A Morphological And Anatomical Characterization Of Leaf Burn Induced From Foliar Applied Nutrients (1982)Foliar applied nutrients have been used to overcome nutrient deficiencies on a variety of crops; however, leaf burn is often a problem. Zea mays plants were treated with 12% N from urea to study the leaf burn phenomenon. ...

(2019-11-26)Coffee, especially the Arabica species (Coffea arabica), represents a crucial source of income for millions of producers globally, and is especially important to resource-poor populations in Central America. The coffee ...
-
(2014-08-01)The goal of this study is to develop a management tool for producing high quality, more stress tolerant vegetable transplants and for prolonging transplant marketability. This study primarily involves physiological and ...
-
(2011-02-22)The wild origin, early breeding history, and diversity of the China Rose group, including R. chinensis and its varieties, cultivars, and hybrids, are largely unknown. The aims of this study were to investigate the genetic ...
-
(2022-04-14)Vine decline disease (VDD) caused by the fungus Monosporascus cannonballus, is a major threat to melons (Cucumis melo L.) production worldwide. Resistance has been identified in some melon accessions, yet little is known ...
-
(2012-02-14)This dissertation investigates the role of limonoids in inflammation to reduce risk of breast cancer and cardiovascular disease. Radical scavenging activity and apoptotic effects of extracts from lemon seeds were investigated ...
-
(2009-05-15)Commercial varieties of peaches and plums contain a mixture of phenolics that may possess anticancer activity. Our objectives were to evaluate extracts from a commercial variety of yellow fleshed peach "Rich Lady" (RL) and ...
-
(2022-07-20)Improving crop production with higher resource use efficiency and mitigating plant growth in abiotic stress scenarios are among the main targets for sustainable agriculture. Humic substances (HS), a type of plant biostimulants, ...
-
(2014-04-24)The expression of genes that control iron (Fe) uptake and distribution (i.e., Fe utilization- related genes) is under a strict regulation. Fe deficiency strongly induces Fe utilization- related gene expression; however, ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)High bicarbonate (HCO3-) content and associated high pH of irrigation water is detrimental to plant growth. Sustain ableagricultural/horticultural production will increasingly have to rely on economically feasible and ...
-
(2021-07-19)Spinach (Spinacia oleracea) is an economically important leafy vegetable crop. Ascorbic acid (AsA), or vitamin C, is an essential nutrient for humans, involved in growth, development, and tissue repair. In plants, AsA ...
-
(2019-06-13)The purpose of this research is to provide decision-makers of publicly managed landscapes with a systematized assessment of existing decision-support tools that can estimate environmental, social, and economic impacts. ...
-
(2020-06-11)Water is becoming scarcer as the world population increases and will be allocated among competing uses. The strain on potable water supplies heightens the competition for water resources and potentially reduces demand for ...
-
(2017-12-04)Organic matter-derived soil amendments containing humic substances (HS) play a functional role in improving plant root growth and soil quality, but their interaction with water deficit levels is unknown. In this study, ...
-
(2021-07-08)Greenhouse production uses large amount of peat moss, which causes environmental and economic concerns. Using biochar (BC), a by-product of pyrolysis, to replace peat moss for greenhouse production could potentially address ...
-
(2011-10-21)In addition to AtCPL1-4, the genome of Arabidopsis thaliana encodes a large number of putative acid phosphatases. The predicted Arabidopsis SCP1-like small phosphatases (SSP) are highly homologous to the catalytic domain ...
-
(2022-08-03)Crapemyrtle Bark Scale (Acanthococcus lagerstroemiae; CMBS) is an invasive pest species that causes aesthetic and economic damage to crapemyrtles and poses potential threats to other horticultural crops in the United States. ...
-
(2010-01-14)Plants contain a host of secondary metabolites that may be of dietary use to man. A comprehensive approach to plant-based nutrition would include investigating all aspects of a nutrient, from creation through storage and ...
-
(2016-08-04)Roses (Rosa × hybrida) have been one of the most popular decorations for entertainment and ceremonies for the past 5,000 years, and have been used in the fragrance, medicinal, and food industry. Heat stress is one of the ...
-
(2014-07-13)Muskmelon (Cucumis melo L.) genotypes belonging to reticulatus and inodorus groups were evaluated under natural and modified field-environments. In the genotype × environment interactions studies, yield and fruit quality ...
