Low- and High-Temperature Tolerance and Acclimation for Chlorenchyma versus Meristem of the Cultivated Cacti Nopalea cochenillifera, Opuntia robusta, and Selenicereus megalanthus [PDF]
Journal of Botany, Volume 2011, Issue 1, 2011., 2011 Dividing meristematic cells are thought to be more sensitive to extreme temperatures compared to other tissues, such as chlorenchyma. This was examined for low and high temperatures for three widely cultivated cacti: Nopalea cochenillifera, Opuntia robusta, and Selenicereus megalanthus.

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 9, Issue 5, Page 2390-2401, May 2021., 2021 The study first surveyed on dragon fruit farmers on measures to stimulate flowering in commercial dragon fruit farming in three provinces of Vietnam. We then modified emission spectra of Compact Fluorescent Lamps and used them in field experiments. One improved low‐power CFL bulb showed flowering induction capability comparable to the incandescent bulb.
