These data are from two experiments conducted to determine the effect of seasonal thermoperiodicity on Camassia leichtlinii, Camassia quamash, and Toxicoscordion venenosum. Descriptions of the methodology used to collect this data can be found in the article, "Effects of Heat Treatment and Chilling Duration on Camas Growth and Development."

The original data of qRT-PCR

Protein sequences of genes involved in ABA signal transduction from tomato, Arabidopsis and Peach.

Data set includes the raw data of results on biomass production (weight of roots, stems and leaves), gene expression (three genes) and nutrient concentration in leaves of hydroponic tomato plants.

Includes; analysis of correlation between indices, The dry weight of all ecotypes, which includes male and female plants In two replicates which includes water deficit stress and control treatment.

Loquat (Eriobotrya japonica Lindl.) leaves are often used as herbal or folk medicines and applied into modern pharmacology. In this study, the effect of three shading levels (control/non-shading, monolayer netting, bilayer netting) and the duration (0-88 days) on leaf gas exchange, leaf mineral nutrients, ursolic acid (UA) and oleanolic acid (OA) accumulation of loquat trees, Xinbai1, were assessed. The results indicated that UA and OA production improvement can be up to 17.20% and 9.35% respectively during bilayer netting treatments compared with control trees. Besides, a series of mixed-effect linear models with treatments and its duration as random effects revealed that leaf transpiration within crown, Ca, P and K concentrations represented the most parsimonious combination for both UA and OA, consistent with the patterns in random forest regressions. Therefore, it emphasized that shading would be the potential cultural practices for high production of UA and OA through increasing foliar mineral nutrients.

Data show the results found in the evaluation of rootstocks, crop season and crop site or location on the Tahiti lime quality. As appareance is the most important trait for quality in the international market, this criteria was the response variable choosen. However different symptomatology can be identified in the external appearance of the fruit that can be triggered by either preharvest, or postharvest factors. In the current study, the effect of the location (Lebrija and Villavicencio), the rootstocks (Citromelo, Kryder and Volkameriana), the crop season (dry and rainy seasons) and the storage conditions (temperature and disinfection) on fruit quality were assessed. The relationship between the damage affecting the appearance and the evaluation factors were identified using a Pearson Chi-square statistical analysis. The best quality was observed in fruit from Lebrija, harvested in the dry season, disinfected, and stored at 10 °C. In the identification of the biological factors that affect the appearance of the Tahiti lime fruit, fungi developed during pre- and post-harvest phase were isolated, and strains of the genera Colletotrichum spp., Fusarium spp., Alternaria spp., Penicillium spp., Acremonium spp., Trichoderma spp., Curvularia spp., Phoma spp., Stachybotrys spp., and Ulocladium spp.,were identified.
