Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Global warming impacts several aspects of plant physiology, with important negative effects on crop yield and production of secondary metabolites, such as anthocyanins. The anthocyanin content of vegetables and fruits has attracted public interest in the last two decades due to its health benefits, leading to the development of novel ...

Effects of Wilting Treatment on the Quality of Cabbage Plug Seedlings.
Engei Gakkai zasshi, 2002 The effects of a wilting treatment on the quality of cabbage plug seedlings were investigated. There was a positive correlation between rootball moisture content of 40% or less and a shoot water potential of -1.0 MPa or lower. When seedlings were allowed to wilt to a point where shoot water potential was -1.4 MPa or lower, root ball moisture content ...

Height suppression of tomato plug seedlings by an environment friendly seed treatment of plant growth retardants [PDF]
, 2010 Experiments were conducted to investigate appropriate concentrations of plant growth retardants (PGRs) and duration of seed soaking in order to suppress hypocotyl length and plug seedling height of 2 tomato cultivars ( Lycopersicum esculentum Mill.

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Seed defence priming is emerging as a novel, cost‐efficient and environmentally safe tool for pest management. It has been proposed as a means to uncouple the defence‐growth trade‐off in plants by enhancing defence responses with minimal fitness costs, but the mechanisms underlying this role remain elusive.

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.Restoration of coastal dunes following tropical storm events often requires renourishment of sand substrate dredged from offshore sources, although dredging has well‐described negative ecological impacts and high economic costs. As a potential solution, recycled glass sand (cullet) made from crushed glass bottles has been proposed as a potential ...

Spanish Journal of Agricultural Research, 2015 A doorframe-typed swing seedling pick-up device for automatic field transplanters was developed and evaluated in a laboratory. The device, consisting of a path manipulator and two grippers, can move the pins slowly to extract seedlings from the tray ...

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 8, Page 7510-7525, August 2026.Leaf age influences metabolomic profiling but not bioactivity of Eucalyptus globulus essential oils. Leaf age affects volatile levels of young and adult E. globulus oils, but not their bioactivity. Young leaf essential oil had higher contents of α‐ and β‐pinene. AEEO had higher levels of 1,8‐cineole and trans‐pinocarveol.
