinin control plant development through a complex network of interactions which include synergistic, additive, and opposite effects whose mechanisms are unknown. The auxin-insensitive diageotropica (dgt) mutant provided a tool to dissect the relationship between auxin- and cytokinin-induced responses in tomato. Morphological, physiological, and molecular data support...
