Effects of salinity on growth and photosynthesis of avocado seedlings
(Asian Network for scientific information, 2007-01-01)
Parameters of Avocado Seedlings Growing Under Saline Conditions
(Asian Network for scientific information, 2007)
Under natural conditions, photosynthesis and stomatal conductance are normally limited by Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR), temperature, water stress and salinity. A study was conducted at Maseno University, Kenya ...
Growth of avocado plants under saline conditions
(Taylor & Francis Group, 2007-12-13)
Avocado (Persea americana Mill.) is an important multipurpose tree crop. A study was conducted to investigate the growth and gas exchange characteristics of avocado seedlings growing under different salinity levels. Plants ...
The task of University Botanic Garden in education and plant conservation
(Botanic Gardens Conservation International, 2007)
Biological conservation is a complex undertaking especially in the developing countries where large populace
still relies on the forest products for their daily survival. Majority of these people live below the poverty ...
Numerical Computation of Steady Buoyancy Driven MHD Heat and Mass Transfer Past An Inclined Infinite Flat Plate with Sinusoidal Surface Boundary Conditions
(2007)
In this paper we study the e ects of magnetohydrodynamics (MHD)
uid
ow on a two dimensional boundary layer
ow of a steady free

Fundamental Investigation of Vesicle Bilayer Membrane Dynamics
(Western Michigan University, 2007)
We studied the bilayer of vesicles from dimyristolyphosphatidylcholine (DMPC), using nitrobenzoxadiazole (NBD) probes, attached to the head (NBD-PE) and the tail (NBD-PC) of phospholipid derivatives. We characterized the ...
The use of green tea (Camellia sinensis) leaf flavan-3-ol composition in predicting plain black tea quality potential
(Elsevier, 2007-01-01)
Reliable and quantifiable green leaf parameters for predicting black tea quality potential of tea bushes at the single bush stage are necessary to shorten tea breeding and clonal selection programmes. Green leaf flavan-3-ols ...
Responses of mango (Mangifera indica L.) root stock seedlings to water stress
(Asian Network for Scientific Information, 2007)
The present studies were aimed at investigating the effect of different watering regimes on the gas exchange parameters (stomatal conductance, CO<sub>2</sub> assimilation and transpiration rates) and chlorophyll content ...
Responses in dry matter production of NERICA to soil moisture stress
(CROP SCIENCE SOCIETY OF JAPAN, 2007)
NERICA (new rice for Africa) developed by Africa Rice Centre (ARC) in West Africa has a reputation
for high production under rainfed cultures. These genotypes have been widely adopted by farmers in West African
countries ...
Taxonomic Identification and Characterization of African Nightshades (Solanum L. Section Solanum)
(African Journal of Food, Agriculture, nutrition and developmen, 2007)
African nightshades play an important role in meeting the nutritional needs of
rural households, and are reported as being particularly rich in protein, vitamin A,
iron and calcium. Nightshades are among three top priority ...
