Cauliflower (Brassica oleracea var. botrytis) is an important vegetable in India, where it mostly grown the states of Bihar, Gujarat, Haryana, Madhya Pradesh and West Bengal. India world's second largest producer cauliflower with over 8.84 million tonnes produced annually (Food Agriculture Organization, 2020). In August 2019, sunken, dark brown stem lesions, covered acervuli, were observed on s...

Oat (Avena sativa) is an important annual grain and forage crop which plays role in animal husbandry, agricultural restructuring ecological construction China (Chen et al., 2022). In July 2020, leaf spots were observed on oat during stem elongation near the town of Ertai, Zhangbei county, Hebei province, China. The disease severity was estimated at around 25% over area c. 1-1.5 ha. At onset, sy...

The repeated cultivation of asparagus in the same field can severely reduce yield. A complex predominantly microbial causes is suspected. Limited plant development, establishment problems, and yield loss may occur, particularly light sandy soils. In order to address this replant problem evaluate alternative conditions, two fields were treated with different supplements cultivated for 5 years in...

The major restriction of sago palm plantation is the long maturation period for starch extraction. As such, alternative commodity has to be identified increase commercial value especially from by-product. Sago frond been harvested have numerous advantages as an substrate production biomaterial and biofuel such lactic acid bioethanol. This study focuses on effective approach maximise concentrati...

In Australia, sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas L.) is vulnerable to root feeding insect pests such as wireworms (e.g., Agrypnus spp.). The number of registered insecticides control these limited and often pest pressure, for example by wireworms, severe close harvest, further limiting what can be applied. Incorporating biological agents entomopathogenic fungi Metarhizium anisopliae) into integrated ...

Question Climate change has been shown to cause shifts in plant–soil feedbacks (PSFs) that may affect plant community dynamics, but the effect of prolonged drought is uncertain. We asked whether legacies PSFs due changes biotic interactions. Location Richmond, New South Wales, Australia. Methods collected soils from a five-year field-based rainfall manipulation experiment simulating ambient and...

Sádecká J. (2010): Influence of two sterilisation ways, gamma-irradiation and heat treatment, on the volatiles of black pepper (Piper nigrum L.). Czech J. Food Sci., 28: 44–52. The objective of this study was to investigate and compare the effects of ionising irradiation with different doses of gamma-rays (5 kGy, 10 kGy, and 30 kGy) versus the effect of heat sterilisation (dry steam, 130°C, 3 m...

We report a retrospective study over the period 1981-1992 of the reproductive histories of 27 women, from 21 families, who were known or possible fragile X carriers. Eighteen women had cytogenetic and DNA linkage studies to establish their carrier risk. They subsequently received definitive carrier status information following the cloning of the gene in 1991. The remaining nine women had cytoge...

in which simple examination of the cerebrospinal fluid, without the assistance of a laboratory or expensive apparatus, when combined with the clinical findings, can prove of the greatest value in diagnosis. It is well established that unadulterated cerebrospinal fluid is perfectly transparent, even when viewed by the strongest illumination, and although in certain cases there may be no opacity,...
