Carbonaceous Particles from Candle Soot Enhance Water Absorption and Modulate Starch-Sugar Metabolism in Solanaceae Seed Germination

Caraka Tani: Journal of Sustainable Agriculture
Candle soot is a source of carbonaceous compounds that has been viewed as unwanted air pollution. Few have attempted to apply candle soot in agriculture, specifically for seed germination.

Drivers of Farmers' Contract Compliance Behavior: Evidence From a Case Study of Dangote Tomato Processing Plant in Northern Nigeria

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Contract farming is a viable strategy agribusinesses rely on to strengthen coordination across actors in the value chain. However, low contract compliance remains a significant setback to agribusinesses' contract performance in low‐ and middle‐income country context.

Genome-Wide Identification, Functional Analysis and Expression Profiling of the Aux/IAA Gene Family in Tomato [PDF]

, 2012
Auxin is a central hormone that exerts pleiotropic effects on plant growth including the development of roots, shoots, flowers and fruit. The perception and signaling of the plant hormone auxin rely on the cooperative action of several components,among

High‐elevation endemic plants predicted to lose habitat from changing climate in Washington State

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise High‐elevation plants face unique challenges from potential climate change impacts that will likely require upslope migration into increasingly smaller suitable habitat. This situation is particularly acute for endemic species that by definition occupy small geographic ranges.

Effects of Foliar Application of Gibberellic Acid on the Salt Tolerance of Tomato and Sweet Pepper Transplants

Horticulturae, 2020
Seed germination and early seedling growth are the plant growth stages most sensitive to salt stress. Thus, the availability of poor-quality brackish water can be a big limiting factor for the nursery vegetable industry.

Time‐Resolved Native Mass Spectrometry Reveals Reversible Light‐Driven Oligomerization of Arabidopsis Cryptochrome 1 and Its Antagonism by BIC1

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.
Time‐resolved native mass spectrometry uncovers the blue‐light‐dependent kinetic mechanism of Arabidopsis CRY1 oligomerization, proceeding sequentially from monomers to dimers and tetramers. ATP promotes assembly, whereas BIC1 actively blocks and disassembles tetramers independent of light, providing mechanistic insight into the regulation of ...

The effect of perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne) sowing rates on weed establishment, after one year : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Applied Science in Plant Science at Massey University [PDF]

, 2001
Two trials were conducted to determine whether the weed control benefits of high sowing rates of perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne) continued into the second year after sowing. Seeds of Scotch thistle (Cirsium vulgare), nodding thistle (Carduus nutans),

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

Applications 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

Simulation and Optimization Experiment of Seven-Link Planting Mechanism Based on Discrete Element Method and Multibody Dynamics (DEM–MBD) Coupling

AgriEngineering
To address issues in traditional vegetable transplanter planting mechanisms such as poor hole-forming quality and low seedling uprightness, a seven-bar linkage planting mechanism with posture compensation of seedling entering soil was designed.
