Camino Real and Camarosa strawberries in reduced plant spacing by Eduardo Cesar Brugnara, Mauro Porto Colli

“…The objective of this work was to evaluate the hypothesis that they respond differently to reduction in plant spacing and the cultivar ‘Camino Real’ can be planted in higher plant densities with gains in yield. Experiments were conducted in three harvest seasons testing both cultivars in spacing of 30cm between rows and 20 to 40cm between plants. …”

Biomarker identification of isolated compartments of the cell wall, cytoplasm and vacuole from the internodal cell of characean Nitellopsis obtusa by Brigita Gylytė, Sigita Jurkonienė, Reda Cimmperman, Vaidevutis Šveikauskas, Levonas Manusadžianas

“…Cells of characean algae are attractive for plant cell physiologists because of their large size and their close relation to higher plant cells. The objective of our study was to evaluate the purity of the compartments (cell wall, cytoplasm with plastids, mitochondria, nuclei and endomembrane system, and vacuole) separated mechanically from the internodal cells of Nitellopsis obtusa using enzymatic markers. …”

Radiation Interception and Utilization by Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) at Different Sowing Dates and Plant Populations by A. Hussain, M. Nawaz, F. M. Chaudhry

“…The radiation utilization efficiency of seed yield was higher for late sown crops compared to early sown crops- However, the higher efficiency of utilization in late sowing was insufficient to compensate for the significantly lower amounts of intercepted PAR. Higher plant populations increased both the total dry matter and the seed yield due to higher radiation interception and utilization.…”

PENGARUH TAKARAN PUPUK KANDANG TERHADAP PERTUMBUHAN DAN HASIL WIJEN ( Sesamum indicum. L.) DI LAHAN PASIR PANTAI by , MARWANSYAH BARUS, , Ir. Rohlan Rogomulyo M.P.

“…Fertilizer application at the rate of 60 ton/ha produced the highest number of leaves, while the highest plant fresh weight obtained at 80 tons/ha. 40 ton/ha and 80 ton/ha of manure produced the highest crop growth rate (CGR), which resulted in higher plant dry weight. Increasing manure rate did not significantly increase the yield of sesame seeds.…”

Identification of mutants of Arabidopsis defective in acclimation of photosynthesis to the light environment. by Walters, R, Shephard, F, Rogers, J, Rolfe, SA, Horton, P

Hypolignification: a decisive factor in the development of hyperhydricity by Kemat, Nurashikin, Visser, Richard G. F., Krens, Frans A.

“…Lignin is hydrophobic, and we speculate that a reduction in lignin levels leads to more capillary action of the cell wall and consequently to more water in the apoplast. p-coumaric acid is the hydroxyl derivative of cinnamic acid and a precursor for lignin and flavonoids in higher plant. In the present study, we examined the role of lignin in the development of HH in Arabidopsis thaliana by checking the wild-types (Ler and Col-0) and mutants affected in phenylpropanoid biosynthesis, in the gene coding for cinnamate 4-hydroxylase, C4H (ref3-1 and ref3-3). …”
