Fruits,tree-nuts, and vegetables represent about half of these totals, while dairy and poultry products, and grains are also major contributors.In 1998, fresh and processed fruits, tree-nuts, and vegetables had the greatest impact of any commodity group on California’s economy, generating about half the direct and indirect sales, total income, value added and jobs related to …

The first consisted of measures primarily intended to drain and protect agricultural land
For these reasons California became the only substantial market for the header technology. The header technology evolved in an entirely different direction from the reaper, leading directly to the development in California of a commercial combined harvester. From the starting point of the header, it was quite simple and natural to add a thresher pulled …
Recently developed occupancy models are designed for this task
Under baseline conditions, agricultural land use comprised 46% of the study area. Vineyard, pasture, and row crops make up approximately a quarter each of this agricultural area, followed by grains , while alfalfa, rice, and orchards accounted for less than 4% each. Under the enhanced agriculture scenario, the agricultural footprint increased to 68% of the study area, and …

Nitrogen content might be related to decomposability of fungal tissue
Mannuronate and guluronate blocks of the alginate have the capability for Mn2+ binding . However, at high alginate treatment the accumulation of Mn in roots was similar to the accumulation obtained with NPs alone. More experiments are needed to explain these results. In the case of Zn, the medium alginate treatment increased its accumulation in roots by …

Insertional mutagenesis is a powerful strategy for gene identification and functional genomics in plants
We also demonstrate the importance of resin selection and thorough chromatography operation optimization by evaluating the cost benefit of maximizing resin binding capacity to target product. Of course, further work is needed to verify whether the use of column chromatography is needed. Transient production of thaumatin in the edible crop Spinacia oleracea was also economically competitive and …
Doubled haploids quickly provide largeamounts of seed for replicated field trials
Since these technologies are unlikely to be mission critical during Artemis, their TRL can be increased and their risk factors studied through in-space evaluation. The Artemis missions also provide a test bed to evaluate the space-based evolution of microbes and alterations of seed stocks as a risk inherent to the biological component of the biomanufactory. This risk …

Similar for trichloroethylene that was observed at extremely low levels indoors
The concentration of toluene in the building exhaust was 120 µg m-3, more than double the highest level measured indoors, suggesting a possible toluene source in the restrooms. The cleaning compound 2-butoxyethanol was slightly higher indoors, but at very low concentrations.The compounds listed in this category have many sources, including outdoor air. For the most …

These changes should be reflected in the concentration of various metabolites after exposure
Direct investigation of N2O production and fate in the soil profile has not advanced far, and is only beginning in the fertigation context. It is increasingly clear that much, if not most, soil N2O might be reduced before emission from surface. It is commonly assumed that the upper 20 cm play the central role in surface …
TEM images further substantiated the intact transport of NPs into plants
The [64Cu]-NP-uptake and accumulation amounts observed within lettuce seedlings were reasonable and comparable to others reports in the literature, reaching the same general conclusions that NP transport and accumulation in plants is species and size dependent.Smaller NPs have been demonstrated to have higher accumulation in plants than larger NPs. For example, Ni-NPs had very high NP …

We first established the glycoform distribution of rituximab derived from untreated plants
The process of Velaglucerase alpha was design to modify the glycosylation profile of the protein toward oligomannose N-glycans to improve mannose-receptor mediated uptake of the drug into macrophages, the target cells. Here, we determined the optimal concentration of kifunensine and demonstrate that kifunensine addition at a concentration of 0.375 µM in the Agrobacterium infiltration solution of …
