In this study, we examined over 200-year-old L. specimens under different environmental conditions. The overall aim was to explore which factors influence their vitality and general fitness in urban environments and thus their ability to tolerate stressful habitats.

The handheld leaf spectrometers help validate these images at the field scale. This dataset was captured by the CI-710 s SpectraVue Leaf Spectrometer (Cid-Bioscience, Camas, WA, U.

The aim of this study was to determine the effects of genotype (three registered varieties and eight F crossing combinations) and induction medium (W14mf and P4mf) on anther cultures (ACs) of triticale (× Wittmack). Androgenesis was induced in the treatment of each tested genotype, and the genotype significantly influenced the efficiency of AC, including in embryo-like structures (ELSs), albinos, green plantlets, and transplanted plantlets.

These data can be acquired with satellites, drones and handheld spectrometers. In this research, handheld spectrometer data were validated by chlorophyll-a fluorescence measurements under natural cold stress.

These unfavourable factors could have a serious impact on germination as well as on later growth, causing many types of damage. Recently, polyploid breeding can offer an alternative opportunity to enhance the yield and abiotic stress tolerance in rice breeding.
