The use of auxins to improve the vase life of cut flowers is very limited. Previous studies demonstrated that a pulse treatment of Red Cestrum ( Schlecht.) cut flowers with 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) significantly reduced floret bud abscission, whereas 1-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) was ineffective.

Background And Purpose: The application of motor imagery practice in the treatment of Parkinson's disease (PD) is a novel treatment approach for improving motor function. The purpose of this study was to compare group treatment using a combination of physical and motor imagery practice with group treatment using only physical practice in subjects with PD.
Methods: Of 23 patients with idiopathic PD, 12 received combined therapy, whereas 11 received physical therapy alone.
Article Synopsis
- The study examined how grapefruit juice cells absorb and use different types of sugars, specifically sucrose, glucose, and fructose.
- The researchers found that glucose and fructose were taken up more quickly than sucrose, and that the uptake rates peaked at certain times during the year, particularly from December to March.
- The process of sugar uptake was shown to be insatiable, meaning there was no maximum limit to how much sugar the cells could absorb, and metabolic inhibitors slightly reduced sugar uptake and conversion processes.
