Abstract The highly unique zigzag-shaped stem phenotype in tea plants boasts significant ornamental value and is exceptionally rare.To investigate the genetic mechanism behind this trait, we developed BC1 artificial hybrid populations.Our genetic analysis revealed the zigzag-shaped trait as a qualitative trait.Utilizing whole-genome resequencing, w
The leaching paradox and return flow management options for sustainable irrigated agriculture
Leaching is necessary to maintain Power Boards an acceptable salt balance in the root-zone of irrigated crops.This however contributes to point and non-point source water pollution externalities if not managed correctly.The use of a linear programming model, SALMOD (Salinity and Leaching Model for Optimal Irrigation Development) is demonstrated to
