De novo assembly and characterization of fruit transcriptome in Litchi chinensis Sonn and analysis of differentially regulated genes in fruit in response to shading

TL;DR: The assembled transcriptome of litchi fruit provides a global description of expressed genes in litchesi fruit development, and could serve as an ideal repository for future functional characterization of specific genes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effect of synthetic auxins on fruit development of 'Bing' cherry (Prunus avium L.)

TL;DR: Applying synthetic auxins to the main cherry cultivar grown in the warm climate of Israel caused appreciable and significant increases in fruit size and total yield, except when the crop load was heavy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Carbohydrate Stress Affecting Fruitlet Abscission and Expression of Genes Related to Auxin Signal Transduction Pathway in Litchi

TL;DR: The results of this study provide new insight into the process of fruitlet abscission induced by carbohydrate stress and broaden the understanding of the auxin signal transduction pathway in this process at the molecular level.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Role of Flies as Pollinators of Horticultural Crops: An Australian Case Study with Worldwide Relevance.

TL;DR: Considering existing pollination evidence, along with the distribution, morphology, behaviour and life history traits of introduced and endemic species, 11 calliphorid, two rhiniid and seven syrphid species were identified as candidates with high potential for use in Australian managed pollination services.

Differential Staining of Aborted and Nonaborted Pollen

TL;DR: A single staining solution was made by compounding it in the following order (dyes were from British Drug Houses): ethanol, 10 ml; 1% malachite green in 95% ethanol, 1 ml; distilled water, 50 ml; glycerol 25 ml; phenol, 5 gm; chloral hydrate; acid fuchsin 5 ml; orange G, 1% in water 0.5 ml; glacial acetic acid, 1–4 ml.
Journal ArticleDOI

Polyamines inhibit biosynthesis of ethylene in higher plant tissue and fruit protoplasts.

TL;DR: Polyamines, as well as putrescine, inhibited auxin-induced ethylene production and the conversion of methionine and 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid to ethylene.

Plant growth substances

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a plant growth substances (PGS) for plant growth, which can be found in the following types of plants: (1) Plant growth substances, (2)
Journal ArticleDOI

On the senescence of ovules in cherries

TL;DR: It was found that ovules which were not fertilized became progressively senescent 4 to 5 days after anthesis, and about a week after flower opening a rather high percentage of the ovules was non-viable.
Journal ArticleDOI

The control of floral initiation in lychee: A review

TL;DR: An alternative approach involves a critical study of manipulative techniques which restrict vegetative flushing and promote vegetative dormancy under non-inductive conditions, i.e. cincturing, applying growth retardants and withholding irrigation and fertilizers.
