Extendable robot inspired By plant growth
… design of extendable robotic arm inspired by plant growth is presented. The robot can construct its own body structure by converting a type of fluidized material into a rigid structure at its growing point. It extends its structure in multiple directions, and move through a winding space to …

EFFECTS OF PLANT GROWTH-PROMOTING MICROORGANISMS ON MICROBIAL COMMUNITY DYNAMICS AND PLANT GROWTH RESPONSES OF AEROPONICALLY CULTIVATED SPINACH
… Aeroponics, a subgroup of hydroponics, induces growth by misting nutrient-rich solutions onto the plant roots. These systems use space and water more efficiently and rely less on fertilizers and pesticides but are vulnerable to errors in nutrient application, power loss, and rapid pathogen …

Biological wastes as plant growth substrate amendments
… shellfish waste was investigated as a selective growth substrate amendment in the field, in glasshouse and in storage trials against Sclerotinia disease of Helianthus tuberosus, Phytophthora fragariae disease of Fragaria vesca and Fusarium disease of Dianthus. Results showed that addition to …

Soil phosphorus fractionation and plant growth relationships
… measurement of phosphorus which is available to plants is a problem closely related to the forms and amounts of phosphorus present in soils. The fractionation of soil phosphorus, based on a series of extractions, is a procedure that has been utilized by many investigators. In this study, this …

Plant growth regulators: an alternative to frequent mowing
… thesis is to determine if the application of Plant Growth Regulators (PGR's) to frequently mowed semi-improved areas can minimize the total annual mowing costs at Naval Air Station Cecil Field, Florida and Naval Air Station Jacksonville, Florida. The highest potential savings are in areas …

Printed stretchable strain sensors for plant growth monitoring
Plants represent ~82% of the total biomass on earth and are critical to ecology and agriculture. However, the direct measurement of plant growth with minimal human intervention has been challenging. Wearable strain sensors have made a great impact in various areas including human motion detection, …

The application of actinobacterial extracts for plant growth promotion
… becoming a major health concern. The use of plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) as bioinoculants is viewed as a promising avenue for sustainable agriculture, especially under environmental stress conditions. In this study, 27 actinobacterial strains isolated from South African medicinal …

Influence of Soil Microorganisms on Plant Growth and Fitness
<p>Most terrestrial plants benefit from symbiosis with soil microorganisms. Symbiotic bacteria and fungi have wide-ranging effects on host plants, including improved nutrition, disease resistance, and drought tolerance. Association with Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF) can enhance growth and …

Computational investigation of early events in plant growth signaling
Brassinosteroids are a class of plant hormones critical for control of growth and development. While the signaling pathway through which brassinosteroid signals are processed has been the subject of intense study for the past 50 years, relatively little is known about the precise nanoscopic events …

Plant Growth and Root Zone Management of Greenhouse Grown Succulents
… of media, soil moisture, fertility rate, and plant growth regulators on plant growth were investigated for 13 taxa of succulents. Media: Liners were grown in five common greenhouse substrates: 80% peat, 60% bark + 30% peat moss, 80% pine bark/20% Permatil (v/v), 100% composted pine bark, or …

Stereocontrolled synthesis of plant growth regulators Abscisic acid and Xanthoxin
… project is concerned with the total synthesis of plant growth regulators related to abscisic acid (ABA). The biological activity of these plant growth regulators, ABA and Xanthoxin, and their derivatives is influenced by the stereochemistry of the double bond system in the side chain, the …

An Object-Oriented and Web-Based Simulator for Plant Growth
The program describes the growth of a typical plant that is free of pests and diseases. It is currently able to simulate plant growth for more than a dozen crops and weeds under Illinois weather conditions using properties of three typical soils.

Biochemistry and molecular biology of binding proteins for plant growth regulators.
Plant growth regulators have a vital role in plant growth and development. The cellular response to these regulators depends on the presence and the action of specific receptors. The plant growth regulators and their receptors act together in complexes which determine the final effects of the plant …

Ribosomal protein mutants and their effects on plant growth and development
… and smaller families (two to seven members) in plants. Increased ribosome heterogeneity is possible in plant ribosomes due to multiple transcriptionally active members in each family, whereas, in mammalian r-protein gene families, only one member is typically active. Multiple functional paralogs …

Cellular-level mechanisms of polarity and their role in plant growth
… cell polarity fields are essential for plant and animal development. Several models have been proposed for how these cell polarity fields are established. However, it remains unclear how different models are related to each other and how coordinated cell polarity fields are generated. …
