The Potted Plant Packing Problem
In this article we describe a practical planning problem, the potted plant packing problem, and our first approaches to solve this problem. The transportation of plants is comparably expensive as they require careful treatment due to there sensitivity. For standardised transport, potted plants are loaded on transport trollies. The cost of transportation depends on the number of these trollies. ...
متن کاملPopulation Genetics of Soilborne Fungal Plant Pathogens The Population Genetics of Phytophthora
There are more than 60 species in the genus Phytophthora (94), and most are destructive plant pathogens. Extensive efforts are directed at the control of Phytophthora diseases each year, yet they still cause serious crop losses. For example, more than $200 million in lost production annually is attributed to Phytophthora diseases in Australia alone (47). Late blight, caused by P. infestans, pro...
متن کاملPathogen Phytosensing: Plants to Report Plant Pathogens
Real-time systems that provide evidence of pathogen contamination in crops can be an important new line of early defense in agricultural centers. Plants possess defense mechanisms to protect against pathogen attack. Inducible plant defense is controlled by signal transduction pathways, inducible promoters and cis-regulatory elements corresponding to key genes involved in defense, and pathogen-s...
متن کاملResearch for Tomorrow Biotechnology and Soilborne Plant
The soil nourishing the crops that provide our food and fiber is a complex environment where microbes live in numbers estimated to reach 2 billion per ounce of soil. Millions upon millions of individual bacteria and fungi Uve on root surfaces and the soil particles that surround them. Bacteria are the smallest and the most abundant. The fungi, usually larger than bacteria, are found throughout ...
متن کاملHost Growth Can Cause Invasive Spread of Crops by Soilborne Pathogens
Invasive soilborne plant pathogens cause substantial damage to crops and natural populations, but our understanding of how to prevent their epidemics or reduce their damage is limited. A key and experimentally-tested concept in the epidemiology of soilborne plant diseases is that of a threshold spacing between hosts below which epidemics (invasive spread) can occur. We extend this paradigm by e...
