Cordia Myxa

ABSTRACTCordia myxa L. is a medium-sized broad-leaved deciduous tree of flowering plant belongs to Boraginaceae. It grows naturally from dry desert India up to hills of Himalayas in India up to 1400 m elevation above mean sea level. Fruits are mostly used for pickle making and dried for its use in local off season vegetable recipes since long time. The ripe fruits are full of vitamins and its regular use is supposed to be helpful in good growth of hair. Lasuda preparations are, thus, good for people whose constitution might have tendency to go bald. In addition to fruit, Lasuda bark and roots are also very effective as a local remedy against cough, cold and various other ailments connected with indigestion and throat problems. At regional research laboratory of Dr. Y. S. Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry, Nauni (India) we are working for the last 12 years on various aspects like propagation and development of promising strains of Cordia myxa. Grafting/budding techniques have been standardized to produce true to type precocious plants which bear flower and fruits in two to three years. However, flowering and fruiting has been observed in six months old seedling of seed origin, which can be ascribed to biochemical or cellular changes. Early flowering and fruiting is a rare phenomenon in tree seedlings of the species which otherwise flower at the age of 7-8 years. This could be very useful for manipulating the species at gene as well as physiological level in future to get early fruits and breeding of the species.

The article describes the morphological characteristics and biochemical parameters of a very little studied wild species Linum pubescens (downy flax). This representative of the genus Linum naturally grows in the eastern Mediterranean: Palestine, Syria, Lebanon, Israel, Turkey, Iraq, Greece, Cyprus, Albania. There are brief references to it in the description of the flora of these regions. In Israel, on natural populations of L. pubescens, studies of dimorphic heterostyly, anatomical features of the flower, mechanisms of pollination and incompatibility were carried out. However, other signs, including economically valuable ones, are not described in him. We were the first to study the species ex-situ in a field bank. It was found that in the arid conditions of the southeastern Steppe of Ukraine L. pubescens has a one-year development cycle, a height of 30 cm, 1.2 flowering stems, a bright pink flower with a diameter of 25 mm, a small slightly elongated box with a diameter of 2.7 mm, weight 1000 seeds is 0.6 g, and the leaf area is 218.9 mm2. Plants bloom in mid-July- September. Taking into account the rather large size, the bright color of the flower and the flowering period, we believe that the L. pubescens species has prospects of use as an ornamental flowering plant. In the resulting artificial population of L. pubescens, dimorphic heterostyly is clearly traced. Long and short pest morphs are clearly identified. L. pubescens seeds contain 24% protein and 35% oil. The fatty acid composition of the oil belongs to the "linum-type", like most other types of flax. With a low content of saturated acids (palmitic 6.7% and stearic 2.8%) and a significant predominance of unsaturated acids, especially linolenic up to 64%. It was revealed that this species has a dense non-cracking capsule. This trait is unusual for other flax varieties. Most annual and perennial species are characterized by moderate to severe cracking. Cultivated flax has a non-cracking boll, but not a hard one that breaks easily. It was found that less organic matter and more ash elements accumulate in the capsules and seeds of L. pubescens than in other species of the genus Linum. Probably, this feature, together with non-cracking, helps to better preserve fruits in difficult natural conditions and preserves seed germination for a long time. According to A.A. Zhuchenko, plant genetic resources are divided into six groups. At this stage, L. pubescen is classified as a wild weed relative. It was proposed to include L. pubescens in breeding work to create ornamental varieties in order to transfer it to the improved germplasm group in the future.

This article examines the development of a series of newly created research centres in the UK. They are of interest because of the novelty of their mission – to conduct research into the techniques and methods of handling large-scale datasets and, over a three-year period with Research Council support, to develop a portfolio of activities and customers able to sustain the Centre when core funding has expired. Christine Tiler examines the range of experience encountered by the Laboratories and draws out key factors which influenced their development. She pays particular attention to those factors which affected their ability to transform themselves into self-funding research and development organizations.

Abstract               Building a strong brand needs hard work and a relatively long time. Therefore it will be much faster and less risky when acquiring a brand that is well known and has a loyal market compared to creating a brand or new brand that is not necessarily successful. Acquiring a brand that has been proven to have performance and income and good growth is safer than developing its own brand. But if a misstep, acquisition can actually harm the company, both for the company being acquired and the company that acquires itKeywords: Acquisitions, Brands, Companies AbstrakMembangun merek yang kokoh perlu usaha yang keras dan waktu yang relative panjang. Oleh karena itu akan jauh lebih cepat dan kurang berisiko apabila mengakuisisi merek yang sudah dikenal dan memiliki pasar yang loyal dibanding dengan membuat merek atau brand baru yang belum tentu berhasil.  Mengakuisisi suatu merek yang sudah terbukti punya kinerja dan pendapatan serta pertumbuhan yang baik lebih aman daripada mengembangkan merek sendiri. Namun kalau salah langkah, akusisi justru bisa merugikan perusahaan, baik bagi perusahan yang diakuisisi maupun perusahaan yang mengakuisisiKata Kunci: Akuisisi, Merek, Perusahaan
