Mechanisms linking river flow regime and riparian hardwood establishment by Steven F. Railsback, John H. Bair

“…Analysis of the model as applied to a low‐gradient reach of a large mountain river indicates that the soil characteristic determining moisture elevation (the “capillary fringe” height) is the most important process driving establishment rates; also important are the dates of seed deposition, inundation mortality, and the time needed for sprouted seeds to develop roots. …”

Effects of melatonin, proline, and salicylic acid on seedling growth, photosynthetic activity, and leaf nutrients of sorghum under salt stress by Mehmet Sait Kiremit, Elif Öztürk, Hakan Arslan, Bhaskara Anggarda Gathot Subrata, Hasan Akay, Aigerim Bakirova

“…However, the Zn2+, Mn2+, and Cu2+ contents of sorghum leaves increased with increasing soil salinity, and these nutrients also improved with seed priming by SA, MEL, and P. Considering all nutrients, MEL‐primed sorghum seeds had better macro‐ and micro‐nutrient uptake capacities than the H, SA, and P treatments under high soil salinity conditions. …”

Genotypic variability of Pinus sylvestris L. on the drought-resistance attribute by E. Yu. Amineva, A. P. Gureev, T. M. Tabatskaya, O. S. Mashkina, V. N. Popov

“…It is shown that the cytogenetic characteristics of the seed progeny and the indicators of callusogenic reactions do not always coincide in different genotypes: in some cases energy resources are spent on ontogeny protection, while, in other cases, to reproductive function maintain. …”

Validation of a one-step reverse transcription PCR detection method for Tobamovirus maculatessellati, in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) and pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) by Chellappan Padmanabhan, Andrea Gilliard, Kai-Shu Ling, Yazmín Rivera

“…The RT-PCR can detect ToMMV consistently on contaminated seed or leaf tissues. This validated assay could serve as a standard method for detecting ToMMV in seed health testing and for plant disease diagnosis, thus to prevent inadvertent introduction and spread of this emerging and economically important tobamovirus in tomato and pepper fields.…”
