Saltwater aquaponics is a sustainable alternative system for food production. The success of this largely depends on the selection both fish and plant species, which several features criteria must be considered. This paper aims to identify most suitable species saltwater by using multi-criteria decision-making method also based current literature. One simple model that contained one root criter...

Globodera millefolii and G. artemisiae are interesting because their type localities (Estonia and Russia, respectively) are geographically distant from those of the potato cyst nematodes and other Globodera species that seem to have originated in the Western world, and because the type host for each is a member of Compositae rather than Solanaceae. Sequence data for ITS1, ITS2, and 5.8S ribosom...

According to recent molecular analyses of Salicornia, we revised the annual glassworts from the Croatian coast, classified until now only as Salicornia europaea. Two species, a diploid Salicornia patula and a tetraploid S. emerici were recognized. They can be easily distinguished by floral characters, but not only by their habitus, which varies extremely according to environmental factors. Both...

Selenium contamination of soil in the San Joaquin Valley, California poses a threat to wildlife and to agricultural productivity. Traditional phytoremediation methods use the process of phytoextraction to remove selenium from soil by sequestering selenium in plant tissues, potentially allowing the re-release of selenium to the soil if the plants are not harvested after senescence. The volatiliz...
