It is critical for a germplasm repository to provide reliable information on the germplasm it holds and distributes through on-site evaluation. Characterization based on morphological criteria is often variable across years and locations due to the plasticity and susceptibility of these traits to genotype-environmental interactions. Molecular markers offer a stable and reliable alternative for genetic…

The differences among treatments for berry mass observed post-veraison were non-significant by mid-ripening and remained as such until harvest. TSS, pH and TA were also monitored throughout the growing season in both years. Overhead shade films did not affect TSS in must at any sampling point throughout the 2020 season . TA was only significantly…

Weight loss studies further showed that a decrease in firmicutes and an increase of bacteroides were correlated with percent body weight loss, but not caloric intake. Even though most studies showed a shift toward firmicutes in obese and diabetic individuals, others have shown opposite results: a shift toward bacteroidetes or no difference between these two…

Although currently several agronomic approaches of source-limitation have been set up to delay sugar accumulation in ripening grapes in the field , stomatal manipulation may be a favorable genetic strategy for the future, that deserves to be further explored also under combined environmental stress and in field trials. In our study, we further applied a water…

Strawberries can only be stored for up to 7 days under optimum conditions, and that shelf life also depends on how ripe the fruit was when purchased or picked.Like any other fresh fruit or vegetable, strawberries can be contaminated with bacteria from soil, water, and animal sources. Contamination from human sources may occur during or…

LC50 and LC90 values from these analyses are presented in Table 1. Overall, zeta-cypermethrin exhibited the lowest LC50, followed by spinosad and malathion, respectively. However, when comparing LC90s, spinosad exhibited the lowest value of the three materials tested. These results differ from previous studies which found that, at the adult stage, spinosad lethal concentration values are…

It turns out that this analogy is complete; it is also the case that a two dimensional region of uniform magnetization also experiences the same forces and torques in a magnetic field as an equivalent circulating current. The converse is also true- circulating currents can be modelled as two dimensional regions of uniform magnetization. The…

This market has expanded rapidly in the past 20 years, with estimates of total retail specialty coffee sales—excluding Walmart—continuing to increase in the past decade . The specialty coffee market supports a distinct value chain. By definition, specialty coffees distinguish themselves from bulk coffee on the basis of a variety of factors that include quality ,…

As the system gets closer to the refuge, the combination of a lower bound on the scale population and the rapidity with which it can increase when under protection from the ants combine to frequently produce chaotic oscillations, and the collision between the boundary of the chaos and the basin edge causes the population to…

These processes and their controls on soil structure and nutrient availability reflect the possible indirect effects of soil microorganisms on plant growth, health and fruit development . Vineyard management practices and production systems that alter the soil environment, and thus may contribute to shaping the microbial community, include: cover crop use, tillage, compost application, and…
