Effect of Cutting Size and Basal Heat on Rooting of Micromeria fruticulosa Stem Cuttings
2017
Micromeria fruticulosa (Bertol.) Grande is a small pulviniform shrub, belonging to the Labiates, and characterized by twisted stems and pink-purple flowers. Endemic to Campania and Sicily (Italy), M. fruticulosa grows from sea level to 600 m altitude. This specie might be considered an excellent native plant for landscape purposes in Mediterranean areas because of its long flowering period, extending from November to June, and its tolerance to heat and drought. The exploitation of wild plants for ornamental purposes implies knowledge on the factors influencing the propagation methods. Root development of stem cuttings of M. fruticulosa was investigated in relation to basal heat and cutting …
Auxin application and cutting length affect rooting in Cuphea hyssopifolia stem cuttings
2017
The effect of cutting length and indole-3-buyric acid (IBA) application on adventitious root formation stem cuttings was studied in Cuphea hyssopifolia. Softwood terminal cuttings of a clone grown in Sicily were trimmed to three lengths (2, 4 or 6 cm) and inserted to a 1-cm depth in bottom heated plastic trays containing a humidified peat-vermiculite mixture 1:2 (v/v). To verify the cutting response to different auxin concentrations, cuttings were dipped to a 1.0 cm depth in a 500ppm or 1000 ppm IBA solutions for 10 seconds. Cutting percent survival was 100%. Regardless of cutting length, the highest rooting percentage was obtained with IBA at 1000 ppm (avg. 86.7%), whereas rooting signific…
Lekking in the black grouse— a test of male viability
1991
LEKS, where males congregate to display and females attend only to mate, present one of the most remarkable outcomes of sexual selection1. It is a common but untested belief that females mate with the most vigorous males2. In leks of the black grouse Tetrao tetrix, males dominant in winter flocks were most successful in mating, as were males winning fights over female dummies placed at territory boundaries. Males tear feathers from each others' tail ornaments in combats, and attractive males always had undamaged tails. We report here that by choosing victorious males, females mate with males that are most likely to survive the following six months. There is a strong association between fema…
Jūlija Madernieka daiļrade kā iedvesmas avots apģērbu dizaina pētniecībā mākslas valodas pamatos
2020
Diplomdarba tēma - Jūlija Madernieka daiļrade kā iedvesmas avots apģērbu dizaina pētniecībā mākslas valodas pamatos. Diplomdarba mērķis - izpētīt Jūlija Madernieka daiļradi kā iedvesmas avotu skolēnu radošajā darbā. Diplomdarbā ir izpētīta un analizēta Jūlija Madernieka daiļrade, uzsvērtas specifiskākās iezīmes – ornamenta īpašības un iedvesmas avotu izmantošana. Saistībā ar to, tika veidota uzdevumu kopa mākslas skolas 5.klašu skolēniem mākslas valodas pamatos. Diplomdarbs sastāv no sešām nodaļām: 1.Nodaļā izpētīta Jūlija Madernieka biogrāfija, īss ieskats par mākslinieka dzimto vietu, nodarbošanos un dzīves gaitām. 2.Nodaļā tiek veikta Jūlija Madernieka mākslas darbu analīze - iedvesmas a…
Latviešu etnogrāfiskā materiāla pielietojums lietišķās mākslas priekšmetu ražotāju vizuālajā identitātē
2015
Mūdienās bieži ir redzams, ka latviešu etnogrāfiskās zīmes tiek izmantotas dažādos dizaina elementos. Darba mērķis ir noskaidrot vai šīs zīmes tiek izmantotas veidojot uzņēmumu vizuālo identitāti, vai tās izmanto tikai kā dizaina elementus, un vai zīmju simboliskajā nozīme ir svarīga tās izmantojot. Pētījuma galvenie uzdevumi ir uzzināt etnogrāfisko zīmju simbolisko nozīmi, izpētīt kādos gadījumos etnogrāfiskajām zīmēm ir bijusi piešķirta simbolizējoša nozīme. Pētījuma rezultātā jānoskaidro vai senāk un mūsdienās, izmantojot etnogrāfiskās zīmes, ir svarīgi ko tās simolizē. Tāpēc pētījuma gaitā tika izpētītas latviešu etnogrāfiskās zīmes, un to simboliskais pielietojums vēsturē un mūsdienās.…
A Foliar Disease of European Hackberry Endemic in Sicily
2019
European hackberry (Celtis australis L.; Ulmaceae), a semideciduous tree or shrub that produces small edible berries was originally grown in Italy to produce charcoal and timber and was particularly suitable for making whipstocks, carriage wheel spokes, and hoe handles. European hackberry is currently used for reforestation and as shade trees in parks and roadside plantings. Recently, a foliar disease caused by the dematiaceous hyphomycetous fungus Sirosporium celtidis (Biv.-Bern. ex Sprengel) M.B. Ellis on hackberry saplings in a nursery was observed in the Piedmont Region (northern Italy) by Giannetti et al. (2), who referred to it as a rare disease. However, during a survey in the natur…

Population genetics of cucumber mosaic virus infecting medicinal, aromatic and ornamental plants from northern Italy
2012
An epidemiological survey carried at the Herb Garden of Casola Valsenio (Emilia Romagna region; Northern Italy) from 2006 to 2009 resulted in finding Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) as the infectious agent of several ornamental, medicinal and aromatic plants. All CMV-infected plant species showed leaf symptoms followed, in some cases, by flower colour-breaking and stunting. Genetic analysis consisted in the characterization of movement protein gene of each CMV-isolate by single strand polymorphism analysis and sequencing. Phylogenetic trees identified only two isolates as member of subgroup II, while all other isolates were part of subgroup IA. This survey confirms an unexpected increment of CM…
Les Campaniformes dans le sud-est de la France
2004
The term "Bell Beaker", in the strict sense, designates a ceramic beaker form with an S-shaped profile that gives it the shape of an inverted bell. This type of drinking-vessel is characterized by both its very particular pattern of decoration and by the generally skilled execution of that decoration. By extension, the decoration characteristic of these beakers bas allowed the expansion of the category "Bell-Beaker" to include other pottery forms and even other types of decoration showing the same tradition, vvhich probably represent an evolution or reproduction of the original Bell Beaker pattern, The recognition of these objects and their definition as a class date to the nineteenth centu…
La fin des temps néolithiques
2004
The chapter presents the state of knowledge on the end of the Neolithic era in the department of Vaucluse. It evokes the known sites and their distribution, the chronology of the period ranging between the end of the Middle Neolithic and the Early Bronze Age and the archaeological cultures present. Several paragraphs sets of themes take stock of research concerning ceramics, tools, metal, ornament, habitat, economy, burials and art.
