hormonally active agents are widespread in the environment and exist in the human diet. there isinsufficient knowledge regarding the influence of phytochemicals on the pathophysiology of the malereproductive system. kiwi is a rich source of phytochemicals such as flavones (with estrogenic activity),serotonin and vitamin c. these components can influence the hormones and interfere with reproduct...

The antagonism between NO3 and Cl uptake was demonstrated in avocado (Wiesman, 1995; Bar et al, 1997), barley (Smith, 1973; Glass and Siddiqi, 1985), broccoli (Liu and Shelp, 1996), citrus (Chapman and Liebig, 1940; Banuls et al , 1990, 1997; Bar et al , 1997; Cerezo et al , 1997), corn (Imas, 1991), kiwifruit (Smith et al , 1987), melon and lettuce (Feigin, 1985; Wei et al , 1989), groundnut (...

We present an algorithmic framework to accurately and efficiently identify the semantic meanings and contexts of social tags within a particular folksonomy. The framework is used for building contextualised tag-based user and item profiles. We also present its implementation in a system called cTag, with which we preliminary analyse semantic meanings and contexts of tags belonging to Delicious ...

We present the first complete genome sequence of a copper-resistant biovar 5 strain of a bacterial pathogen of kiwifruit, Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae. Comparison with the genome sequence of a copper-sensitive biovar 5 isolate indicates that copper resistance is encoded on a plasmid.
