The term green island was first used to describe an area of living, green tissue surrounding
a site of infection by an obligately biotrophic fungal pathogen, differentiated from …

Polyamines (PAs) are low molecular weight ubiquitous nitrogenous compounds found in all
living organisms (Kaur-Sawhney et al., 2003). In higher plants, the most common …

With the objective to clarify the physiological significance of polyamines (PAs) in the
photosynthetic apparatus, the present study investigated the effects of salt stress with and …

Light insufficiency is a major abiotic stress limiting plant growth and crop yield in intensive
greenhouse production. The application of supplemental lighting to the lower canopy is an …

Root zone high-temperature stress is a major factor limiting hydroponic plant growth during
the high-temperature season. The effects of root zone cooling (RZC; at 25° C) and …

Abstract Background and Aims Fusarium wilt is primarily a soil-borne disease and results in

A study was conducted to determine if the pressure reduction rate in a vacuum cooler would
have an effect on the physical and chemical quality characteristics as well as the …

The physiological state, ie, senescence or juvenility, of plants and plant organs can have
strong effect on their reactions to pathogen attacks. This effect is mainly expressed as …

The main goal of growing plants under various photoperiods is to optimize photosynthesis
for using the effect of day length that often acts on plants in combination with biotic and/or …

Nitrate smoothly accumulates in leafy vegetables and poses serious health hazards if
