Transgenic mitigation through linking the transgene to genes that confer a selective disadvantage such as a dwarfing mitigatorgene, or other mechanisms like cleistogamy in rice, total sterility in tubers and bulb-propagated crops, synthetic auxotrophy etc. could contain gene flow.Low-cost technologies for the production of biopharmaceuticals using plant systems should be used in cases of unprecedented…

However, for edible vaccines,fruit crops are preferred since they can be consumed directly without cooking,else heat during cooking may destroy the protein antigen. Many plant species including maize, carrot, tomato, soybean, lettuce, potato, and alfalfa are used now, since they offer better yields with no toxic compounds, making possible oral immunization using raw plant materials.…

The level of significance for the tests was set at 0.05. The study set out to determine the means by which rural fisher folk and farming communities in Uganda gained access to early warning meteorological information.It was noted that 55.33% of the survey respondents were receiving weather information predominantly from the FM radio stations despite…

The yield response to changes in precipitation variability can depend on the qualitative nature of the variability and it is used to understand the impacts of climate changes. The results also suggest that the current atmospheric general circulation models yield inconsistent results concerning changes in mean precipitation at particular locations, and the sign and magnitude…

Whether it is in water or on land, the same nutrients for plant growth are essential. After all, plants rely on specific nutrients to grow, and these nutrients don’t change, no matter which system one is using. In VHF method, manageability of the farm is quite obvious; the area requires no care takers considering the…

Strong connections between the leaf photosynthetic capacity and reflectance spectra have been reported, although their underlying mechanisms remain unclear in most cases. A range of studies have also demonstrated that leaf reflectance spectra can be used to accurately estimate leaf photosynthetic capacity in several different ways, ranging fromsimple linear regression to machine learning techniques ,…

The GIGANTEA early flowering promoting allele was detected only in GR5, GR10, and Frieda cultivar. However, further experimentation on the aforementioned landraces is needed, in order to examine the predictive power of those molecular markers, and their potential implementation in white lupin breeding programs. Alleles that confer resistance to anthracnose, were previously found only in…

Mo primarily improves the nitrogen fixation to the plant and increases its antioxidant potential, which we observed in our study. This also might be the reason for the enhanced antidiabetic potential of Canavalia species assessed by GI, α-amylase inhibition activity, and α-glucosidase inhibition activity. Terpenoids and flavonoids of Canavalia gladiata are reported to play a…

Considering the importance of nematodes and arthropod pests in agriculture, both veterinary and human pharmaceutical industries can potentially benefit from collaborations with agrochemical firms in this space. However, depending on the epidemiological settings, risks of emergence of resistance or reduced efficacy in humans due to the widespread use of a given compound or class in…

The current study accepted empirical evidence of the importance of negative factors in the evaluation of novel foods and developed discrete positive and negative attitudinal constructs from qualitative surveys of consumer behavioral beliefs. This approach proved benefificial to understanding the acceptance of hemp food as the negative attitude items while loading onto a single factor…
