Irrigated agriculture in semi-arid regions is expected to increase the future, which puts greater demands on scarce water resources. Sustainable irrigation strategies will support agricultural resilience climatic change. The response of “Sweetheart”/Mazzard sweet cherry trees ( Prunus avium L.) postharvest deficit (PDI), as a conservation method, was studied over three seasons (2019–2022) Okanagan Valley British Columbia, at five commercial orchards. following treatments were applied; i)...
Abstract Open science skills are increasingly important for a career in ecology and evolutionary biology (EEB) as efforts to make data analyses publicly available continue become more commonplace. While learning core concepts EEB, students also expected gain conducting open prepare future careers. Core like programming, sharing, practices that promote reproducibility can be taught undergraduate alongside EEB. Yet, these not always programs, major challenge developing EEB simultaneously is...
The timing and availability of water supply are changing in the Okanagan Valley, irrigation late summers is a growing concern. Postharvest deficit (PDI) strategy that can be used to reduce demands sweet cherry orchards; previous studies this region have reported no change plant physiology or tree growth with volume reductions up 25%, postharvest. However, effects more severe postharvest remain unknown. We compared full (100% conventional grower practice through season) 27%–33% (∼70%...
Plant cold hardiness is a dynamic process, and seasonal changes occur through acclimation deacclimation to help prevent lethal injury from the cold. Cold weather resulting inadequate plant can result in significant economic losses growers of perennial crops temperate climates. The objective current study was develop models that estimate temperature causes 10%, 50%, 90% mortality (LT10, LT50, LT90) two cultivars sweet cherry ( Prunus avium ) flower buds early fall spring. We parameterized...
Differential thermal analysis (DTA) is a technique commonly used to evaluate the cold hardiness of plant organs that supercool as means for survival. The aim this study was effect different pretest bud storage conditions, cooling rates, and excision techniques on dormant sweet cherry flower low temperature exotherms (LTEs) measured using DTA. Furthermore, compared estimates made DTA controlled freezing tests. We determined buds stored at warmer temperatures (12.5 °C room temperature) 2–6 h...
Abstract Mechanisms involved in the supercooling of plant tissues as a means low temperature survival are still not fully understood. We investigated properties that may promote overwintering sweet cherry ( Prunus avium ) flower buds. conducted experiments on buds using differential thermal analysis (DTA) and observed locations ice formation bud structure. also used anatomical development water‐soluble dye uptake throughout period to identify changes correlate with gain loss capacity. Our...
For only two groups of studies was a pooled analysis possible. The use additive steroids combined with 5-HT3 antagonists had been examined in studies3,4 which are and demonstrate good benefit. other compared granisitron 20 microg/kg 40 this demonstrated no clear difference the doses5,6,7. Discussion This systematic review has existence surprisingly small number trials addressing prevention treatment chemotherapy induced nausea vomiting children.
