The cabbage maggot, Delia radicum (L.) is an important insect pest of eruciferous crops in upstate New York. This species causes considerable damage to seedlings and young plants by feeding on roots and stems, resulting in plant stand loss and yield loss. Five crucifer accessions (Brassica oleracea variety italica L.,'Green Comet'; B. oleracea L.,'Rapid Cycling' [Crucifer Genetics Cooperative 3...

The carbohydrate composition (glucose, xylose, mannose, galactose, and arabinose) of lignocellulosic biomass Liriodendron tulipifera, Populus nigra × maximowiczii, alba glandulosa, euramericana, Salix alba, Quercus variabilis, Robinia pseudoacacia, Zelkova serrata, Abies holophylla, Pinus rigida, rice straw, peanut hull was investigated based on high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) gas...

Recent advances in population genomics have triggered great interest in the genomic landscape of divergence in taxa with 'porous' species boundaries. One important obstable of previous studies of this topic was the low genomic coverage achieved. This issue can now be overcome by the use of 'next generation' or short-read DNA-sequencing approaches capable of assaying many thousands of single nuc...

Heat release rate (HRR) is the principal fire characteristic of materials. There are three known methods for measurement HRR (based on oxygen consumption, mass loss rate, and combustion products temperature rise). The method based consumption considered to be reference. However, this expensive a large part laboratories universities unavailable. simplest products’ rise. has fundamental problem w...

Ethyl acetate soluble fraction of ethanolic extract of Eclipta alba and Lippia nodiflora was evaluated for its potential on hair growth by in vivo method. In vivo, 5 % and 10 % extract of E. alba and L. nodiflora alone and also in combination of 5 % of E. alba and 5 % of L. nodiflora in gel formulation was applied topically over the shaved skin of black mice and monitored and assessed for 30 da...

Seed germination is considered a critical phase in plant development and relatively sensitive to heavy metals. White poplar (Populus alba) trees tend to accumulate Cd and Zn in their tissues. We tested if soil contamination can affect P. alba progeny, reduced seed germination and explored the distribution of mineral elements in the seed. For this purpose, fruits and seeds from female P. alba tr...
