Some volatiles have been lost during domestication and breeding as a combined result of negative selection and linkage drag in tomato and watermelon . Likewise, gain and loss of terpene compounds during strawberry domestication and its genetic causes have been investigated . Recent advances in sequencing technology and analytical approaches have opened new opportunities to …

Limited prior research that has looked at the effects of multiple soil management practices indicates that metrics for soil health are a product of both inherent soil properties and dynamic soil properties . Whether available soil indicators could translate these soil properties and processes when management systems are complex remains unclear. As an added layer …
Farm Type I consistently showed the highest values for total soil N, total organic C, POXC, and soil protein, which suggests sites in this farm type had higher soil quality compared to Farm Type II and III; similarly, Farm Type II consistently showed intermediate values for all four indicators for soil organic matter. Lastly, Farm …
Elderflowers are used in products as either fresh or, more commonly, as dry flowers and as either whole or homogenized flowers . Therefore, each of these parameters were evaluated resulting in the following types of samples: fresh whole flowers ; dry whole flowers ; fresh homogenized flowers ; dry homogenized flowers . Phenolic compounds were …
The most significant impacts of the vineyard floor treatments were of the cover-crop treatments on soil parameters in the middles. Soil organic matter in cover-cropped middles was higher than in bare middles each year . Cover crops affected key soil nutrients in the middles; for instance, cover crops greatly reduced nitrate-nitrogen , and to a lesser extent, …

Because of their limited protein-coding capacities, geminiviruses rely heavily on host cellular machinery and interact with an assortment of plant proteins and pathways to promote infection . Although three of these genes have been assigned putative functions in viral DNA replication and coat formation , their specific functions in pathogenesis are yet to be elucidated. …

The site’s location on the flat, valley bottom of a river floodplain also means that its topography, while typical of other vineyard sites per se, created conditions that limit soil depth, drainage and decomposition. As such, the physical conditions examined here may differ significantly from more hilly regions in California, such as Sonoma and Mendocino …
The models all use community fixed effects and, for simplicity, have farm size entering linearly.The estimated coefficients from models 1 – 5 are largely consistent. They indicate a strong inverse relationship between farm size and frontier TFP and that the frontier is increasing over time, reflecting positive technical change. The coefficients on inputs are positive …

Plant morphology is more than an attribute affecting plant organization, it is also dynamic. Developmentally, morphology reveals itself over the lifetime of a plant through varying rates of cell division, cell expansion, and anisotropic growth . Response to changes in environmental conditions further modulate the above mentioned parameters. Development is genetically programmed and driven by biochemical …
EDD regularly obtains data on farmworkers and wages paid when employers pay unemployment insurance taxes. Employers who pay more than $100 in quarterly wages are required to register with the EDD and pay taxes of up to 6% on the first $7,000 of each worker’s earnings to cover the cost of unemployment insurance benefits for …
