Delay of Cucumber Senescence and Life‐Extending Capabilities on Caenorhabditis elegans With the Postharvest Application of Sorbitol and Methyl Salicylate

AgriFood: Journal of Agricultural Products for Food, EarlyView.
Methyl salicylate and sorbitol were taken as coating agents. Caenorhabditis elegans was taken as an animal model. The coated agents were applied in C. elegans. The life span study in C. elegans proves the authenticity of MS and SL. MS and SL extended the post‐harvest life of cucumber for 14 days.

Studies on the Settling of Transplanted Rice Seedlings.

Japanese Journal of Crop Science, 1958
In the previous findings by the authors, it was shown that the settling ability of lowland nursery seedlings was generally lower than that of upland ones both in early and late transplanting cultures of rice plants. More detailed studies were made on the aspect by the same authors.

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

Foliar N Supplementation Improves Rapeseed Transplanting Survival Rate and Yield

Agronomy
Transplanting shock induced by mechanical transplanting technique in dry land has a negative effect on the growth and grain yield of rapeseed (Brassica napus L.). We hypothesized that foliar nitrogen (N) supplementation plays a positive role in improving

Dynamics of biotic resistance to plant invasions

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biotic resistance, the reduction in invasion success caused by native communities, plays an important role in the long‐term dynamics of biological invasions. A large body of empirical research on biotic resistance has accumulated since the last comprehensive review on the subject 20 years ago, enabling us to achieve a refined understanding of ...

Design and Testing of a Seedling Pick-Up Device for a Facility Tomato Automatic Transplanting Machine

Sensors
At present, tomato transplanting in facility agriculture is mainly manual operation. In an attempt to resolve the problems of high labor intensity and low efficiency of manual operation, this paper designs a clip stem automatic transplanting and seedling

Transplants do better than seedlings, and …

The Forestry Chronicle, 1973
De 1957 à 1962, en Ontario, bon nombre de plantations ont été établies afin de comparer les taux de survie et de croissance des semis et des repiqués de différents âges des épinettes blanche et noire de même que des pins rouge et blanc. Le présent rapport relate les mesures en hauteur et la survie enregistrées après la première décennie. Les épinettes

Business and Biodiversity: Scaling Conservation Enterprises Within and Beyond Place for Transformative Change

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Transformative change is required to address persistent and systemic drivers of biodiversity loss. There is an urgent need for innovative solutions that tackle root causes in place‐specific contexts. Evidence indicates that small, innovative, purpose‐driven businesses can serve as vehicles for developing place‐based solutions.

Effect of transplanting date and age of seedlings on growth, yield and quality of hybrids under system of rice (Oryza sativa) intensification and their effect on soil fertility

The Indian Journal of Agricultural Sciences, 2016
A field experiment to study the effect of transplanting date and age of seedlings on growth, yield and quality of rice hybrids under SRI and their effect on soil fertility was conducted on sandy-clay loam soil at Varanasi during rainy (kharif) seasons of
