Single-peril insurance was rarely used by growers of ornamentals

The mean values of the all-year deviations indicated that vegetable yields fluctuated less than fruits/nuts in aggregate . This was consistent with our intuition. Unlike many perennial crops, vegetables have short growing seasons. In California, they are planted and harvested continuously throughout the year, which results in relatively smooth yield fluctuations on an annual basis. Crop-specific …

The phytohormone JA is a 13-LOX oxylipin derived from lino lenic acid

Based on this linear model, we developed a all markers’ and marker pairs’ effects, those with higher −log10 PATOWAS pipeline to analyze traits through multiple ome- values indicate markers or marker pairs that are more relevant wide association studies. Therefore, the proposed model and to the phenotypic trait. PATOWAS can be used to study not …

Post-hoc analysis of mean differences were performed using Tukey’s HSD test

Multiple measurements of plant growth were evaluated in order to comprehensively assess the potential of BC as an alternative to peat in soil-free substrates . Germination rates were determined by daily counts for the first 10 days following sowing, after which seedlings were thinned to 1 per pot. Seedlings were transplanted into pots that had zero …

Leaves were ground to fine powder using mortar and pestle with liquid nitrogen

Fremont “forager” research was stimulated by the work of Steve Simms at Topaz Slough m Utah’s west desert. Topaz Slough was characterized as a temporary Fremont occupation and seemed evidence of an adaptation quite different from the more often investigated Fremont village sites. As a consequence of Shnms’ findings, which but on the work of Madsen …

The mean intake of local sheep protein was reported to be one day per week

Studies identified mutton as a core food staple, comprising 6% of the total energy and 10% of the total protein consumed in the Diné diet. The current study participants reported that 35% of their total protein meat intake is comprised by local O. aries.In the study community, the typical serving size per foodstuff is reported …

Logue was a leading figure in co-operative studies and the employee ownership movement

While the GUC is an economic and cultural engine, it is surrounded by seven low income and racially segregated neighborhoods. The median income for households in these communities is $18,500; it is $47,626 in the rest of the city . Unemployment sits at 24 percent, nearly three times the rate for the city at large . …

It is not sufficient that farmers and consumers perceive net benefits from GM crop varieties

The GM varieties that have been developed and adopted extensively to date have not experienced significant price discounts because of buyer resistance. This can probably be attributed to the nature of the crops. For feed grains, the buyers are other farmers who are comfortable with the technology, and for fiber crops such as cotton the …

Nutrients would diffuse and advect from the bulk soil toward the root zone

However, more work is required to determine how to better represent coupled microbe–plant nutrient competition and transport limitations. For example, we have previously shown that one can apply a homogenous soil environment assumption and include the substrate diffusivity constraint in the ECA competition parameters. In this approach, the diffusivity constraint can be directly integrated into the substrate …

The revision will be implemented in steps and could facilitate the field based production of PMPs

As a consequence, a larger amount of product can be delivered earlier, which can help to prevent the disease from spreading once a vaccine becomes available. In addition to conventional chromatography, several generic purification strategies have been developed to rapidly isolate products from crude plant extracts in a cost-effective manner . Due to their generic nature, …

A more robust strain could have higher resistances to salts present in the effluent

The dry biomass measurement showed highly unexpected results, with the TP-Effluent having more biomass accumulation than even TAP. One explanation for this result is that the residual chemicals in the effluent were not properly washed away or evaporated during the dry biomass collection process. KHCO3 is a salt that could have been retained in the dry …
