Sink tissues had very little changes of 14C in starch under stress

Source and sink tissues therefore partitioned carbon into starch differently in response to abiotic stress . Source leaf showed reduced 14C partitioning into starch at MD under both mild and severe salinity and osmotic stress, and at ED under severe stress only.Since the plants were labeled 5 h after the stress treatment, the 14C flux into starch …

The geographic diversity of California has led to broad evolution in native plants

However, the number of invasive plants with horticultural origin is high, making it critically important to natural resource managers, ecologists and policymakers to predict which newly introduced species pose the greatest risk of escape and invasion.California has approximately 3,400 species of native plants, of which 24% are found only in the state . However, California …

We used rotated principal components analysis to split the GHA into two sub-regions

Recently, a number of studies suggested that increased SSTs in the STIO may cause large-scale changes in atmospheric circulation and divert important moisture transports away from the GHA, altering previous relationships between regional circulation and precipitation . In an analysis of boreal spring , Williams and Funk found that higher SSTs in the STIO have driven …

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 …
