Studies of PTI have focused on the bacterial peptides flagellin and EF-Tu and their action in Arabidopsis. These peptides are perceived by PRRs, receptor-like kinases that are crucial for perception of flagellin/EF-Tu and activation of PTI. However, unlike flagellin and EF-Tu, many of the historical elicitors that stimulate well-characterized defense responses in plants have not …

Although we did not directly measure selection in this study, we used the large body of work on drought adaptation to infer the adaptive value of specific trait combinations. We predicted that due to the drought escape strategy conferred by derived loss of function mutations at FRI, accessions with these alleles would inhabit environments with …
Karl Hardy, in his excellent essay on the historical-colonial roots of “utopia” and the tentative possibilities of its use in Indigenous politics, cites research that Thomas More’s Utopia may have been the first instance of the Roman word colonia in the English language. Hardy also points out that More’s utopians are colonists themselves, who conquer …
Harvesting activity moves to the coastal plains in the second quarter of April June, as lemons and oranges are harvested in southern California and vegetable crops are thinned and then harvested in the Salinas Valley of northern California. June marks the second highest month of employment on the state’s farms, as workers harvest strawberries and vegetables …

Agricultural producers in California received $586 million in federal assistance in 2001; Of this about $242 million came as production flexibility contracts and loan deficiency payments.The remainder of government payments to farmers came in the form of marketing support and conservation payments, which we discuss later in this chapter. While these federal government support payments …

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 …
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 …
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 …

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 …

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 …
