The Lightener study tackled the effect of humic acid and cadmium concentrations on the pumpkin seed germination characteristics throughout were studied.Treatments were cadmium concentrations on three levels: 0, 100 and 200 ppm and humic acid concentration of 0, 100, 200, 300 and 400 mg lit-1.Results showed that interaction of humic acid and cadmium
Pellicin ([2E]-3-phenyl-1-[2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1,6-benzodioxocin-8-yl]prop-2-en-1-one) was identified in a chemical genetics screen of 10,000 small molecules for its ability to completely abolish pellicle production in Gluconacetobacter xylinus.Cells grown in the presence of pellicin grew 1.5 times faster than untreated cells.Interestingly, growth i
Ensuring the development of agriculture as an important branch Papar of the national economy and a resource that ensures national food security is traditionally in the interests of researchers.The study of the development of human capital in agriculture on the basis of a system of comprehensive insurance protection can be a relatively new vector of
This study aimed to establish the fate of copper (Cu) and cobalt (Co) in sandy loam and clay loam soils that had been irrigated with increasing concentrations of contaminated water.A sequential extraction procedure was used to determine the fractions of Cu and Co in these soils.The concentration of bioavailable Cu and Co on clay loam was 1.7 times
Several plant viruses modulate vector fitness and behavior in ways that may enhance virus transmission.Previous studies have documented indirect, plant-mediated effects of tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) infection on the fecundity, growth and survival of its principal thrips vector, Frankliniella occidentalis, the western flower thrips.We conducte
