Variation in the impact of stem scar and cuticle on water loss in highbush blueberry fruit argue for the use of water permeance as a selection criterion in breeding [PDF]
, 2017 The role of fruit scar on water loss from fresh harvested, fully blue highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L.) fruit was studied on three germplasm lines from each of three half-sib families at University of Talca, Chile. The stem scar of half of the

Predicting Water Cycle Characteristics from Percolation Theory and Observational Data. [PDF]
, 2020 The fate of water and water-soluble toxic wastes in the subsurface is of high importance for many scientific and practical applications. Although solute transport is proportional to water flow rates, theoretical and experimental studies show that heavy ...

Foliar Accumulation of Melatonin Applied to the Roots of Maize (Zea mays) Seedlings
Biomolecules, 2019 Plants absorb melatonin from the environments as well as they synthesize the regulatory molecule. We applied melatonin to the roots of maize (Zea mays) seedlings and examined its accumulation in the leaves.

Mounding technique improves physiological performance and yield of oil palm on Spodosols
Sains Tanah: Journal of Soil Science and Agroclimatology, 2022 Spodosols have been widely used for oil palm plantations, specifically in Kalimantan, Indonesia. However, they are sub-optimal for agriculture due to a lack of water and nutrient-holding capacity and a spodic layer that limits plant root development ...
