Warm temperature during floral bud transition turns off EjTFL1 gene expression and promotes flowering in Loquat (Eriobotrya japonica Lindl.).

The Rosaceae family includes several deciduous woody species whose flower development extends over two consecutive growing seasons with a winter dormant period in between. Loquat (Eriobotrya japonica Lindl.) belongs to this family, but it is an evergreen species whose flower bud initiation and flowering occur within the same growing year.

[Rate of episiotomy in the University Clinical Hospital of Arrixaca and factors that influence in its practice.].

Objective: The conduction of episiotomy is a questioned practice given the strong scientific evidence on its adverse effects. The study objectives were to know the episiotomy rate and its adaptation to the recommendations of the Ministry of Health, Consumption and Social Welfare and assess the associated factors.

Methods: It has been made a Observational, descriptive and transversal quantitative study, it was carried out in the university clinical hospital arrixaca.

Bud sprouting and floral induction and expression of FT in loquat [Eriobotrya japonica (Thunb.) Lindl.].

EjFT1 and EjFT2 genes were isolated and sequenced from leaves of loquat. EjFT1 is involved in bud sprouting and leaf development, and EjFT2 in floral bud induction. Loquat [Eriobotrya japonica (Thunb.
