Experiment on the bract stripping and crushing device of a corn harvester.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2022
In order to study the mechanism of bract peeling and crushing of a corn harvester, a bract stripping and crushing device was designed that mainly consists of a stripping device, a crushing device, and a frame. The kinematics and dynamics of the roller of

Natural history of four species of Platydracus Thomson (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae) in Heliconia bourgaeana Petersen (Zingiberales: Heliconiaceae) flower bracts [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The insect fauna within inflorescences of Heliconia bourgaeana Petersen (Zingiberales: Heliconiaceae) was evaluated in Parque Metlac, Fortín de las Flores, Veracruz, Mexico between May and October 1995.

Optical structure and function of the white filamentary hair covering the edelweiss bracts

open access: yes, 2007
The optical properties of the inflorescence of the high-altitude ''Leontopodium nivale'' subsp. ''alpinum'' (edelweiss) is investigated, in relation with its submicrometer structure, as determined by scanning electron microscopy.

Fertilization Practice and Foliar-bract Calcium Sprays Reduce Incidence of Marginal Bract Necrosis of Poinsettia

open access: yesHortScience, 1989
Abstract Foliar-bract calcium (Ca) sprays and fertilization practices that altered Ca availability and supply were evaluated for their effect on marginal bract necrosis incidences of ‘Gutbier V-14 Glory’ poinsettia (Euphorbia pulcherrima Willd.). About 90% fewer marginal necrotic lesions were observed on plants receiving an 81% NO3-N and 903-ppm Ca ...

Expanded application to plant reproductive tissues of a branched DNA probe‐based in situ hybridization method

open access: yesApplications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Detecting clear tissue‐ and organ‐specific patterns of gene expression is key to understanding the genetic mechanisms that control plant development. In situ hybridization (ISH) of mRNA is one of the most precise, yet most challenging approaches to gene expression assays.

Journey of water in pine cones [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Pine cones fold their scales when it rains to prevent seeds from short-distance dispersal. Given that the scales of pine cones consist of nothing but dead cells, this folding motion is evidently related to structural changes.

Enabling the study of gene function in gymnosperms: Virus‐induced gene silencing in Ephedra tweedieana

open access: yesApplications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise As the sister clade to angiosperms, extant gymnosperms are crucial for reconstructing ancestral gene regulatory networks in seed plants. This highlights the need for model systems representing each of their distinct lineages. However, tools to quickly and effectively investigate gene function in gymnosperms are still limited due to the

Morphological characterization of asiatic cotton (G. arboreum) germplasm of India

open access: yesElectronic Journal of Plant Breeding, 2018
A set of 816 accessions of desi cotton (G.arboreum) were evaluated in augmented design 1 during Kharif 2015-16. Traits namely stem color, leaf size, leaf lobbing, leaf shape, leaf color, petal color, bract size, boll shape, boll size, leaf nectaries, and
