Gene expression in plant lipid metabolism in Arabidopsis seedlings [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Events in plant lipid metabolism are important during seedling establishment. As it has not been experimentally verified whether lipid metabolism in 2- and 5-day-old Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings is diurnally-controlled, quantitative real-time PCR ...

Interactions between maternal provisioning and natural selection on seed mass fluctuate across heat waves

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Changing climates are leading to more frequent and severe heat waves, potentially threatening plant populations. Both acclimation to stress and selection for heat‐escape or heat‐resistance phenotypes occur during heat waves. However, plastic responses and selection do not necessarily interact cohesively—even producing trait responses ...

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

open access: yesAgriEngineering
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.

Effect of Coriaria arborea on seed banks during primary succession on Mt Tarawera, New Zealand [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
An experiment was conducted over two years to investigate the effect of Coriaria arborea, a native nitrogen-fixing shrub, on soil seed banks at sites representing a post-volcanic successional sequence on Mt Tarawera, New Zealand.

Success of coastal sage scrub restoration is influenced by local adaptations of shrub species

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Restoring plant communities is increasingly challenging with climate change. While practitioners have traditionally used local seed sources, many are recommending assisted migration, possibly from more extreme environments such as inland rather than coastal environments, for restoration.

Pulp or Potential? Magneto-Priming as a Seed Priming Technique Has Little Effect on Seedling Performance but Results in Significant Alteration of trans-Zeatin and cis-Zeatin in Soybean (Glycine max)

open access: yesInternational Journal of Plant Biology
Magneto-priming (MP) has been reported as a sustainable method to enhance crop yield and resistance to adverse environmental conditions; however, any physiochemical basis for these findings remains unavailable. In the present study, soybean (Glycine max)

Characteristics and Seedling Establishment of Rice Nursling Seedlings

open access: yesJapan Agricultural Research Quarterly: JARQ, 2004
A "rice nursling seedling" is the youngest stage of rice seedling transplanted by machine in Japan, and is defined as a seedling of 2 to 3 plant age in leaf number. However, changes in morphological and physiological characteristics of the seedling during this stage of development are not fully understood.

Inoculation of young pine seedlings with Peridermium pini from north-east Scotland

open access: yes, 1995
Seedlings of Pinus sylvestris, P. nigra ssp. laricio, and P. mugo vars mughus, rostrata and pumilio were inoculated at their cotyledon stage with aeciospores of Peridermium pint from north-east Scotland.

Exposure to heat waves and drought improves subsequent leaf heat tolerance for five oak species in southern California

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Given the threats of climate change, we investigated the impact of high temperatures separately and in combination with reduced soil water on leaf heat tolerance for five oaks (Fagaceae) with overlapping ranges in southern California, USA: Quercus agrifolia and Q. chrysolepis (evergreen species), Q. douglasii and Q.

Exogenous Sucrose Enhances Growth and Physiological Performance of Tomato Seedlings Under Suboptimal Light Conditions in Passive Greenhouses

open access: yesHorticulturae
Tomato is an important crop worldwide. Commonly, the production process is initiated in nurseries that provide seedlings to greenhouse growers. Many factors influence crop production, one of which is the seedlings’ quality.
