13. To point to the location of (game) by holding a fixed body position. Used of a hunting dog. 14. Botany To produce, as after pollination: set seed. v.intr. 1. To disappear below the horizon: The sun set at seven that evening. 2. To diminish or decline; wane: when the glory...
In sessile organisms, the density problem is severe, which explains why, for example, flowering plants invest so much into the development of insect-attracting flowers or into adaptations to wind pollination. Consequently, density dependence is balanced again by specialization of tissues. (4) The ...
Pollination occurs during the flowering stage. While most commercially grown grapevines are self-pollinating, wild ones are not and require insects to pollinate the flowers. In addition, this stage is when fertilization and seed set occur, forming tiny dots that will become seeds and fruit. ...
Integrating urban green infrastructure (UGI) into cities is receiving increasing attention owing to its potential to provide various urban ecosystem services (UES). This review assesses the multifaceted services of UGI as benefits and co-benefits. By combining systematic and narrative review processes, ...
Maize (Zea mays), in contrast, is a species that naturally reproduces by cross-pollination, primarily but not exclusively as a result of having separate male and female flowers on the same plant (monoecious). However, it is also easy to self-pollinate and proved suitable for both genetical...
Sterility and low seed set in bananas is the main challenge to their conventional genetic improvement. The first step to seed set in a banana breeding program depends on pollination at the right time to ensure effective fertilization. This study aimed at
What that means, Archuleta says, is the higher the soil fertility — which is the “food” of the soil — the faster soil microbes release carbon dioxide when it rains. “The theory is if we can predict that we can help estimate how much mineralization is going to occur,” he says. ...
This cements a tradition of cross-pollination with Amplitude games —Civ VI’s districts system seemed clearly inspired byEndless Legend. Finally, some mechanics appear entirely new to the historical 4X genre. These include: The concept of endgame crises from games such asStellaris,Total War: Atti...
and this included weekly pruning to remove the lowest three leaves and any extraneous growth (side shoots/suckers). Plants were attached to training ties hanging from the ceiling, and the ties were let out as necessary. To ensure pollination, plants were shaken in the morning three times per ...
