1. scylloInositol has been identified as a component of locust haemolymph, where it occurs in concentrations of 0.2-0.4mg./ml. 2. A simple method for the identification of scylloinositol is described. This has been used to demonstrate the presence of scylloinositol in five other insect species. 3. Locust phospholipids contain myoinositol but no scylloinositol. 4. Radioactivity from [(14)C]gluco...

Continuous queries are persistent queries that allow users to receive new results when they become available. While continuous query systems can transform a passive web into an active environment, they need to be able to support millions of queries due to the scale of the I nternet. No existing systems have achieved this level of scalability. NiagaraCQ addresses this problem by grouping continu...

The relationship between abundance of Dolichoderus thoracicus (Smith) and damage to cocoa pods caused by Conopomorpha cramerella Snellen was examined in a series of experiments. Pods were harvested from ant-abundant and ant-scarce plots and categorized into fully extractable, partially extractable and unextractable, the last category reflecting the most severe degree of C. cramerella infestatio...

Ten yearling steers weighing 270-360 kg died acutely after eating early seed pod stage Lupinus argenteus (silvery lupine) containing high levels of piperidine alkaloids, including ammodendrine and N-methylammodendrine. Reduced availability of Quality feed from range moderately depleted of Quality grasses appeared a major factor in causing the cattle to graze lupine. Proximate analysis of whole ...

A temporary vegetative storage protein, composed of similar 25 kilodalton and 27 kilodalton subunits, was found to be abundant in soybean (Glycine max (L.) Herr. var Hobbit) leaves, stems, pods, flower petals, germinated cotyledons, and less abundant in roots, nodules and seeds. Total pod protein was highest at 3 weeks after flowering and declined by 37% within 3 weeks during seed development. ...

Desert Locusts, Schistocerca gregaria (Forskal), are the most dangerous of locust species. Under favorable environmental conditions, a few solitary individuals can dramatically multiply, form large swarms able to migrate great distances, and threaten agriculture over a large part of Africa, the Middle East and Southwest Asia. There have been six plagues of Desert Locusts this century, one of wh...
