The effect of various combinations of dinitro-o-cresol (DNOC) and narrow-distillation-range mineral oil (NRO) was tested during 4 consecutive years on breaking bud-rest and on fruiting of ‘Golden Delicious’ apple trees under mild winter conditions. Breaking of lateral leaf buds was directly correlated with oil concentration between 2.4 and 8.8%, while DNOC did not increase bud break at concentrations over 0.12% in the rest-breaking spray. Lower phytotoxicity of NRO compared with winter oil allowed safe use of higher concentrations of the former.Increased lateral leaf bud-break resulted in formation of more spurs and thus increased the yield in subsequent years. These higher yields were not accompanied by reductions in mean fruit weight or in trunk diameter, suggesting an increase in overall bearing potential of the tree by the best rest-breaking treatments. 相似文献

Variation in sweet corn kernel characteristics associated with stand establishment and eating quality 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2
Summary A better understanding of the relationships between kernel characteristics associated with eating quality and stand establishment could be helpful in selection of superior genotypes by the sweet corn industry. A set of sweet corn (Zea mays L.) inbred lines with different endosperm mutations (su1, su1 se1 and sh2) were evaluated for field emergence and seedling growth rate at two locations over two years. Kernel characteristics associated with eating quality (kernel moisture concentration, kernel tenderness, sugars, phytoglycogen and dimethyl sulfide (DMS) concentrations were determined for the same inbreds by laboratory analysis from ears harvested at 18 and 22 days after pollination (DAP). Amounts of sugars, phytoglycogen and starch were also measured in mature dry kernel samples of the same inbreds. Extensive genetic variability was found among endosperm mutations and among genetic backgrounds within the different endosperm groups for most of the characteristics under study. Most of the kernel attributes associated with eating quality were uncorrelated indicating that selection to improve specific eating quality characteristics can be conducted simultaneously. A negative correlation between field emergence and sugar concentrations in immature kernels suggests that in breeding programs designed to develop germplasm with improved germination and stand establishment, concurrent attention must be given to the fresh quality of the harvested product. This information is of value to breeders and commercial growers for selection of sh2 and su1 se1 lines with superior field emergence and eating quality.Abbreviations (DAP)

Antibiosis of maize inbred lines to the carmine spider mite, tetranychus cinnabarinus 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
The antibiosis of tenZea mays L. inbred lines to the carmine spider mite,Tetranychus cinnabarinus (Boisduval) (Acari: Tetranychidae), was evaluated. Two maize inbred lines previously reported as resistant to this spider
mite and a susceptible inbred line were compared with B96 (formerly called 41:2504B), reported as being resistant to the two-spotted
spider mite T. urticae and to the European corn borer (Ostrinia nubilalis Hübner). Other lines were derived from B96. All lines originated in the U.S.A. and were tested in Israel at two different
growth stages. Four days after inoculation of detached leaf squares with adult mites, significant differences in susceptibility
were observed among lines. At the 3-leaf stage lines B68, B96, B79, A619, B65, B49 and B64 reduced the average mite daily
fecundity by 43%, 64%, 66%, 67%, 77%, 81% and 87%, respectively, as compared with the most susceptible line, B52. At the flowering
stage, the average reduction in mite daily fecundity was much lower: inbred lines B64, A619 and B96 reduced the average mite
daily fecundity by 48%, 51% and 86%, respectively, whereas the seven other genotypes had an intermediate or a susceptible
reaction to the carmine spider mite, with A661 being the most susceptible. Our results show that B96 could be used as a source
of resistance in developing improved resistance of inbred lines of maize to carmine spider mites. 相似文献
