Effect of Sodium Nitroprusside with Plant Growth Regulators on in vitro Propagation and Genetic Stability of ‘Barhee’ Date Palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) by Al-Mayahi Ahmed Madi Waheed

“…Date palm micropropagation still faces many limitations in practical applications due to tissue browning, reduced callus growth and development, low organogenesis and multiplication efficiency, and low rooting rate. This study investigated the effects of sodium nitroprusside (SNP), a source of nitric oxide and plant growth regulators, on the growth attributes and some biochemical constituents of in vitro cultured ‘Barhee’ date palm. …”

The Propagation Properties of a Longitudinal Orbital Angular Momentum Multiplexing System in Atmospheric Turbulence by Qinghua Tian, Lei Zhu, Yongjun Wang, Qi Zhang, Bo Liu, Xiangjun Xin

“…It is found that in the limited apertures, the detection probability spectrum of the LOAMM system is inversely proportional to OAM mode numbers, strength of turbulence, and propagation distance. The bit-error rate and aggregate capacities are compared between the traditional OAM-based space-division-multiplexing (OAM-SDM) system with Bessel beams and our proposed LOAMM system. …”
