The root system under conditions that were close to the optimum temperature showed greater growth rates and thus reached deeper depths and developed greater root length densities than the root system under non-optimum temperature conditions. Finally, an additional soil horizon, consisting of 24% sand, 64% silt, and 12% clay and having the bulk density of…

For experiments with green and brown leaves, isolations were initiated immediately after collection, with most samples processed within 29 days. All isolations were completed by 46 days after collection. Storage period did not alter results when included as a covariate in models for these experiments and was excluded from the final analyses. Isolations from leaves of…

In untreated seedlings, the dlk2-3 and d14-1 mutations alone or together had no effect on cotyledon expansion while the htl- 3 mutation in any combination reduced expansionby 40–70% . Similar to the action of racemic GR24 , 5DS and 5DS inhibited cotyledon expansion of Col-0 and Ler wild types while lines containing d14-1 were insensitive to…

Data collection on the early phases of invasion is generally retrospective and therefore limited. In this study, we highlight three sources of data that may be useful in understanding the processes that operate in the particularly poorly characterized early stages of invasion: introduction, establishment, and lag phases. Understanding these early phases of biological invasions is…

The advantages of a PVC drain and associated storage tank are that potentially pathogenic liquid is contained, can be recycled to maintain optimal pile moisture levels under drier conditions and, if sanitized, the nutrient content of the leachate can be recycled . In contrast, a soil floor costs less, but it is important to consider,…

The Western Shoshone case, based on the 1863 Ruby Valley Treaty, has taken totahy different directions with much broader implications . Thle to approximately 24 million acres in Nevada and California has yet to be conclusively decided. A 1979 Claims Commission award of $26 million, based on 1855 and 1872 land prices, has been made but…

Half of the metabolites detected in root tissue extracts were significantly different in pairwise comparisons of experimental treatments, with 28% having highest abundance in phosphate‐sufficient‐, 30% in phosphate‐deficient‐, and 25% in soil‐ extract‐grown roots . The significantly different metabolites could be grouped into four main clusters . Cluster I consists of three metabolites significantly different between all…

Here we focus on two frequently used technologies that offer potential for the discovery and characterization of ncRNAs in horticultural plants: that is, NGS and ribosome profiling. NGS as a new powerful tool for the prediction of ncRNAs The ncRNAs can be identified through the direct detection of the transcribed RNAs.Initially, direct cloning approach has been…

Aleph Farms, in partnership with the Israel Institute of Technology, have successfully grown meat from cow cells on the ISS. BeeHex, who received a NASA grant, has developed a 3D printer capable of making and baking pizzas and cakes . An established sector of the space industry is satellite technology services, utilized in both communications…

In 1996, Zeneca launched a biotech processing-tomato product that from 1999 to 2000 was the best-selling tomato paste in the United Kingdom. The paste reduced processing costs and resulted in a 20% lower price. However, despite their consumer benefits and initial market acceptance, none of these tomato products were financial successes and none are being sold…
