The effects of two entomopathogenic fungal endophytes, Beauveria bassiana and Purpureocillium lilacinum (formerly Paecilomyces lilacinus), were assessed on the reproduction of cotton aphid, Aphis gossypii Glover (Homoptera:Aphididae), through in planta feeding trials. In replicate greenhouse and field trials, cotton plants (Gossypium hirsutum) were inoculated as seed treatments with two concent...

As already demonstrated in greenhouse trials, outcrossing of transgenic plants can be drastically reduced via transgene integration into the plastid. We verified this result in the field with Petunia, for which the highest paternal leakage has been observed. The variety white 115 (W115) served as recipient and Pink Wave (PW) and the transplastomic variant PW T16, encoding the uidA reporter gene...

Shoot glucosinolate profiles of Brassicaceae are known to vary within species, across environmental conditions, and between developmental stages. Here we study whether root profiles follow the intra-specific, environmental, and developmental variation observed for aerial parts in white cabbage cultivars. We also assess whether greenhouse studies can be used to predict shoot and root glucosinola...

Host plant resistance is an important component to the management of potato late blight, Phytophthora infestans (Mont.) de Bary. Assessment of potato lines (Solarium tuberosum L.) with various levels of resistance to P. infestans (US8, A2 genotype) were evaluated in field trials, greenhouse controlled environment chambers and inoculated tuber reactions. Five lines (AWN86514-2, B0692-4, B0718-3,...

A total of 33 corn hybrids were evaluated in a series of greenhouse and field trials to determine if they differed in resistance to either Meloidogyne incognita race 3 or M. arenaria race 1. Reproduction of M. incognita race 3 and M. arenaria race 1 on the hybrids was also compared. Reproduction of M. arenaria differed among corn hybrids after 58 to 65 days in greenhouse experiments; however, r...

This paper considers the inter-professional rivalries that took place as Australian federal government attempted to register a pool of greenhouse and energy auditors establish multidisciplinary team structure for emissions-related reporting trading schemes from 2007-2019. Drawing on notions trials (Callon, 1986; Latour, 1987) criticism in (Bourguignon & Chiapello, 2005), we show how government’...

BACKGROUND Parthenocarpy, or fruit development in the absence of fertilization, has been genetically engineered in eggplant and in other horticultural species by using the DefH9-iaaM gene. The iaaM gene codes for tryptophan monoxygenase and confers auxin synthesis, while the DefH9 controlling regions drive expression of the gene specifically in the ovules and placenta. A previous greenhouse tri...

in the present survey 194 gram positive bacteria isolated from the rhizosphere of bean from markazi province and also 41 isolates from the collection of research center of biological control at tehran universitiy were evaluated on the basis of inhibitionry zone of fungal growth. finally eight more appropriate strains of b. subtilis were selected for greenhouse trials. results indicated that ant...

114 listener judges evaluated speech samples containing the fundamental frequency contour only of patients recorded during depression and after recovery. In 80% of the ratings the listeners could determine whether or not the recording emanated from the depressive pkaase. A group of conservatory students contained a significantly larger percentage of proficient raters than a group of law student...

nterest in organic fertilizers is growing in the greenhouse industry, but experience and trials are not keeping up. There is little information available on how well the new types of fertilizers provide nutrition for plants compared to traditional water-soluble chemical fertilizers. The most widely available “organic” fertilizers for application like traditional water-soluble fertilizers are fi...
