Functional-structural Plant Modelling in Crop Production

The role acquired by modelling in plant sciences includes integration of knowledge, exploration of the behaviour of the plant system beyond the range of conditions covered experimentally and decision support. The purpose of the model determines its structure. Initially process-based models (PBM) were developed separately from structural (or: architectural or morphological) plant models (SPM). C...

Due to its ubiquitous nature, albumin is found in significant amounts in almost all human, or mammal, tissues. As such it is responsible for the complex phenomena associated to the formation of human bile, both hepatic and colecystic ones. In such tissues the composition and the overall amount of albumin and bile acid salts is dictated by certain rules. Most bile acid salts occurring in the hum...

Functional-structural Plant Models in Crop Production

This volume brings together many contributions and aspects of functional-structural plant modelling. These last pages draw attention to three significant questions that may emerge while reading this book: (i) to what extent do these models address plant functions? (ii) what is the (future) role of these models in plant sciences? and (iii) how can the use of these models be enhanced? These quest...

Gulf Coast are refractory to Zika virus infection. The Zika virus strains and actual stocks used for our experiments were infectious for Ae. aegypti mosquitoes in other experiments (C. Roundy et al., unpub. data), indicating that our negative findings for Cx. quinquefasciatus and Ae. taeniorhynchus mosquitoes represent truly refractory phenotypes. These results, along with findings from an outb...
