Download or read book Physiology of Growth and Development in Horticultural Plants written by N. R. Bhat and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2024-09-16 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The development of a plant is a multifaceted, dynamic phenomenon. Due to their immobility, plants respond not only to internal developmental cues, but also to changes in the prevailing environmental conditions. Climate change has increased vulnerability in plants due to increasing concentrations of CO2 and other pollutants, and fluctuations in the growing environment. These changes affect crop growth and productivity thereby posing a major risk to global food security. Physiology of Growth and Development in Horticultural Plants contains 22 chapters organized into six sections, beginning with an introduction on basic concepts of plant growth and development; followed by genetic basis of plant development; quantification of growth; and sensing and response of plants to various environmental signals. It also explores plant growth hormones and their role either singly or in combination in controlling various aspects of plant growth and development, and hormonal regulation of physiological and developmental processes. The book highlights intricate aspects of growth and development in horticultural plants with classic examples from the real world. Features · Presents information on plant growth and development; structure and genetic basis of plant development with quantification of growth; sensing and response of plants to various environmental signals; and various phytohormones and their role in controlling aspects of plant growth and development. · Provides key scientific and technical advances, issues, and challenges in various areas of growth and development of horticultural plants. · Demonstrates how the response of various plants to internal and external stimuli can be commercially exploited.

Download or read book Handbook of Environmental Physiology of Fruit Crops written by Bruce Schaffer and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2018-05-04 with total page 460 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These exciting new companion handbooks are the only ones of their kind devoted solely to the effects of environmental variables on the physiology of the world's major fruit and nut crops. Their cosmopolitan scope includes chapters on tropical and temperate zone species written by scientists from several continents. The influence of environmental factors, such as irradiance, temperature, water and salinity on plant physiology and on vegetative and reproductive growth, is comprehensively discussed for each crop. In addition to being a thorough and up-to-date set of textbooks, the organzation of the two volumes makes them an excellent reference tool. Each chapter focuses on a single crop, or a group of genetically or horticulturally related crop, and is appropriately divided into subsections that address individual environmental factors. Some chapters emphasize whole-plant physiology and plant growth and development, while other chapters feature theoretical aspects of plant physiology. Several chapters provide botanical background discussions to enhance understanding of the crop's response to its environment.

Book excerpt: Manipulation of Fruiting contains the proceedings of the 47th University of Nottingham Easter School in Agricultural Science, held at Sutton Bonington, England on April 18-22, 1988. The papers explore developments in the manipulation of fruiting and cover topics ranging from intra-plant competition to pollination, fruit set, and light interception and canopy manipulation. Genetic regulation and chemical manipulation of fruiting are also discussed. This monograph is comprised of 26 chapters divided into nine sections. The first section deals with the interactions that occur between vegetative and reproductive growth, focusing on source-sink effects and dry matter partitioning. The following three sections examine the sequential stages of producing a fruit from flower initiation, dormancy, and anthesis, through pollination to fruit set. Models that describe dormancy and flowering are presented; pollen incompatibility is considered; and the time available for pollination is analyzed. The physiology of fruit set is discussed together with methods to improve fruit set. The next three sections detail methods of manipulating fruiting, either physically by altering plant canopy structure and therefore light interception, genetically by breeding and selection, or chemically by the use of plant growth regulators. This book concludes with a look towards the future using genetic manipulation to alter fruit physiology. This text will be a valuable resource for crop researchers, plant physiologists, geneticists, and others interested in the state of research into fruiting.

This book was released on 2023-05-23 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern tree fruit orchards and vineyards constitute complex production systems that are exposed to highly dynamic and stochastic natural, financial and societal forces, and face demands for increased production using fewer resources, with reduced environmental impact. Successful operation of orchards and vineyards under these conditions is practically impossible without careful and extensive use of state-of-the-art automation technologies and careful planning of future operations (e.g., training systems when replanting) that can be enabled by knowledge of emerging technologies and future trends. Also, improvement of existing automation technologies and development of novel future systems cannot be accomplished without a working understanding of the tree and vine biological production systems, their management needs, and the capabilities and limitations of existing automation systems. The book aims to provide the necessary knowledge to achieve the above goals in a way that can engage readers without engineering or horticultural backgrounds.

Foster and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fermented cider production has rapidly increased in the US over the last decade with an annualized growth rate of 50% between 2009 and 2014, and revenues totaling $ 2.2 billion in 2018 (Becot et al., 2016; Miles et al., 2020). Cider producers seek juice with high sugar, high acid, and phenolics that enhance "mouth feel" to make unique, high-quality cider. Specialty cider cultivars are selected for their juice qualities, not for their yield or ease of production. Growers have found many cider cultivars are challenging to grow due to disease susceptibility, biennial bearing, premature fruit drop, and excessive vegetative growth. Cider cultivars of European origin respond poorly to traditional crop load thinning methods, leading to fluctuating crop yields from year-to-year. Controlling the year-to-year crop variation or biennial bearing of cider cultivars is important to the overall profitability of an orchard. Growers are in need of new methods and information to understand how to maintain adequate crop yields and improve return bloom. The objective of this project has been to explore the use of hedge pruning and summer applied plant growth regulators as methods to improve return bloom. Chapter 2: In this study, tall spindle trained cider apples 'Somerset Redstreak' and 'Harry Masters Jersey' and traditional dessert apples 'McIntosh' and 'Empire' trained to a tall spindle system were hedged during the summer to evaluate their response of return bloom, yield, tree growth, and juice quality. Treatments consisted of 1) normal winter dormant pruning with hand tools as a control; 2) mechanical winter dormant pruning with a hedger; 3) mechanical pruning at pink (prebloom) bud stage with a hedger, and; 4) mechanical pruning at the 12-14 leaf stage, in mid-June. 'Harry Master Jersey' exhibited a strong biennial tendency, with no return bloom in 2020. There was a noteworthy difference in canopy size for all cultivars the first season, with most hedging treatments being reduced nearly by half. Juice quality was unaffected by hedging treatment for soluble solid content, pH, titratable acidity, and total phenolics. Chapter 3: Three plant growth regulators were evaluated alone and in combination for their effects on return bloom and fruit and juice quality on hard cider trees when applied at different times throughout the growing season. Plant growth regulators evaluated included: Carbaryl 4L at 0.58 L ha-1, naphthalene acetic acid (NAA) at 210 g ha-1, and Ethephon at 0.29 L ha-1. Growth regulator treatments did not have a consistent effect across cultivars. 'Somerset Redstreak' adequately flowered and cropped in 2020 with no differences seen between treatments. 'Kingston Black' and 'Harry Masters Jersey' had little to no return bloom in 2020. In 2019, Kingston Black' treated with NAA had higher yields than those treated with ethephon. Ethephon caused increased fruit softening in both 'Kingston Black' and 'Somerset Redstreak' in 2019. Juice from 'Somerset Redstreak' treated with ethephon had higher pH at harvest. Naphthaleneacetic acid or ethephon treatments during the bloom year of a biennial bearing cycle did not promote return bloom for two out of three hard cider cultivars tested.
