introduction multiple cropping such as intercropping plays an important role in agriculture because of maximizing beneficial interactions. intercropping of legumes and cereals is an old practice in tropical agriculture that dates back to ancient civilization. maize-legume intercrops could substantially increase forage quantity and quality and decrease requirement for protein supplements (ahmad ...

Background: The importance of peanut allergy has not been well recognized in Japanese society. IgE antibody to peanut can be, however, detected in patients without clinical peanut allergy. Methods: Clinical characteristics of 14 patients (aged 1―8 years) with peanut allergy were evaluated. IgE antibodies to peanut from patients with and without clinical peanut allergy were compared with those t...

BACKGROUND Most of the peanut-sensitized children do not have clinical peanut allergy. In equivocal cases, oral food challenges (OFCs) are required. However, OFCs are laborious and not without risk; thus, a test that could accurately diagnose peanut allergy and reduce the need for OFCs is desirable. OBJECTIVE To assess the performance of basophil activation test (BAT) as a diagnostic marker f...

BACKGROUND Ara h2 sIgE serum levels improve the diagnostic accuracy for predicting peanut allergy, but the use of Ara h2 purified protein as a skin prick test (SPT), has not been substantially evaluated. The fraction of exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) shows promise as a novel biomarker of peanut allergy. Reproducibility of these measures has not been determined. The aim was to assess the accuracy a...

Wheat, cotton, and peanut were arranged in three cropping sequences to determine the effects of fenamiphos (6.7 kg a.i./ha) and cropping sequence on nematode population densities and crop yields under conservation tillage and irrigation for 6 years. The cropping sequences included a wheat winter cover crop each year and summer crops of cotton every year, peanut every year, or cotton rotated eve...

Genotype × environment (G×E) interaction complicates the identification of superior genotypes. An understanding its causes is needed for a more effective breeding strategy. The objective of this study was to determine the plant traits that cause genotype × location (G×L) interaction for pod yield in peanut using a modeling approach. The CSM-CROPGRO-Peanut model was used to simulate pod yiel...

BACKGROUND The management of peanut allergy relies on allergen avoidance and epinephrine autoinjector for rescue treatment in patients at risk of anaphylaxis. Biomarkers of severity and threshold of allergic reactions to peanut could significantly improve the care for patients with peanut allergy. OBJECTIVE We sought to assess the utility of the basophil activation test (BAT) to predict the s...

: The objective of this study was to determine the risk of peanut allergy in siblings of peanut-allergic children. In 2005-2006, 560 households of children born in 1995 in the province of Manitoba, Canada, were surveyed. The index children (8-to 10-year-olds) were assessed by a pediatric allergist and had skin-prick testing and/or capRAST for peanut allergy. Surveys were completed by parents fo...

background: the pregnancy rate during in-vitro fertilization (ivf) following progesterone supplement still remains very low at around 20%. objective: to investigate the effects of peanut oil itself on the endometrial receptivity, the pregnancy success rate and fertility during the peri-implantation time in hyper stimulated and normal rats. materials and methods: thirty-six adult sprague dawley ...

Iron deficiency chlorosis (IDC) under calcareous and alkaline soils is a significant abiotic stress affecting the growth yield of peanut. In this study, genomic regions governing IDC tolerance were mapped using recombinant inbred line (RIL) population derived from TMV 2 (susceptible to IDC) 2-NLM (tolerant IDC), which was phenotyped during rainy seasons 2019 2020 in iron-deficient plots. The be...
