Floral Genetics of African Nightshade (Solanum section Solanum)
(International Journal of Plant Developmental Biology, 2007)
Solanum section Solanum, centering on the species commonly known as African nightshade, and botanically known as the “Solanum
nigrum complex” is composed of a large number of morphogenetically distinct taxa, with certain ...
Induced male-sterility alters dry matter distribution in solanum villosum mill.
(ISHS, 2008)
African nightshades are leafy vegetables popular in Africa and South-East Asia for their high nutritional and medicinal value. The plants are strongly autogamic, exhibiting early and excessive flowering coupled with prolific ...
Scope for genetic enhancement of the parasitisation potential of four native strains of Trichogrammatoidea sp. nr. lutea Girault (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae) in Kenya
(Taylor & Francis, 2007-09-14)
In response to emerging interest in commercial mass production of Trichogramma for Helicoverpa armigera biocontrol in eastern Africa, laboratory experiments were undertaken to assess the scope for genetic enhancement of ...
Effects of Acid Scarification, Priming with PEG, NaCI or Sea Water as Osmoticum and Dehydration on Spinach Seed Germination at 30°C
(Japanese Society for Horticultural Science, 2005)
Spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) seeds were scarified with an 18 N H2S04 solution, then primed for one week at 10De in PEG- 6000, NaCl or natural sea water. Germination tests were carried out
at 30De, which is normally ...
Restoration of Male Fertility in Seasonally Dependent Male Sterile Mutant Tomato, Lycopersicon esculentum cv. First
(Journal of the Japanese Society for Horticultural Science, 2000)
The effect of environmental conditions in the spring and autumn on the restoration of male fertility in T-4 male sterile mutant plants which were obtained via gamma (γ)-irradiation of tomato cv. First was investigated. ...
Plant growth, water relations and transpiration of two species of African nightshade (Solanum villosum Mill. ssp. miniatum (Bernh. ex Willd.) Edmonds and S. sarrachoides Sendtn.) under water-limited conditions
(Elsevier, 2006-09)
The adaptation to drought stress of two African nightshade species, Solanum villosum and S. sarrachoides was investigated in pot and field experiments between 2000 and 2002. Two genotypes of S. villosum (landrace and ...
