Flower and fruit development in processing tomatoes : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Horticultural Science in Vegetable Production at Massey University [PDF]
Processing tomato crops are mechanically harvested from a single destructive harvest. The timing of this harvest to coincide with the maximum yield of factory grade fruit is of considerable importance to the efficiency of the field operation.

Summary The oleoresin defense system of loblolly pine (Pinus taeda) protects trees from insects and pathogens and is an important source of renewable biofuels and chemicals, but the genetic basis of oleoresin production is poorly understood. We characterized the genetic architecture of oleoresin flow, resin canal number, stem wood terpene content, and ...

Guard cell photorespiration controls stomata behavior and development
Summary Photorespiration is traditionally viewed as a limitation to photosynthetic efficiency. However, it is mandatory for safeguarding the Calvin–Benson–Bassham cycle from inhibitory byproducts through Rubisco‐mediated oxidative misfire and is tightly integrated with primary metabolism.

Photosynth for trees - supertrees revisited
It's Friday, so time for some random, half-baked ideas. Imagine that we have a database of evolutionary trees, and these overlap for a set of taxa that we are interested in. How do we summarise these trees? One approach is to make a supertree. It would be useful to display the subtrees that went into making this supertree, if only to give an idea of ...

ABSTRACT Plants have evolved highly efficient strategies to maintain iron (Fe) homeostasis. In this study, we investigate the impact of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis on the Fe‐deficiency response and ionomic profile of tomato plants, as well as how Fe availability affects AM symbiosis.

Plant growth regulator and spring nitrogen effects on grass seed crops in western Canada
Abstract Plant growth regulators (PGRs) are used in herbage seed crops to mitigate lodging risk and protect seed yield, though their effects on aging perennial grass stands remain understudied. This study evaluated the effect of PGRs on the agronomic characteristics of herbage seed crops of creeping red fescue (Festuca rubra L.), meadow brome (Bromus ...

Effect of Sink Region Cooling on Translocation of Photosynthate [PDF]
The effect of metabolic inhibition of the sink tissues on translocation of (14)C-labeled photosynthate was studied by cooling part or all of the sink region in a translocating sugar beet plant (Beta vulgaris L. var Klein Wanzleben).When the sink region was cooled, 4 phases were observed: a temporary decline, a period of translocation at the pre ...

The representation of root processes in models addressing the responses of vegetation to global change [PDF]
The representation of root activity in models is here confined to considerations of applications assessing the impacts of changes in climate or atmospheric [CO2].
