The factors that alter the health of the seed are moisture, light, pests, and temperature swings. Keeping seeds stored safely away in a dry, cool spot away from light, moisture, and pests will ensure their safekeeping for next spring. If humidity is a problem, put a little powdered milk ...
Cabello-Hurtado, F., Y. Batard, J. P. Salaun, F. Durst, F. Pinot & D. Werck-Reichart.1998. Cloning, expression in yeast and functional characterization of CYP81B1; a plant cytochrome P450 that catalyses in-chain hydroxylation of fatty acids. Journal of Biological Chemistry 273: 7260–7...
Cis-elements play an important role in regulating gene expression56,57. In the promoter region of about 2000 bp upstream ofHaNACgenes, many cis-acting elements were found, such as light-, methyl jasmonate-, anaerobic-, ABA-, and low temperature-responsive elements, indicating thatHaNACsmay be...
By the coordination of endogenous factors and environmental stimuli, such as circadian clock, photoperiod, light and temperature, an appropriate floral movement rhythm has been established; however, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Results: In our study, we use waterlily as a model which ...
microscopy. Individual cell length and width, as well as the ratio of the cell width to the cell length, were quantified in the C chart. More than 85 cells were randomly selected and quantified in the individual samples. Scale bar, 2.5 mm (a), 25 μm (b). Error bar = SEM (c...
Each line in the heat map represents a DEG, genes are sorted by their difference in expression value (t2 minus t0 or I minus t0) starting with the strongest up- or down regulated gene, respectively; (D) Flow chart of histone marks and expression changes during activation of H3K27me3 ...
This process allowed the creation of a curated collection of sunflower seed samples covering five distinct vitality gradients. Following the completion of the aging treatments, the seeds were left to rest at room temperature for two days, ensuring a uniform internal moisture content across all ...
However, among the environmental factors related to altitude, temperature may considerably impact the ecological adaptability of M. micrantha. Light may also strongly affect the bud differentiation of M. micrantha [24]. We found that the numbers of florets and inflorescences at 900 m were ...
Endodormancy is the stage that perennial plants must go through to prepare for the next seasonal cycle, and it is also an adaptation that allows plants to survive harsh winters. Blueberries (Vaccinium spp.) are known to have high nutritional and commerci
in good weather conditions (i.e., temperature above 15 ◦C, wind speed below 15 km/h and a clear sky) [37]. To be able to offset the effect of flower strips from the background pollinator community, three lots of pan traps were placed in the wheat field, 40 m away from the ...
