characterization of canola sprouts is based on four cultivars that were common to National Canola Trials during 2001 to 2002 and 2002 to 2003 crop seasons (‘Banjo’, ‘KS8200’, ‘KS8227’, and ‘Virginia’). We had initially studied sprouts made from the 10 highest
to those in sprouts of alfalfa, brussels sprout, mungbean, and radish based on literature values for these crops. Given that there is a lack of fatty acid profile of canola sprouts in the literature, we are now reporting the contents of various fatty
regulators. Table 2. Frequency of callus formation from sprouted seed explants of Chlorophytum amaniense ‘Fire Flash’ after 8-week culture on a Murashige and Skoog basal medium z containing different concentrations of growth regulators under a photon flux
explants from each stem location (apical, top, middle, base) and origin (adult plants, sprouts, micropropagated plantlets) were collected during April to May, June to July, and November, indicative of the periods when explants exhibited intense, low, and
-old seedlings. The rootstocks were pruned ≈2 cm above the patch bud in Feb. 2014 while the trees were dormant. The pruned rootstock tops were used as hardwood cuttings. Hardwood cutting. Hardwood cuttings collected from the basal portion of the pruned rootstock

Abstract
Naphthaleneacetic acid ethyl ester (NAA-ethyl ester) sprays applied to the base of apple (Malus domestica Borkh.) nursery stock for sprout control suppressed sprout development. Rates of 0.25, 0.50, and 1% resulted in significantly less sprout development than the 0.125% rate. Sprout length was suppressed only by the second applications of the 0.25, 0.50, and 1% rates. A second application of the 0.50 and 1% rates killed the existing sprouts at time of application. Trees treated with 1% NAA-ethyl ester were shorter and smaller in diameter. The 0.25 and 0.50% rates were equally as effective in sprout control as the 1% rate, without adversely affecting tree height and diameter.
Abstract
The effect of early pinching with 3 commercial formulations containing fatty alcohols or methyl esters of fatty acids applied to Brussels sprouts (Brassica oleracea L. Gemmifera group) was studied. Pinching was carried out at 2 stages of plant development. Pinching before the sprouts were visible, resulted in low yields of poorer quality, while manually topped plants gave excessive amounts of waste sprouts. At the second treatment date, when the basal sprouts were 0.3 cm in diameter, the same tendency was noted for every treatment, except Emgard 2077, which is a combination of methyl esters of fatty acids. The yield from ‘Topscore’ plants treated with 12% Emgard 2077 was slightly higher than that of the untopped plants. However, the amount of larger sprouts (> 30 mm) produced was greater than that obtained from untopped plants.
Abstract
Naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) ethyl ester was applied in the spring at 5 rates from 0.125% to 1.0% on vigorous 6-, 9-, and 13-year-old standard ‘Delicious’ apple (Malus domestica Borkh.) trees as either an individual pruning cut or scaffold limb treatment. NAA in a 40% white latex paint solution or as a 1% asphalt based aerosol significantly reduced the number of sprouts/100 cuts using both methods of application. There was no significant difference between the 1.0% latex paint solution and the asphalt based formulation. Scaffold limb treatment with NAA significantly reduced the number of sprouts per 122 cm of scaffold limb; however, some bark blistering and minor splitting was observed on trees treated with 1.0% NAA. Treating individual cuts was generally less effective in reducing the total number of sprouts at concentrations lower than 1%.
