Characteristics of Callus and Cell Suspension Cultures of Highbush Blueberry ( L.) Cultivated in the Presence of Different Concentrations of 2,4-D and BAP in a Nutrient Medium.

In this work, cultures of callus and suspension cells originating from leaves of sterile highbush blueberry ( L.) plants were obtained and characterized. For their active growth and production of phenolic compounds, a combination of 2,4-D at a concentration of 0.

Is a picture worth the same emotions everywhere? Validation of images from the Nencki affective picture system in Malaysia.

Several validated image sets, such as NAPS, IAPS, GAPED, and OASIS, have been developed to elicit affective states. However, these image sets were primarily validated on Western populations within European and American contexts, and none have been fully validated in a Southeast Asian sample, where emotional restraint may also be valued similarly to the East Asian contexts. This study aimed to validate and provide norms for the Nencki Affective Picture System (NAPS; Marchewka et al.

Development of Analytical Model to Describe Reflectance Spectra in Leaves with Palisade and Spongy Mesophyll.

Remote sensing plays an important role in plant cultivation and ecological monitoring. This sensing is often based on measuring spectra of leaf reflectance, which are dependent on morphological, biochemical, and physiological characteristics of plants. However, interpretation of the reflectance spectra requires the development of new tools to analyze relations between plant characteristics and leaf reflectance.

Anger and disgust shape judgments of social sanctions across cultures, especially in high individual autonomy societies.

When someone violates a social norm, others may think that some sanction would be appropriate. We examine how the experience of emotions like anger and disgust relate to the judged appropriateness of sanctions, in a pre-registered analysis of data from a large-scale study in 56 societies. Across the world, we find that individuals who experience anger and disgust over a norm violation are more likely to endorse confrontation, ostracism and, to a smaller extent, gossip.
