The dynamics of growth and thickening of the cultivars Independence, Nectagrand 2, Aureliogrand, Fantasy, Kassiopeia and Caldessi 2000 grafted on seedling rootstock （Elbert） and clonal GF-677 have been studied in the second year of nursery. The aim of the study was to investigate the growth characteristics of the introduced cultivars of nectarines grafted on traditional seedling rootstock （Elbert） and GF-677. At the beginning of the vegetation period of the seed cultivar rootstock （Elbert） has strong growth and thickening of the stem. The dynamics of growth and thickening of the stem depend on the used rootstock and cultivar. The obtained planting material corresponds to the existing quality standards.展开更多

Conversely, the production and spatial orientation of organs are dependent on the underlying physiological processes. An integrated functional-architectural modeling system would allow greater refinement of intra- and inter-plant interactions, facilitate the incorporation of additional mechanistic processes, allow greater integration of processes across multiple structural scales, and improve the accuracy of predictions. The objective of this study is to quantify the physiological bases for organ morphological development of 3 rice cultivars （Banks, IR68886B, and their hybrid Banks × IR68886A）. Detailed organ morphological data were obtained through repeated field observations and destructive samplings over the growing season, including leaf length, width, area, mass, and leaf phyllochron; sheath length, diameter and mass; internode length, diameter and mass; panicle length; stem and tiller number. The result showed that the plant age （GDD, 〉 10 ℃ d） at the first full leaf initiation （node = 2） was 147.92, 154.35, 166.23 for Banks, IR68886B, and Banks × IR68886A respectively. Banks × IR68886A produced 18 nodes, while IR68886B produced 17 nodes, and Banks 16 nodes. The Specific Leaf Weight （SLW, mg cm2） was fairly constant （about 6 mg cm2） during the growing season for the 3 cultivars, and appears to slowly increase for the latter nodes. The leaf length and SLW of Banks × IR68886A was more than Banks and IR68886B. Specific internodes weight of Banks x IR68886A was higher than IR68886B ×and Banks. Growing duration for Banks × IR68886A is longer than Banks and IR68886B. Banks × IR68886A shows positive heterosis,, and the mid-parent heterosis （MPH） for panicle length was 26.74% and that for stem and tiller number was 135.00%. Results from the experiments were used to parameterize a rice functional-architectural model that simulates organ dynamics and renders organ growth in a 3-dimensional space over the rice growing season.展开更多
