Red and red-far red combination resulted in the highest stem elongation but with stem fragility. When Lactucasativa of variety red curly lettuce was grown under different light spectrum, it was found that anthocyanin synthesis, protein content and phenylalanine ammonia-lyase enzyme activity were highest in combined radiation of blue and red-light treatment . In another study, …

The Ghanaian agricultural-dependent economy has thus suffered severe economic consequences
A total of one hundred and nineteen structured questionnaires were developed and thirty percentage of the root crop farmers,were randomly selected in each of the seven sampled community for interviewing.Questionnaires were distributed to educated farmers young and old, or who had educated relatives in their compounds after thorough explanations of the aim and objectives of …
The specific objective of this study is to inform adaptation policy making processes
Among the precipitations, the Northeast precipitation is caused by occluding cyclones above the Sea of Japan, while the East border precipitation is induced by the same cyclone but formed at sea level. The Southwest precipitation is wrought by the frontal effects between southwest moist wind and the northwest dry wind. The West to east precipitation …
The cause of this destruction is attributed to food production
The latest record from government agency shows that there is an estimate of 6.8hectares of forestlands with a net loss of 400,000 hectares every year.Therefore, to maintain sustainable food production while providing housing and industrial uses to lands, House Bill 4750 or the “Urban Agriculture Act of 2011”, and House Bill No. 720 known as …

A study has shown that reduced leaf chlorophyll content per unit leaf area was associated with high growth performance
Specifically, water stress resulted in the lowest increase in leaf area development , and leaf size tended to decrease with decreasing water supply. A study found that leaf area was strongly negatively correlated with leaf water loss,suggesting that bigger leaves of P. sibirica and U. pumila in 4 and 8 L h−1 irrigation levels may …
Vernalization insensitivity and flowering time in white lupin are controlled by a highly complex multi-locus system
Australia is the largest producer, with 47.1% of the global production, while Europe is second according to FAOSTAT . In Europe L. angustifolius L. and L. luteus L. are the predominant cultivated species in the north and countries with more than 10,000 ha of lupins are Poland, the Russian Federation, Germany, Belarus, and Ukraine. In …
The same important antifungal activity of BrCl-flav was evidenced by the growth kinetics studies
We previously showed that this compound has a remarkable antibacterial activity at low concentrations: 0.24 µg/mL against Staphylococcus aureus and 3.9 µg/mL against Escherichia coli . As such, we have strong reasons to consider that BrCl-flav has a good potential for the development of new antimicrobial agents. Therefore, further studies using four clinical Candida isolates …
All parties’ contribution is essential for interventions to be successful
The global recognition of the importance of this approach in also reflected in the G20 Rome Declaration from the recent Global Health Summit, held in May 2021 . The locution of One Health is undoubtedly not novel to parasitologists, who, by vocation, study infections and their causative agents and hosts, at the interface with human …

No significant change was observed in CA1 in all the studied parameters
Previous documents show that increased photosynthetic capacity due to Mo supply contributes to the accumulation of carbohydrates, such as fructose and glucose.We observed that lipids, fibers, and saponins were significantly increased in CA1. Flavonoids were increased reasonably in CA3.Different impacts of Mo were observed in different species/cultivars, which might be due to different genetic backgrounds …

The CIAT’s cassava research took the initiative to contribute to such approach
The potential yield of bioethanol is apparently higher in cassava than for any other plant species, including the traditional bioethanol source crops such as maize, sweet sorghum and sugarcane. However, the gap between the potential experimental yields of cassava and the actual yields on farmers’ fields is more than fivefold . With the exception of …
