In this thesis we propose a shooting algorithm for partially affine optimal control problems, this is, systems in which the controls appear both linearly and nonlinearly in the dynamics. Since the shooting system generally ...

Aims: Wheat and barley plants exposed to waterlogging reduced their growth, but the final impact on grain yield depends on the capacity of the plant to recover after stress. The aim of this study was to evaluate shoot and ...

Shoot elongation of Hancornia speciosa, an endangered tree from the Brazilian savannah ""Cerrado"", is very slow, thus limiting nursery production of plants. Gibberellins (GAs) A(1), A(3), and A(5), and two inhibitors of ...
