β¦ Synopsis
This paper reports marked seasonal variations in the stomatal resistance, not attributable to closure associated with water stress, in freshly irrigated cotton leaves. Viscous resistance measurements taken in the field were combined with data on stomatal anatomy to infer seasonal changes in diffusive resistance and to determine the factors of leaf and stomatal anatomy responsible for these seasonal variations. Increases in diffusive resistance were found to be almost equally influenced by smaller stomatal densities and narrower slit width of stomata. Since seasonal trends in resistance were coherent between years this information can be used in interpreting effects of water stress.

## Background: Although environmental conditions can influence the expression of glycoconjugates (gcs) in the epidermis and cutaneous gland of amphibians, seasonal features regarding gcs in frogs have rarely been studied. in the present study, we report the seasonal variations of the integumental g
A whiteΓy (Bemisia argentifolii) resistance crisis climaxed in 1995 in Arizona cotton and prompted the development of an integrated resistance management strategy adapted from a program implemented in Israel in 1987. The strategy incorporated two new major elements : once-per-year use of the insect
