Soil pollution by petroleum hydrocarbons (PHCs) reduces yield by changing the physico-chemical properties of soil and plants due to PHCs’ biotoxicity and persistence. Thus, removing PHCs from the soil is crucial for ecological sustainability. Microbes-a
Like biotic stressors, potato is also more vulnerable to abiotic stressors than other plants. It is anticipated that, by the year 2050, the anticipated reduction in overall potato yield may potentially reach as high as 32% as a consequence of the influence of abiotic stress factors (Demirel202...
For haplotype validation, a biparental population derived from the susceptible accession PI 594774 (used as female) and the resistant accession PI 587880A (used as male) was developed. F1plants from the crosses were self-pollinated, producing F2seeds used for ASR phenotyping and SNP genotyping. A...
Secondly, three participants noted that plants or remedies already used should be discarded in specific places and not in the regular trash can. These places include homegardens (Fa’a’apu), flowerpots, and any locations where the plant can return to the earth. Thirdly, food restrictions were...
The two clonally reproducing populations were reared in parallel on these plants for one year and their transcriptomes sequenced. Comparison of these transcriptomes identified 171 differentially expressed (DE) genes putatively involved in host adjustment (DEseq, > 1.5-fold change, 10% false discovery ...
As summer ends, transplant herbs from the garden to pots and move them indoors. Select plants, including immature annuals or tender perennials, and dig carefully around their roots to avoid damaging them. Annuals, such as this basil, will continue growing into winter. Return perennials to the...
I dropped him off at the Oakland airport later that morning then called my parents in Florida to tell them we were okay, annoyed that they hadn’t yet called to ask. Despite my father’s penchant for watching Fox News, he seemed completely oblivious to the severity of the situation. ...
I also really wanted to have a few plants, if for nothing else than to block the large pipes next to our site, so before I left I found some pots on clearance and was excited about filling them up when I came back. For those of you who know Lee what happened next will come as ...
Epilithic sister genera Oresitrophe and Mukdenia (Saxifragaceae) have an epilithic habitat (rocky slopes) and a parapatric distribution in East Asia, which makes them an ideal model for a more comprehensive understanding of the demographic and divergence
I stop typing for a moment and arc my arms in the air, a quick sun-salutation. The movement takes me back to a time I can barely remember, when I could squeeze in one yoga class per week between days of weight lifting and four-mile runs. That person I used to be glimmers like ...
