Fruit growth and fruit drop in banana passion fruit plants (Passiflora tripartita var. mollissima)

, 2017
Growth is an irreversible increase in the size of plant organs that may involve changes in their form, and is accompanied by processes such as morphogenesis and cell differentiation. The mathematical expression of fruit growth in cultivated plants allows one to estimate aspects related to production, and contributes to defining protocols applicable to ...

How cold is too cold? A theoretical analysis of the optimal trigger for index insurance for frost damage to crops

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Crop insurance is undoubtedly an extremely valuable element in protecting agricultural businesses, but in many cases standard indemnity‐based products have had very low uptake due to high transaction costs elevating premiums to unaffordable levels.

Evaluating the African arid corridor hypothesis: A meta‐analysis including the phylogenetic and biogeographical history of Sesamothamnus

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise We examined the African arid corridor (AAC) disjunction pattern of vascular plants between northeastern and southwestern Africa in the context of geological and climatic events since the late Miocene. We developed a phylogenetic and biogeographical framework for the arid‐adapted genus Sesamothamnus (Pedaliaceae), a classic example of ...

Interactions between maternal provisioning and natural selection on seed mass fluctuate across heat waves

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Changing climates are leading to more frequent and severe heat waves, potentially threatening plant populations. Both acclimation to stress and selection for heat‐escape or heat‐resistance phenotypes occur during heat waves. However, plastic responses and selection do not necessarily interact cohesively—even producing trait responses ...

Agricultural Injuries With Dementia: Double Whammy?

American Journal of Industrial Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Nearly 40% of US farmers are over 65 years old. Some emerging evidence links agricultural occupational exposure to increased dementia risk. However, little is known about dementia and injury outcomes in agricultural settings. Methods We employed data from the American College of Surgeons Trauma Quality Programs Participant Use File (

On the Prospects for African Philosophy in Australia

Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper grapples with the situation of people of African descent in Australia by working through the constitution of the body of academic philosophy in the country. It contends with the parochialism of the Australian philosophical community and the prospects for the cultivation of greater pluralism. Taking African philosophy as one possible

Harnessing the Interfacial Activity of Soluble Faba Protein‐Tannic Acid Conjugates for Enhanced Lipid Oxidative Stability of Oil‐in‐Water Emulsions

Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In oil‐in‐water emulsions, lipid oxidation begins at the interface between the two phases. One strategy to slow down this process is to place antioxidants at the interface, where they can directly block oxidative reactions. This study explored that idea by conjugating soluble faba bean protein with tannic acid using the free‐radical grafting ...

Impact of Pumpkin and Carrot Flours on the Oxidative and Rheological Properties: Properties of Low‐Fat Cold‐Pressed Oil Mayonnaise

Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society, EarlyView.
Partial substitution of sunflower oil with cold‐pressed oils (0‐20%) improves the bioactive composition, oxidative stability, and overall quality of mayonnaise while preserving emulsion stability. ABSTRACT This study investigates the effects of xanthan gum, carrot flour, and pumpkin flour on the physicochemical, rheological, and bioactive properties of
