Consumers shop at multiple retailers for different needs, and it is understood that many choose a retailer for an experience and others will shop at another retailer for better savings. In a time where E-commerce is at an all-time high, retailers need to consider how they compare against online retailers in the apparel sector. In this study, three retailers were compared against one another since they are all swimwear competitors. As these retailers adjust to store and production shortages, it is important to understand how the quality of clothing will keep sales consistent. Consumers are likely to keep shopping at …

Plant-Pollinator Interaction Networks In Remnant And Reconstructed Palouse Prairie In Eastern Wa, Usa, Emma Hoskins
EWU Masters Thesis Collection
Ecological restoration is often focused on re-establishing native plant communities, without considering the larger ecological community, specifically pollinators, despite their being critical to native forb reproduction. Further, ecological restoration has the potential to mitigate global pollinator declines by rebuilding native ecosystems, providing pollinators with floral resources and nesting habitat. This is especially true for prairie restoration, which struggles to establish diverse, abundant native forb communities. The USDA Conservation Reserve Program State Acres for Wildlife Enhancement (CRP SAFE) Palouse Prairie Project provides funding to convert agricultural fields into native Palouse Prairie habitat for the benefit of wildlife. Due to financial and …

Analysis Of Root System Architecture And Qtl Identification In Grapevines, Sujan Thapa
Graduate Theses/Dissertations
The root system of the plant plays a vital role in water and nutrient uptake. Native North American grapevines adapted to a broad range of climatic and soil conditions, which led to the evolution of diverse root system architecture (RSA) within the Vitis genus. Despite the importance of RSA in viticulture, little is known about the genetic basis of the RSA in grapevine. I used novel root phenotyping tool, RhizoVision Analyzer to characterize the root system of 208 genotypes of an F1 grapevine progeny obtained from a cross between Vitis rupestris Scheele B38 and Vitis riparia Michx.

ความผันแปรตามฤดูกาลของการย่อยสลายรากฝอยของแสมขาว Avicennia Alba ในป่าชายเลนปากแม่น้ำ จังหวัดตราด, นดา ยีมัสซา
Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)
การศึกษาการย่อยสลายของรากสำคัญต่อการประมาณปริมาณคาร์บอนที่ส่งต่อและกักเก็บในระบบนิเวศป่าชายเลน ในขณะที่กระบวนการย่อยสลายในป่าชายเลนภายใต้สภาพภูมิอากาศแบบมรสุมเขตร้อนได้รับผลกระทบจากปัจจัยสิ่งแวดล้อมที่ผันแปรตามฤดูกาล การศึกษาครั้งนี้จึงมีวัตถุประสงค์เพื่อศึกษาการย่อยสลายรากฝอย (เส้นผ่านศูนย์กลาง < 2 มม.) ของแสมขาว (Avicennia alba Blume) ด้วยวิธีถุงย่อยสลาย ในฤดูแล้งและฤดูฝน (12 สัปดาห์) และเปรียบเทียบกับอัตราการย่อยสลายในรอบปี (52 สัปดาห์) รวมถึงศึกษาอิทธิพลของปัจจัยที่เกี่ยวข้องกับการย่อยสลายของรากฝอยที่ผันแปรตามฤดูกาล ในเขตพันธุ์ไม้แสม บริเวณป่าชายเลนปากแม่น้ำตราด จังหวัดตราด ผลการศึกษาพบว่า อัตราการย่อยสลายของรากฝอยของแสมขาวในฤดูแล้งมีค่าน้อยกว่าฤดูฝน (0.003 และ 0.005 ต่อวัน ตามลำดับ) เป็นผลจากปัจจัยสิ่งแวดล้อมที่ผันแปรตามฤดูกาลอย่างมีนัยสำคัญทางสถิติ โดยปริมาณน้ำฝนที่ต่ำในฤดูแล้งส่งผลให้ความเค็มในดินสูง รวมถึงในฤดูแล้งพื้นที่ศึกษาถูกน้ำท่วมเป็นระยะเวลานานกว่าฤดูฝน ที่อาจไปยับยั้งกิจกรรมของจุลชีพในดินที่มีบทบาทในการย่อยสลาย นอกจากนี้ปัจจัยทางชีวภาพเกี่ยวกับลักษณะของรากฝอยทั้งองค์ประกอบทางเคมีตั้งต้น (ไนโตรเจน) และลักษณะทางกายวิภาคศาสตร์ที่แตกต่างกันในฤดูแล้งและฤดูฝน ล้วนส่งผลต่อการย่อยสลายของรากฝอยของแสมขาวด้วย ส่วนอัตราการย่อยสลายของรากฝอยของแสมขาวในรอบปีมีค่าเท่ากับ 0.001 ต่อวัน ซึ่งน้อยกว่าอัตราการย่อยสลายในฤดูแล้งและฤดูฝน เนื่องจากมีรากใหม่เจริญเข้าไปในถุงย่อยสลายหลังจากเวลาผ่านไป 12 สัปดาห์และไม่สามารถแยกจากซากรากตั้งต้นได้ การคำนวณอัตราการย่อยสลายของรากฝอยจากการทดลองที่ใช้ระยะเวลานานจึงมีค่าต่ำกว่าที่เกิดขึ้นจริง ดังนั้นจึงเสนอว่าการศึกษาการย่อยสลายของรากฝอยในช่วงระยะเวลาที่เหมาะสม (12 สัปดาห์) แยกตามฤดูกาล จะสะท้อนอัตราการย่อยสลายที่เกิดขึ้นจริงและสามารถเชื่อมโยงความสัมพันธ์ระหว่างปัจจัยที่เกี่ยวข้องกับการย่อยสลายของรากที่ผันแปรตามฤดูกาลกับการย่อยสลายของรากฝอยที่เกิดขึ้นในป่าชายเลนได้ ซึ่งจะนำไปสู่การประมาณอัตราการย่อยสลายของรากฝอยที่แม่นยำเพื่อการประมาณปริมาณคาร์บอนที่ส่งต่อและกักเก็บในองค์ประกอบต่าง ๆ ของระบบนิเวศป่าชายเลนต่อไป

