Cold temperatures are the cause of enormous agricultural losses, especially in sub-tropical
and temperate grain crops. The reproductive period is a vital phase in the life cycle of all …

Flowering and pollination are key reproductive events leading to mango fruit development.
The mango inflorescence is a branched terminal panicle or determinate thyrse. Mango …

This chapter addresses the physiology of mango flowering, early fruit set and fruit retention.
The following topics are covered: phenology; shoot development (vegetative shoots and …

The distribution and abundance of plant species are intimately related to their reproductive
success, which in turn is affected by a large number of environmental variables. Yet …

Introduction An efficient and reliable method to estimate plant cell viability, especially of
pollen, is important for plant breeding research and plant production processes. Pollen …

Tropical fruits–full of rich nutrients and health properties–are adapted to hot and humid
environments. Many tropical fruit species might spread beyond their current geographical …

A study was conducted to investigate pollen viability of three polleniser mango cultivars,
viz.'Sensation','Tommy Atkins' and 'Janardan Pasand'up to 24 weeks under four storage …

The response of tropical trees to rising temperatures represents a key uncertainty that limits
our ability to predict biosphere-atmosphere feedbacks in a warming world. We review the …

The geographic distribution of plant species, vegetation types and agricultural cropping
patterns demonstrates the strong influence climate has on plant growth. Solar radiation …

The number of florets per head in sunflower is a function of the integral of the generative
area of the inflorescence primordium during the phase of floret differentiation (FS5–FS8). To …
