Assuring Potato Tuber Quality during Storage: A Future Perspective
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017 Potatoes represent an important staple food crop across the planet. Yet, to maintain tuber quality and extend availability, there is a necessity to store tubers for long periods often using industrial-scale facilities.

Effects of vapours of chlorpropham and ethofumesate on wild plant species
Environmental Pollution, 2001 Effects of vapours of two herbicides on plantlets of fourteen wild higher plant species and two bryophytes were screened in fumigation experiments using foliar injury, chlorophyll fluorescence and growth as response parameters. After vaporisation of the herbicides for 48 h, concentrations in the chambers reached 77 micrograms m-3 in the chlorpropham ...

(Poly)Borylated Species as Modern Reactive Groups toward Unusual Synthetic Applications
Angewandte Chemie International Edition, Volume 65, Issue 10, 2 March 2026.In this review, we spotlight recent breakthroughs in α‐polyboron‐substituted carbon‐centered intermediates (carbanion, carbocation, radical, and carbene) and polyborylated alkenes. By bridging fundamental reactivity with the application potential of these extraordinary species, we hope this review will serve as a roadmap for harnessing these unique ...

Asymmetric somatic plant hybridization : status and applications [PDF]
, 2013 To create asymmetric somatic hybrids, the genome of the so-called donor protoplast is fragmented prior to protoplast fusion. As a result, only a limited amount of the donor genome is transferred to the fusion product.

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.Abstract Upon harvest, potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) tubers enter a dormant state and do not sprout even under favorable conditions. Early dormancy break causes tuber spoilage and reduces postharvest quality. Common sprout control methods may compromise tuber quality, raise health and environmental concerns, and increase costs.

Journal of Applied Botany and Food Quality, 2016 The present research was conducted to determine the effects of chemical and natural sprout inhibitors on potato (Solanum tuberosum ‘Agria’) tuber quality at two storage temperatures (8 oC or 15 oC). Four doses (0, 50, 100, 150 g/10 L) of ground and whole

Chemical control of Poa trivialis on New Zealand racetracks : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Applied Science at Massey University [PDF]
, 1996 Poa trivialis is a perennial grass weed commonly found in perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne) racetrack swards throughout New Zealand. Its presence is undesirable as it does not tolerate high wear and is susceptible to dying out over the summer.

Application of gas chromatography time-of-flight mass spectrometry for target and non-target analysis of pesticide residues in fruits and vegetables [PDF]
, 2012 In this work, the capability of gas chromatography coupled to time-of-flight mass spectrometry (GC–TOF MS) for quantitative analysis of pesticide residues has been evaluated. A multiclass method for rapid screening of pesticides (insecticides, acaricides,