A Flora Of Coyote Ridge And Flat, Inyo County, California, Martin Purdy
CGU Theses & Dissertations
California’s Sierra Nevada mountain range contains a disproportionate share of the state’s plant diversity and is one of the most floristically diverse regions of its size in the United States. The high Sierra Nevada, in particular, has been identified as an important center of species richness and endemism within California. Anthropogenic climate warming is expected to disproportionately affect mountain ecosystems, and models have predicted serious habitat contraction and extirpation for many alpine plant taxa. A specimen-based inventory of the vascular and non-vascular plants of Coyote Ridge and Flat was conducted to establish baseline data for one such sensitive alpine and …

Turkish Journal of Botany
A long fruit (lf) mutant was obtained from the cucumber inbred line 'SN5' by ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS)-mediated mutagenesis. We found that plant height and internode length of lf were significantly decreased, while leaf area was significantly increased in comparison to wild type (WT) plants. Higher carbohydrate level, together with lower chlorophyll content and photosynthetic parameters, was revealed in lf leaves than those of WT. Longer fruits, as well as enhanced fruit quality, were observed for mutant plants in comparison to WT, and the difference in fruit length was continuously increased with the development of fruits. ELISA and real-time PCR analyses …

Turkish Journal of Botany
Arundinella stenostachya, a new species, is described and illustrated. It is morphologically similar to A. decempedalis and A. bengalensis, but differs from the former species by the length of panicle branches, type of trichome on nodes and pedicels length, and from the latter in height and diameter of culms, the length and width of leaf blades, pedicels length, and the length of panicles and branches. The new species has been mistakenly identified as A. decempedalis and A. bengalensis. Molecular analyses based on ITS sequences also support A. stenostachya as a distinct species.

Chromosome Numbers And Genome Size Data On Species Of The Genus Petrorhagia(Caryophyllaceae) From Turkey, Kamuran Aktaş, Jaume Pellicer, Teresa Garnatje
Turkish Journal of Botany
Genome size, i.e. the total amount of DNA in an unreplicated somatic nucleus is considered an important character in the biology of organisms, and it is especially relevant for land plants given the extraordinary diversity reported. Despite the continuous growth of data and the efforts aimed at increasing our understanding of plant genome size diversity, more data are needed to have an evenly representation across lineages. With this premise in mind, in this work, we investigated genome size, complemented with chromosome data in eight species of the genus Petrorhagia (Caryophyllaceae) from Turkey. Chromosome counts made indicate that the species studied …

Phenology is the study of critical life stages in plants in relation to shifts in environmental factors during seasonal changes. Starry stonewort is a green macro alga in the family Characeae native to Eurasia. Much of the Midwestern United States has been invaded by this species. Starry stonewort has been seen to have late season growth patterns in its invaded range. This study found that this growth pattern was dependent upon water temperature and light transmittance both of which affect biomass production and senescence. It was hypothesized that peak biomass would occur in the late summer (August), however we observed …
