    Influence of ventilation closures on plant growth parameters, acclimation and anatomy of leaf surface in Scrophularia yoshimurae Yamazaki - a medicinal plant native to Taiwan

    No full text
    Different ventilation closures, including aluminum foil (AF) and a varying number of dispense papers (DP) had different effects on leaf growth parameters, in vitro rooting, survival rate and the anatomical features of the leaf surface of in vitro and ex vitro acclimated plants of Scrophularia yoshimurae—an important medicinal plant. The lowest plant growth parameters and ex vitro acclimation rate (<7.0%) were obtained using AF as ventilation closure. A scanning electron microscopy (SEM) study of leaf surfaces of plants derived from different ventilation closure treatments showed that parameters—including density and size of epidermal cell and stomata, size of guard cells, and stomata aperture-differed significantly among various treatments, and this in turn affected plant survival rate. Leaves derived from AF treatment had higher epidermal cell (15094 cells/mm2) and stomata (38/mm2) densities than DP treatments. Well-ventilated container closures, such as with DP, improved the morphological characteristics of leaves and in turn enhanced the survival rate during ex vitro acclimation (maximum rate being 66.7%). The present study not only provides an improved micropropagation method of S. yoshimurae but also gives scientific reasons for the different acclimation rates obtained with various container closures

    Scattering Amplitudes of Massive N=2 Gauge Theories in Three Dimensions

    Full text link
    We study the scattering amplitudes of mass-deformed Chern-Simons theories and Yang-Mills-Chern-Simons theories with N=2 supersymmetry in three dimensions. In particular, we derive the on-shell supersymmetry algebras which underlie the scattering matrices of these theories. We then compute various 3 and 4-point on-shell tree-level amplitudes in these theories. For the mass-deformed Chern-Simons theory, odd-point amplitudes vanish and we find that all of the 4-point amplitudes can be encoded elegantly in superamplitudes. For the Yang-Mills-Chern-Simons theory, we obtain all of the 4-point tree-level amplitudes using a combination of perturbative techniques and algebraic constraints and we comment on difficulties related to computing amplitudes with external gauge fields using Feynman diagrams. Finally, we propose a BCFW recursion relation for mass-deformed theories in three dimensions and discuss the applicability of this proposal to mass-deformed N=2 theories
