Performance of Annona Plants Subjected to Different Graft Combinations, Soil Types and Iron Fertilization

AGRIVITA Journal of Agricultural Science, 2022
In the last decade, annona crop was introduced to Lebanon. This experiment was conducted to enhance the adaptation of annona to local conditions. Three scion/rootstock combinations were obtained from self– and cross– cleft grafting of Annona squamosa (Sq)

From Waste to Value: Conversion of Calcium Sulfate to Vaterite via Carbon Capture and Storage

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study introduces a new concept for carbon management that relies on the carbonation of industrial gypsum waste and yields phase‐pure vaterite at ambient conditions without any additives. The obtained vaterite is further shown to be a reactive material that develops compressive strength in aqueous suspensions like conventional cements.

Asymmetric reproductive interference: The consequences of cross‐pollination on reproductive success in sexual–apomictic populations of Potentilla puberula (Rosaceae)

Ecology and Evolution, 2018
Apomixis evolves from a sexual background and usually is linked to polyploidization. Pseudogamous gametophytic apomicts, which require a fertilization to initiate seed development, of various ploidy levels frequently co‐occur with their lower‐ploid ...
