Common mycorrhizal network (CMN) allows nutrients and signals to pass between two or more plants. In this study, trifoliate orange (Poncirus trifoliata) and white clover (Trifolium repens) were planted in a two-compartmented rootbox, separated by a 37-μm nylon mesh and then inoculated with an arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus (AMF), Diversispora spurca. Inoculation with D. spurca resulted in format...

Electrical heating of food products provides rapid and uniform heating, resulting in less thermal damage to the product. The objective of this research was to examine the effects of ohmic heating on the stability of orange juice with comparison to conventional pasteurization. During storage at 4 degrees C, degradation curves of ascorbic acid followed a linear decrease pattern in both ohmic-heat...

Life history trade-offs are often hierarchical with decisions at one level affecting lower level trade-offs. We investigated trade-off structure in female side-blotched lizards (Uta stansburiana), which exhibit two evolved strategies: yellow-throated females are K-strategists and orange-throated are r-strategists. Corticosterone treatment was predicted to differentially organize these females' ...

introduction: citrus fruits, which belong to the family of rutaceae are one of the main fruit tree crops grown throughout the world. although sweet orange (citrus sinensis) is the major fruit in this group accounting for about 70% of citrus output.citrus fruits are well – appreciated fortheir refreshing juice and health benefits.the health benefits of citrus fruits are linked to the high amount...

The eruption of the orange glass magma to form the deposits sampled at the Apollo 17 site is considered to have been a gas-rich, fire-fountain eruption. The deposit consists entirely of small 1-2 mm spherical beads of the orange glass created during fragmentation of the magma. The data on the gas phase components in the pre-eruption A17 orange glass magma are constrained by C-O-S system phase e...

This study has investigated how average effective leaf area index (LAIe) derived from full-waveform and discrete LiDAR data changes depending on the size of the grid used, over a 150 m by 80 m area of orange orchard. The full-waveform data, acquired with RIEGL LMS-Q560, were decomposed and optimized with a trust-region-reflective algorithm using a custom decomposition procedure focused on extra...

The trilobite larvae of C. rotundicauda were tested to determine their colour preference and light sensitivity until their first moulting (25 days post hatching) under laboratory conditions. Maximum congregation size of the trilobite larvae was found in the white zone respectively where (n = 12) followed by yellow (n = 8) and orange (n = 8), which showed the larval preference for lighter zones....
