This study sought to analyze and compare the growth parameters of the two standard chrysanthemum varieties of 'Baekma' and 'Iwanohakusen' using the Gompertz and the expolinear growth function to obtain dynamic growth data for a crop growth model and a big data analysis. The photoperiod was...

The aim of this study was to isolate and identify Antarctica microalgae collected through the National Antarctic Science Expedition and to examine the growth responses and biochemical contents of Chlorella variabilis under cold and temperate cultivation conditions in growth medium consisting of...

Citrus is one of the most widely grown fruits worldwide, cultivated in over 130 countries, primarily in tropical and subtropical climates. Implementing successful and dependable breeding programs is crucial for addressing rising demands for adequate fruit performance and productivity. Our...

Plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) can promote plant growth in various ways, allowing PGPB to replace chemical fertilizers to avoid environmental pollution. PGPB is also used for bioremediation and in plant pathogen control. The isolation and evaluation of PGPB are essential not only for...

The aim of this work was to study the capability and mechanism of enhancing the yield of pulcherriminic acid (PA) produced by Metschnikowia citriensis FL01 with the help of tryptophan for the control of postharvest diseases on citrus caused by Penicillium italicum, Geotrichum citri-aurantii and ...

Background: Nitrogen (N) is an essential macronutrient for plant growth and development. To support agricultural production and enhance crop yield, two major N sources, nitrate and ammonium, are applied as fertilizers to the soil. Although many studies have been conducted on N uptake and signal...

Plant growth and immunity are tightly interconnected. Oligogalacturonic acids (OGs) are pectic fragments and have been well investigated in plant immunity as a damage-associated molecular pattern. However, little is known regarding how OGs affect plant growth. Here, we reveal that OGs inhibit the ...

This study aims to determine the growth response of red ginger rhizome shoots to the administration of Natural Growth Regulatory Substances (ZPT) Moringa leaf extract and mung bean sprout extract combined with long soaking time on the growth of red ginger rhizome shoots. The research design used...

Pecan is the only commercial tree nut native to the United States. The optimal times for orchard irrigation, pesticide sprays, and harvest are difficult to identify. Growth and development of the nut as a function of heat unit accumulation is a potential tool predicting different nut growth stages. ...

Trinexapac-ethyl (Moddus) is known as a plant growth regulator widely used in sugarcane to boost sugar yield and improve harvest efficiency. The objectives of this study were to investigate responses of sugarcane growth, physiology and yield components to application of Moddus in grand growth phase ...
