Brassinosteroids are a new group of plant hormones with significant growth-promoting activity. Brassinosteroids were first isolated and characterized from the pollen of rape plant, Brassica napus L. Subsequently, they have so far been reported from 44 plants and are regarded probably ubiquitous in the plant kingdom. Brassinosteroids are considered as hormones with pleiotropic effects, as they i...

To determine the optimal ploughing depth and to make tillage simpler and less costly, but also taking account of edaphic and climatic conditions as well as biological and agrotechnical requirements of crops grown, long-term investigations (1994-2009) have been carried out on Stagnic Luvisol of sloping terrains in central Croatia near Daruvar. Th e paper presents the results relating to plant de...

Herbicide tolerant (HT) crops are not a new phenomenon – in fact, all crops are to some extent tolerant to herbicides. Many herbicides are dose-specific for particular plant groups, for example grasses, and these can be used on broad-leaved crops like potatoes and oilseed rape without causing unacceptable harm. This is the basis for most current agricultural practice in developed countries. Gen...

One hundred and eighty-two psychology undergraduates were asked to emit four judgements about each rape situation: victim responsibility, perpetrator responsibility, intensity of trauma, and likelihood to report the ...

The surveys were designed to assess police officers‟ acceptance of rape myths. It was hypothesized that police officers would be accepting of rape myths, which are inherently misogynistic. Attitudes t...

This to limit the chemicals used agriculture thus protect environment consumer health. aim this study was evaluate hitherto unexplored effect hydrolysates obtained after chicken feather by soil strain keratinolytic fungus Trichop...

The subject of rape is pervasive throughout Ovid's Metamorphoses. The myths themselves are by no means originals of the poet; however, his treatment of these stories is remarkably divergent from his predecessors' in that he provides a uniquely female perspective by outlining both the victim's suffering and the barbaric nature of the perpetrator. In Ovid's representations of these rape myths, ra...
