Confronting Tracker Field Quintessence with Data [PDF]
We confront tracker field quintessence with observational data. The potentials considered in this paper include $V(\phi)\propto\phi^{-\alpha}$, $\exp(M_{p}/\phi)$, $\exp(M_{p}/\phi)-1$, $\exp(\beta M_{p}/\phi)$ and $\exp(\gamma M_{p}/\phi)-1$; while the data come from the latest SN Ia, CMB and BAO observations.

The combination of a microbial and a non‐microbial biostimulant increased yield of lettuce under salt stress. Application of the non‐microbial biostimulant triggered an abscisic acid‐dependent response and, when applied with the microbial biostimulant, potentiated the responses triggered by the microbial biostimulant and elicited a cytokinin‐dependent ...

Update of the Xylella spp. host plant database
Abstract Following a request from the European Commission, EFSA periodically updates the database on the host plants of Xylella spp. While previous editions of the database (2015 and 2016) dealt with the species Xylella fastidiosa only, this database version addresses the whole genus Xylella, including therefore both species X.
