Since the Ayurvedic practice started in India, plants are being used in the cure of diseases. Although the Catharanthus roseus have been used for their alleged health benefits and avail their hypoglycemic e...

BACKGROUND Array Comparative Genomic Hybridization (array CGH) is increasingly applied on DNA obtained from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue, but in a proportion of cases this type of DNA is unsuitable. Due to the high experimental costs of array CGH and unreliable methods for DNA quality testing, better prediction methods are needed. The aim of this study was to accurately determ...

Waste biomass was anaerobically converted to carboxylate salts by using a mixed culture of acid-forming microorganisms. Municipal solid waste (MSW) was the energy source (carbohydrates) and sewage sludge (SS) was the nutrient source (minerals, metals, and vitamins). Four fermentors were arranged in series and solids and liquids were transferred countercurrently in opposite directions, which all...

this research was conducted to assay the effect of different levels of irrigation on morphological and physicochemical characteristics of three cultivars of basil (ocimum basilicum l.), in ferdowsi university of mashhad, 2012. the pot experiment was performedas a factorial based on randomized complete design with four replications. the factors included three commercial cultivars of basil (comin...

The largest fresh meat brand names in Spain are analyzed here to study how quality is signaled in agribusiness and how the underlying quality-assurance organizations work. Results show, first, that organizational form varies according to the specialization of the brand name. Publicly-controlled brand names are grounded on market contracting with individual producers, providing stronger incentiv...

The complete coding sequence for the trichodiene synthase gene from Fusarium sporotrichioides was introduced into tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) under the regulation of the cauliflower mosiac virus 35S promoter. Expression of trichodiene synthase was demonstrated in the leaves of transformed plants. Leaf homogenates incubated with [(3)H]farnesyl pyrophosphate produced trichodiene as a major produc...

The fresh agricultural product (FAP) has highly perishable, hard to storage, and huge cost during the picking, transportation stage. In this paper, we aim develop a multi-objective optimization model minimize total of collecting FAP, where from acquisition points aside planting areas collection center, transferring them processing factories (demand points) as well freshness decay these processe...
