Fruit size of peaches is an important quality factor that can be optimized by adjusting the number of fruit on the tree by hand thinning 40 - 60 days after full bloom (dafb). Hand thinning is labor intensive and therefore the development of other strategies t…

In Solanaceae family several plant resistant genes to pathogen (R-genes) have been mapped and cloned. Most of them encode Nucleotide Binding Site Leucine Rich Repeat domain (NBS-LRR) protein. However, little is known about the resistance genes variability pat…

Pre- and post-defoliation radial growth rates were used to examine the effects of silvicultural thinning and two consecutive years of gypsy moth ( Lymantria dispar L.) defoliation on Quercus spp. wood volume production. In the first phase of the study, tree r…

The formation of mature and fertile pollen grains, taking place inside the anther, depends on supply of assimilates, in the form of sucrose, provided mainly by the leaves. Data is limited, however, with respect to the understanding of sucrose metabolism in mi…
