The biochemical composition of wood, bark, and leaves is different, and this difference will inevitably project to products from the pyrolysis of different parts of a tree. In this study, different tissues of the same poplar tree (wood, bark, and leaves) were pyrolyzed to probe the characteristics...

Tea tree (Camellia sinensis) is a very typical aluminium (Al) concentrating plant, which is mainly enriched in the leaves. In order to analyze the characteristics of Al content in tea leaves, this paper explored the accumulation characteristics of Al in tea leaves using mature leaves of the high-Al ...

To explore the relationship between duration or intensity of sunlight and the yield of grape harvest. The light durations and intensities recorded in the summer fruit growing season with those provided by meteorological department were analyzed. Light saturation point and light compensation point...

Olive leaves are important by-products for the recovery of phenolic compounds and extracts with high phenolic content using lactic acid bacteria during fermentation. Lactiplantibacillus plantarum (L. plantarum) strains as glucosidase-positive strains are starter cultures used to control the...

Premise: The specialized metabolites of plants are recognized as key chemical traits in mediating the ecology and evolution of sundry plant-biotic interactions, from pollination to seed predation. Intra- and interspecific patterns of specialized metabolite diversity have been studied extensively in ...

Euphorbia gypsicola (Euphorbiacea, sect. Pithyusa) is one of the six endemic gypsophyte species in the west of Semnan Province, Iran, and E. bungei (sect. Sclerocyathium) is native to the gravelly calcareous or gypseous slopes in southwest Asia. In this study, the adaptability of these two species...

The synergistic effect of leaf count for flower induction was investigated in mango cv. 'Himampasand' under Ultra High Density Plantation. The trees are grown in tropical conditions in Tamil Nadu, India, and the trial was conducted by adopting a Factorial Randomized Block Design (FRBD) with three...

We previously showed that chronic warming plus elevated carbon dioxide (eCO₂) causes extreme upward bending of leaflets and petioles (i.e., hyponasty) in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum), which reduces growth. In that study, only two levels of CO₂ (400, 700 ppm) and temperature (30, 37°C) were tested...

Evergreen leaves of Rhododendron species inhabiting temperate/montane climates are typically exposed to both high radiation and freezing temperatures during winter when photosynthetic biochemistry is severely inhibited. Cold-induced "thermonasty", that is, lamina rolling and petiole curling, can...

In this work, bismuth silicate-titania has been synthesized in two stages by utilizing bismuth oxynitrate as an elemental source of bismuth, oil palm leaves (OPL) as a source of silica and titanium tetraisopropoxide (TTIP) as source of titania (TiO₂). In the first stage, bismuth silicate/silica (Bi...
