The first example is taken from the Dogon people of the Mali Republic, known to us through the works of Griaule, Dieterlen and others. They are hea...

Since 1968, three spontaneous 4x melons (Cucumis melo L.) plants were discovered in our field or greenhouse plantings. Two were found in the cultivar Planters Jumbo and one in the virescent marker C879-52. Each of these 4x plants had rounded cotyledons, shorter internodes, thicker stems and leaves, more hairs, and smaller fruits, with larger stem and blossom scars, than their 2x counterparts. A...

Sharpening the differences of race meant easing those of class, ensuring that public schooling did not always receive widespread support. The cult of white superiority absolved the state of responsibility for social mobility. As better schooling was advocated for r...

Precision planters are recently being adopted for seeding canola to improve crop establishment and seed yield. This study determined the effect of using precision (30.5 50.8 cm row width) conventional air drill seeders at different rates (20, 40, 60, 80, 160 seeds m −2 ) on plant density The was conducted 4 yr (2016 2019) three locations in southern Alberta. Plant increased with higher followin...

Root growth potential (RGP) measurement can be time­ consuming and tedious, especially when seedlings have fibrous root systems. A volume-displacement technique involving suspending seedling roots and shoots in a clear plastic tube allows rapid estimation of the volume of plant parts while minimizing gravimetric errors. The technique was tested in three experiments examining (1) the repeat­ abi...
