Deciduous Tree Grafting Introduction The Apple Tree, or Malus pumila, is a deciduous tree in the rose family that is best known for its pome fruit, the apple. The most widely cultivated tree within the genus Malus, the Apple Tree has been grown for thousands of years in Asia and Europe and was brought to North America by European Colonists in the 17th century. In 1625, the first apple orchard in North America was planted within the Boston area by Reverend William Blaxton. Typically, a…

Pollination mechanisms of maple tree Blog - TL Meta Description: There is growing interest across Canada to conserve the country’s national tree. This is evident in the decline of sugar maple tree. Caledon Treeland is a leading supplier of trees for sale in Ontario. Maple Trees There are more than 120 different species of the maple trees in the world. The maple trees found in Canada include the Norwegian maple, Red maple, Manitoba maple, Mountain maple, Sugar maple and the Silver maple. Some…

However, individual soybean cultivars often exhibit restricted adaptation to specific agro-climatic environments (Dlamini et. al, 2013). In this regard, the breeding unit of the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) has made remarkable improvement in the development…

The cultivar cocoa, Theobroma cacao L is the family of Sterculiaceae. Cocoa is a dicots, it have two cotyledons, taproot and five floral parts. During seed germination, the initial grow is tap root and followed by hypocotyls up above ground level. It take three…

1.2.2. Influence on nutritional attributes Apple and pear cultivars are well known for being good sources of antioxidant properties, especially for their content of polyphenolic compounds concentrated in their skin. Apples contain natural sugars, organic acids, dietary fiber, minerals and vitamins, whereas pears are good sources of fiber and micronutrients such as chlorogenic acid, flavonols and arbutin (Sinha 2012). In general, pear juice is characterized by similar soluble solids content than…

RESULTS Phytic Acid The concentration of phytic acid was determined spectrophotometrically in three tested plant materials of Gishta as shown in table 2. The concentrations of phytic acid were obtained from 5 g dried leafy material. All the leaf samples contained phytic acid (detection limit 0.025 mg/ml) in this study. This may have been due to the fact that there was a limitation in terms of the detection concentration since concentrations less than mg was not tested. Seed extracts was found…

Polyploidy in plants play a major role in evolutionary and genetic studies. Polyploidy is characterized by the presence of multiple sets of genomes in the same organism. It is one of the major causes of speciation; thus, is it plays a major evolutionary role in angiosperm development. Its genome undergoes remarkable changes in function and structure through genetic and epigenetic changes. Epigenetic changes are mediated by RNA and chromatic remodeling and occur vie regulatory pathways. Genetic…

In nature the plants are exposed to a large number of pathogenic organisms such as insects, fungi, bacteria and viruses. It is then surprising to note that, in spite of the tenure and the absence of an immune system, the death of plants by disease end up being an exceptional situation. This suggests that the defense mechanisms of plant cells, both those constituent as those induced by the presence of the pathogen, are very effective to stop or counter an infection. In addition, it has been…

Heat stress is one of the major abiotic stresses affecting agriculture production worldwide which causes an array of physiological, biochemical and morphological changes in plants. Maize crop is unique among cereals on account of wider flexibility and adaptability in growing conditions, ranging from Kharif, Rabi and Spring seasons. Further, the response of plants to high temperature stress is reflected in apparent morphological traits like leaf firing, tassel blasting etc. The composite…

Introduction The purpose of this manuscript is to have a conversation about California, its droughts, and how agriculture is affected and how it can be amended to survive said droughts. I wish to do so by showing what are essentially what kinds of droughts California has face before. I also want to try and show how some other places have attempted to help themselves through their own methods by going through what they did for those and what they attempted to do in case of other future droughts.…
