Agria mihalyii (Rohdendorf and Verves, 1978) is recorded from China for the first time, and both sexes are thoroughly documented using a combination of illustrations, photographs and scanning electron microscopy images. The generic affiliation is corroborated from an expanded definition of genus Agria Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830, and a key to males of the two known species from China is provided. T...

Nutritional indices of Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) on different host plants including chickpea (cultivars Arman, Hashem, Azad, and Binivich), common bean (cultivar Khomein), white kidney bean (cultivar Dehghan), red kidney bean (cultivar Goli), cowpea (cultivar Mashhad), tomato (cultivar Meshkin) and potato (cultivars Agria and Satina) were studied under laboratory co...

Characterization of three cactus proteins (native and denatured) from Machaerocereus gummosus (Pitahaya agria), Lophocereu schottii (Garambullo), and Cholla opuntia (Cholla), was based on electrophoretic, fluorescence, CD (circular dichroism), DSC (differential scanning calorimetry), and FT-IR (Fourier transform infrared) measurements. The obtained results of intrinsic fluorescence, DSC, and CD...

Masa Agria is a naturally fermented maize dough produced in Colombia, very common in the traditional gastronomy. In this study we used culture-dependent and RNA-based pyrosequencing to investigate the bacterial community structure of Masa Agria samples produced in the south west of Colombia. The mean value of cell density was 7.6 log CFU/g of presumptive lactic acid bacteria, 5.4 log cfu/g for ...

The study presents results of a three-year experiment variability different potato varieties in Montenegro: early maturity (Riviera), medium (Almera, Aladin and Bounty) late (Agria, Margarita, Kennebec Desiree). research was conducted during 2015, 2016 2017, acid, brown soil three climatic locations: Nedakusi (556 m a.s.l.), Sutivan (680 a.s.l.) Orahovica (900 a.s.l.). Field experiments were se...

Divergent selection between environments can result in changes to the behavior of an organism. In many insects, volatile compounds are a primary means by which host plants are recognized and shifts in plant availability can result in changes to host preference. Both the plant substrate and microorganisms can influence this behavior, and host plant choice can have an impact on the performance of...

Genotype-environment interaction (GEI) is very important for breeders. It considered a complicated issue in breeding programs to obtain stable and high-yielding genotypes release new genotypes. This study was conducted achieve genotype that adaptive climatic conditions of potato-producing regions Iran. A total 20 potato lines along with five commercial varieties (Savalan, Agria, Caesar, Luta Sa...
