in order to study the effects of different irrigation system and different amounts of nitrogen fertilizer on yield and quality of sugar beet, an experiment was conducted at ekbatan research station, hamedan during 2005-2006 as split plot based on randomized complete block design  with three replications. the main plots were irrigation systems (furrow, sprinkler and drip irrigation) and subplots...

Over the last decade, major advances have been made in our understanding of how plants sense, signal, and respond to soil phosphorus (P) availability (Amtmann et al., 2006; White and Hammond, 2008; Nilsson et al., 2010; Yang and Finnegan, 2010; Vance, 2010; George et al., 2011). Previously, we have reviewed the potential for shoot-derived carbohydrate signals to initiate acclimatory responses i...

The new table grape cultivar BRS Tainá produces white firm seedless grapes, agreeable flavor, balanced sugar-acid ratio, good berry adherence to the pedicel and yield of 50 ton ha-1 year-1. It is recommended for tropical conditions Submédio do Vale São Francisco. Propagative material acquired from nurseries licensed by Embrapa.

Sugar beet fertilization is a very complex agrotechnical measure for farmers. The main reason that technological quality equally important as sugar yield, but the increment of root yield does not follow quality. Technological implies concentration sucrose in and possibility its extraction production white table sugar. great variability agroecological factors directly affect are possible good ag...

Carrot (Daucus carota), one of the most economically important root vegetables, shows a wide range morphological and biochemical diversity. However, there is lack simultaneous systematic study regarding composition characteristics in carrot genetic resources, which crucial for crop improvement. For this reason, characteristics, carotenoids, free sugar content 180 resources grown open field cond...

INTRODUCTION Obesity is common among reproductive age women and disproportionately impacts racial/ethnic minorities. Our objective was to assess racial/ethnic differences in obesity-related dietary behaviors among pregnant and postpartum women, to inform peripartum weight management interventions that target diverse populations. METHODS We conducted a cross-sectional survey of 212 Black (44%)...

A ham and cheese sandwich every day. Fried chicken and pork rinds. White rice, white bread, and few leafy greens. Soft drinks with every meal. When interviewers asked a nationwide sample of Cubans what they ate on a typical day, and what they would put on a daily menu if they could choose whatever they wanted, these were among the top responses. Results of that landmark study revealed that a ma...

Recent advances in software development and machine learning algorithms are revolutionizing the way microstructures analyzed quantified fields like biology neuroscience. With this, comes an upsurge opportunities to apply these tools study food microstructure gain a deeper understanding of structure-function relationships. This article shows how recently developed deep-learning cellular segmenta...

The paradox of secondary metabolites, toxic defence compounds produced by plants, in nectar and fruits is well known. Deterrence of feeding by nectarivorous and frugivorous birds is better understood than the effect of these chemicals on the digestive performance of birds. Digestive parameters such as transit time and sugar assimilation are important in assessing nutrient utilization and deterr...
