Sinks, plant organs which depend on the import of assimilates
for growth, play a central role in determining assimilate distribution
patterns within the plant. The strawberry fruit is a strong
sink for dry matter and its effect on carbon partitioning and
assimilation in the plant as well as the mechanism...
Ornamental landscapes require considerable amounts of inputs, including but not limited to irrigation, mowing or pruning, fertilization, and pest management. However, school systems have limited budgets, which reduce their access to resources and labor hours. Therefore, the objective of this project is to identify ground covers that can compete with...
The effect of pressure trunk injections of K₂HPO₄, and K₂SO₄.
solutions on the mineral content, growth, yield and fruit quality of
sweet cherry and mineral content of prune were investigated. A
complimentary study presented in Appendix 1, was conducted to
evaluate the short term effectiveness of K soil amendments, mulching...
The alternate bearing cycle in the 'Barcelona' cultivar poses a
major problem to the filbert industry. This study was conducted to
alleviate this problem in one of two ways: by (1) increased floral
initiation in the "on" year, and (2) increased cluster set in the "off"
year. Growth regulators were...
Coffee trees growing in the Kona district of Hawaii
were treated with different concentrations of either BA,
GA3, or Promalin, and pruned at the time of flowering. No
significant differences in the flowering and fruit ripening
pattern were found. High concentrations (100 mg/1) of
growth regulators decreased fruit fresh weight....
The persistent color (pc) trait in snap bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) belongs to a member of the cosmetic stay-green gene family. It is considered very desirable by snap bean breeders for its impacts on pod quality. Persistent color imparts a uniform dark-green color to pods and expresses in seeds as...
