A comparison of Olpidium isolates from a range of host plants using internal transcribed spacer sequence analysis and host range studies [PDF]

Olpidium brassicae is a ubiquitous obligate root-infecting fungal pathogen. It is an important vector of a wide range of plant viruses. Olpidium isolates that infected brassica plants did not infect lettuce plants and vice-versa.

Biomimetic Adaptive Hydrothermal Balance Fabric‐Based Dual‐Interface Solar Evaporator for Efficient and Stable Desalination

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study combines the biological structure of octopuses with the “3D structure” of spacer fabrics to fabricate a dual‐interface solar evaporator with adaptive hydrothermal balance. Water adaptation is achieved through the differentiated design of the upper and lower layers, and dynamic hydrothermal balance is realized by dynamically regulating the ...

Quality of lettuce Lactuca sativa (var. Tropicana M1) grown with two low-salinity shrimp effluents

Food Chemistry: X, 2019
In a previous study, we investigated the use of shrimp effluents from well water (WW) and diluted seawater (DSW) (both with 2.7 dS m−1 electrical conductivity (EC)), and a hydroponic solution (HS) as the control treatment in greenhouse lettuce production.

Effect of weed management strategies on the risk of enteric pathogen transfer into the food chain and lettuce quality [PDF]

, 2007
The hygienic quality of raw edible vegetables such as lettuce may be influenced by pathogen transfer from soil to plant, which might occur during weed control by hoeing or as splash-effects during rainfall.
