Greenhouse-grown Transplants as an Alternative to Bare-root Transplants for Onion

Closed soilless growing system for producing strawberry bare root transplants and runner tips

The objective of this work was to test a closed soilless growing system for producing bare root transplants and runner tips of two strawberry clones, using two categories of substrates. The system used corrugated roofing panels of fiber‐cement, over which a substrate layer was used as a growing bed. The nutrient solution was pumped from a reservoir toward the upper end of the roofing panels and...

Mycorrhizal Inoculation of Tomato and Onion Transplants Improves Earliness

Field experiments were conducted near Weslaco, Texas (Lat. 26° 8' N) between 1999 and 2001 to evaluate the field performance of preand post-mycorrhizal inoculations of tomato and onion (2001 only) transplants. In 1999 ‘Heatmaster’ tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) transplants were inoculated with Glomes intraradices (Reforestation Technologies, Salinas, CA) at transplanting; in 2000 ‘Heatm...

Belatacept As an Alternative to Calcineurin Inhibitors in Patients with Solid Organ Transplants

The goal of immunosuppression in transplantation has shifted to improving long-term outcomes, reducing drug-induced toxicities while preserving the already excellent short-term outcomes. Long-term gains in solid organ transplantation have been limited at least partly due to the nephrotoxicity and metabolic side effects of calcineurin inhibitors (CNIs). The alloimmune response requires activatio...
