Apparent photosynthesis of soybean plants as affected by changes in leaf water potential under field conditions

Population genetic analysis of Tomato spotted wilt virus on peanut in North Carolina and Virginia.

Exploring the genetic diversity and evolutionary history of plant viruses is critical to understanding their ecology and epidemiology. In this study, maximum-likelihood and population genetics-based methods were used to investigate the population structure, genetic diversity, and sources of genetic variation in field isolates of Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) from peanut in North Carolina and...

Detection and Identification of Tomato Ring Spot Virus in Ornamental Plants in North Khorasan Province

In recent years, the symptoms of viral diseases such as dwarfism, mosaic, discoloration, necrosis, and circular spots have been prevalent in ornamental plants in parks, gardens, and streets in North Khorasan Province. Tomato ring spot virus (ToRSV) belongs to the Nepovirus genus of Secoviridae family. This virus is a major cause of the infection of ornamental plants in the world. In this study,...

Dissipation of Acetochlor and Residue Analysis in Plants and Soil under Field Conditions

The present study was undertaken to determine the persistence of acetochlor under real field conditions at maize crop. The chloroacetanilide herbicide acetochlor was applied as a pre-emergent spray on maize crop at 3 days after sowing in the experimental field in Didactical Station Ezăreni. The herbicide acetochlor was identified and quantified from soil and maize plants based on accelerated so...

Health Risks and Conditions among American Indians in North Carolina

Objectives: North Carolina has the eighth largest American Indian population in the United States. American Indians have high death rates for a number of specific causes of death. However, North Carolina has lacked comprehensive statewide information about health risks in its American Indian populations. The objective of this study is to examine health risks and conditions among adult North Car...
