The recent growth in herbarium-based phenological research is arguably a product of the growing interest in climate change and phenology around the turn of 21st century . Researchers realized that herbarium specimens could potentially be used to detect and quantify long-term phenological shifts in response to climate change. This, in turn, led to the use of …

All of these factors make the application of functional genomics studies difficult in avocado
Potassium phosphite has been an effectively preventative and curative agent against avocado PRR since the early 1980s. However, there are only a limited number of reports on reduced in vitro sensitivities of a few Phytophthora spp., including: P. capsici, P. cinnamomi, P. citrophthora, P. infestans, P. nicotianae, and P. syringae . Although the mode of …
Herbarium specimens are critical to understanding and mitigating those changes
Although Willis et al. found no difference in average counts between experts and non-experts, non-expert counts tended to be more variable per specimen. This in part depended on the specimen being assessed—specimens with more objects to count had higher error rates. As with any crowdsourcing project, care should be taken when choosing which specimens and taxa …

My findings remain qualitatively stable and statistically significant
Figure 1.12, in contrast, plots the naïve relationship between average picker productivity and piece rate wages, temperature, and two other observable characteristics: time of observation and worker tenure by season. First, note that productivity and piece rate are negatively correlated, since farmers lower the piece rate when fruit is plentiful in the fields. Second, note that …

The complexity synthesis of PU results in a large molecular weight and rigid structure
Phenolic extraction parameters and effects of wet and dried pomegranate peel were studied, aiming to increase the extraction sustainability with reduced cost. The chemical characteristics of the extracted components were also evaluated. The study in Chapter 3 investigated the potential of developing functional food fortified with a value-added ingredient from pomegranate peel extract, specifically Greek …
This strain has enabled the high production of multiple molecules of interest
A recent study utilized an industrially scalable delivery of self-replicating viral vectors to transform a variety of crop species, such as tomato, potato, and spinach, with successful alterations to reproduction, stature, and drought tolerance . This method could befurther developed for the introduction of biosynthetic pathways for bio-active phytochemicals into single generations of crop species. Advancements …

It is noteworthy that DEET per se is an oviposition deterrent
We then tested how CquiOR21 would respond to other commercially available repellents, i.e., PMD, IR3535, and picaridin. In these new preparations, CquiOR21/CquiOrcoexpressing oocytes responded to DEET and IR3535 with dose-dependent outward currents . Picaridin elicited minor outward currents at lower doses but robust outward currents at 1 mM dose. By contrast, PMD did not elicit …

Using log predicted the data better than establishment time as linear predictor
Coinfection by two genetically different isolates together in the same plant has been documented before , and there are reports of artificial mixed infection of a vector and of a single vector being able to transmit all four subspecies of X. fastidiosa . Moreover, it was shown that isolates from two different subspecies can cause disease …

The single-species databases were created using a computational pipeline and Methods
Linking to these chemical databases provides a more in-depth source of information on the compounds and their physical and chemical properties. In summary, PMN is a broad resource for plant metabolism and continues to be under active development and expansion. The large number of predicted databases in PMN 15 allows us to evaluate the quality …
Severe shortage of data has become a barrier to take advantage of deep learning methods
The accumulation in Parlier was greatest for the remainder of the season and was closely followed by Wilmington. Salem accumulation was the least of the three regions presented in the US. In Salem, accumulation followed a similar pattern in 2012 compared to 2013, but the total number of degree-day degree-days was less in 2012 compared to …
