Effects of Organic Farming on Winter Plant Composition, Cover and Diversity in Olive Grove Ecosystems in Central Greece
(2013)The present study aimed to assess the effects of organic farming in comparison with conventional on plant composition, plant cover (%), diversity [species richness, Shannon, Simpson, and evenness (Pielou's) indexes] and ... -
Effects of ozone fumigation on cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) morphology, anatomy, physiology, yield and qualitative characteristics of fibers
(2009)This experiment was conducted to study the effect of high ozone concentrations on two cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) cultivars. Two cotton cultivars (Roma nos and Allegria) were exposed to con trol (CF < 4 ppb O(3)) and ... -
Effects of Pea Cultivation as Cover Crop on Nitrogen-Use Efficiency and Nitrogen Uptake by Subsequent Maize and Sunflower Crops in a Sandy Soil in Central Greece
(2013)The long-term positive effects of cropping systems involving rotation with cover crops on soil properties and the environment are well recognized. The present work concerns a 3-year field experiment focusing on two cropping ... -
Effects of the active constituents of Crocus sativus L., crocins, in an animal model of anxiety
(2008)Crocus sativus L. is a plant cultivated in various parts of the world. Crocins are among the active components of Crocus sativus L. The present study was designed to investigate in the rat whether or not crocins possess ... -
Electrical conductivity and pH prediction in a recirculated nutrient solution of a greenhouse soilless rose crop
(2006)The influence of nutrient solution (1) mixing rate, and (2) time of use on pH and electrical conductivity (EC) of a recirculated nutrient solution used for the irrigation of a greenhouse soilless rose crop was studied. ... -
Ethnopharmacological approach to the herbal medicines of the "Antidotes" in Nikolaos Myrepsos' Dynameron
(2015)Ethnopharmacological relevance:This paper focuses on the plants quoted in the recipes of the first chapter entitled "About the Antidotes" belonging to the first and largest section "Element Alpha" of Nikolaos Myrepsos' ... -
Factors affecting seed germination and emergence of Venice mallow (Hibiscus trionum)
(2008)Venice mallow is an emerging weed problem in many regions of the world in various crops. Studies on its hard seed coat were conducted by scanning electron, light, and fluorescence microscopy. The effects of environmental ... -
Heavy metal concentrations in soils and irrigation waters in Thessaly region, Central Greece
(2005)The purpose of this work was to provide information on heavy metals concentrations in soils and in irrigation water in Thessaly, Central Greece, where tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) is cultivated. Tobacco tends to accumulate ... -
Heavy-Metal Concentration in Tobacco Leaves in Relation to Their Available Soil Fractions
(2009)Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) is one of the most important agricultural products in Greece. The accumulation of heavy metals in tobacco leaves in accordance with a possible risk of transferring them to people by smoke is ... -
Herbaceous Plant Diversity and Identification of Indicator Species in Olive Groves in Central Greece
(2013)The present study is aimed at assessing the herbaceous plant diversity and determining the specific species related to different management systems in olive grove ecosystems [organic, conventional (unsprayed), and conventional ... -
High-resolution melting analysis for rapid detection and characterization of Botrytis cinerea phenotypes resistant to fenhexamid and boscalid
(2014)A novel, high-resolution melting (HRM) analysis was developed to detect single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with resistance to fenhexamid (hydroxyanilides) and boscalid (succinate dehydrogenase inhibitors) ... -
High-Resolution Melting approaches towards plant fungal molecular diagnostics
(2015)Reliable and early molecular detection of phytopathogenic fungi is crucial in an era where the expansion of global trade in plant material is undoubtedly increasing the risk of invasive outbreaks, with devastating effects ... -
Impact of New Soil Amendments on the Uptake of Lead by Crops
(2013)In the present article, the reclamation of lead (Pb)-contaminated soils by adding zeolite, bentonite, goethite, and two newly produced adsorbents consisting of zeolite and goethite (systems I and II) was studied. These ... -
In-vitro development of ovules obtained after pollination of cotton (Gossypium spp) flowers with pollen from okra (Abelmoschus esculentus L-Moench)
(2007)The in vitro response of ovules obtained after pollination of cotton flowers with pollen from Abelmoschus esculentus was studied. For this, 492 cotton flowers from five G. hirsutum varieties, four G. barbadense varieties ... -
