Plants are constantly challenged by environmental stresses, including drought and high salinity. Improvement of drought and osmotic stress tolerance without yield decrease has been a great challenge in crop improvement. The Arabidopsis ENHANCED DROUGHT TOLERANCE1/HOMEODOMAIN GLABROUS11 (AtEDT1/HDG11), a protein of the class IV HD-Zip family, has been demonstrated to significantly improve drough...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effect of 3-month kale (Brassica oleracea acephala) juice supplementation on coronary artery disease risk factors among hypercholesterolemic men. METHODS Thirty-two men with hypercholesterolemia (> 200 mg/dL) were recruited after annual health examinations among the faculty and staff at university. The subjects consumed 150 mL of kale juice per day for a 12-week inte...

Of Brassicaceous plants, kale (Brassica oleraceae L. var. acephala DC) contains polyphenols, flavonoids, isoflavones and glucosinolates and so has antioxidant and anticarcinogenic properties. Antioxidants inhibit negative effects of free radicals and may, therefore, protect tissues against oxidative damage. Oxidation of lipoproteins is a key event in the development of atherosclerosis. In the c...

burgeoning southeast Florida population of collared Streptopelia doves was in fact $. decaocto, the Eurasian Collared-Dove (Smith and Kale 1986). Although some observers had independently identified them correctly (e.g. White 1986), these birds had been overlooked for several years by the birding and ornithological communities on the assumption that they were Ringed Turtle-Doves ( S. 'risoria '...

ABSTRACT Kale is a vegetable that has high nutrition content, and balanced fertilization essential to ensure yield quality of agricultural products. Curly kale, less known than regular leaf new possibility for consumption. However, little about the influence type on nutritional characteristics. This study aims evaluate using organic fertilizers productivity, microbiological, physico-chemical ch...

We present an adaptive variant of the exponentiated gradient algorithm. Leveraging the optimistic learning framework of Rakhlin & Sridharan (2012), we obtain regret bounds that in the learning from experts setting depend on the variance and path length of the best expert, improving on results by Hazan & Kale (2008) and Chiang et al. (2012), and resolving an open problem posed by Kale (2012). Ou...

Enormous data are available on trade, breeding and larval rearing, nutritional and growth studies and aquarium keeping of the ornamental invertebrates from other countries. In India, studies on ornamental invertebrates are not available. The studies related with the biodiversity of ornamental invertebrates are not available from global level. This paper reviewed the research work on marine orna...

A greenhouse study was conducted in sand cultures to compare the effects of saline irrigation waters applied by two different methods, flooding and above-canopy sprinkling, on selenium (Se) accumulation by the forage brassicas, kale (Brassica oleracea L., cv. ‘‘Premier’’) and turnip (B. rapa L., cv. ‘‘Forage Star’’). The composition of the irrigation water was designed to simulate saline (7 dS ...
