Background: There is increasing evidence that the reliance on synthetic chemical pesticides and mineral fertilizers in agriculture has significant negative environmental and/or health impacts poses a risk for future food security. Systematic reviews/meta-analyses showed organic production systems, which omit use of agrochemicals, produce crops with lower yields, but superior nutritional composi...

The 35S promoter, derived from the common plant virus, cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV), is a component of transgenic constructs in more than 80% of genetically modified (GM) plants. Alarming reports have suggested that the 35S promoter might cause accidental activation of plant genes or endogenous viruses, promote horizontal gene transfer, or might even recombine with mammalian viruses such as ...

quences. The map also gave a very precise estimate of possible especially in problem areas that could be tackled early in the project. The efficacy of this approach is shown in Figure 1. The use of BAC fingerprinting at a genome-wide scale was hence first demonstrated with The sequence of the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana the Arabidopsis project and created the paradigm by was published last...

Use of Indian mustard (Brassica juncea (L.) Czern.) as a trap crop for management of diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella (L.), and leafwebber, Crocidolomia binotalis Zeller, was tried on an experimental farm and farmers’ fields. Preliminary studies indicated that planting of 15 cabbage rows followed by paired mustard rows to manage both pests was useful. The first mustard row is sown 15 days ...

Food is the exilir of life. But there are many who during pandemic time and after struggled for a single meal per day. To get clear picture food crisis which occurred corona season 2021 in its aftermath study was conducted five villages Belurtaluk. Belur twin place Halebeedu heritage sites boasting Karnataka ‘s cultural history. The sampled Narayanapura, Hulikere, Lingapura,Tholalu Vaginakere. ...

cabbage (brassica oleracea var. capitata) is an economically important and widely cultivated vegetable in urmia region, west azerbaijan, iran. during the surveys of cabbage diseases in the years 2009-2012, mature plants of both white cabbage (b. o. var. capitata f. alba) and red cabbage (b. o. var. capitata f. rubra) with yellowing and detaching of lower leaves, watersoaking, browning and softe...

"This research was carried out because several observations suddenly interrelated. Our group had isolated the 'dormancy hormone' from sycamore and found that it was intensely optically active. It was identical with Abscisin II (now called abscisic acid —ABA) isolated from cotton by F.T. Addicott's group and we had just synthesised their proposed structure. The optical rotatory dispersion (ORD) ...

Ammonium ( NH4+ ) toxicity hinders the cabbage yield because most subspecies or varieties exhibit extreme sensitivity to id="M2">NH</mml:mte...

We review the pNGB quintessence models, and point out that the reason why the large decay constants fa > ∼ O(1)MP l are really needed is to tame a tachyonic instability present for a wide range of initial vevs. Starting very close to potential maxima does not help because quantum fluctuations during early inflation at a scale HI perturb the quintessence vev, displacing it from the maxima. This ...

Experiments examining root growth, the utilization of N and the effect of green manures were carried out on four vegetable crops. Large differences were observed both in rooting depth penetration rates, and in final rooting depth and distribution. Onion had a very low depth penetration rate, carrot an intermediate rate, and lettuce and cabbage showed high rates. A combination of depth penetrati...
