A species-specific satellite DNA family in the genome of the coffee root-knot nematode Meloidogyne exigua : Application to molecular diagnostics of the parasite [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
A new Bg/II satellite DNA has been isolated, cloned and sequenced from the coffee root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne exigua (Nematoda: Tylenchida). It is represented as tandemly repeated sequences with a monomeric unit of 277 bp. The monomers are present at

Food without fire: Environmental and nutritional impacts from a solar stove field experiment

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Over 80% of the population in rural Sub‐Saharan Africa relies on biomass cooking fuel, a substantial source of anthropogenic greenhouse gases. We use a field experiment in Zambia to investigate the impact of solar stoves on biomass fuel use and cooking habits.

Evaluating Syrphid Fly Predation on Aphids Under Controlled and Field Conditions in High Tunnels: A Comparative Study With Lacewings

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biological control in high tunnel systems can be optimised by matching predator species to seasonal environmental conditions. We evaluated the predatory efficacy of syrphid flies (Toxomerus marginatus (Say), Eupeodes americanus (Fabricius)) and lacewings (Chrysoperla carnea (Stephens), Chrysoperla rufilabris (Burmeister)) across laboratory ...

Seleção indireta para teor de 2-tridecanona em tomateiros segregantes e sua relação com a resistência à traça-do-tomateiro Indirect selection to 2-tridecanone content and its relation to tomato pinworm resistance

open access: yesPesquisa Agropecuária Brasileira, 1999
Este trabalho teve como objetivo verificar a relação entre o teor de 2-tridecanona (2-TD) em materiais selecionados e o nível de resistência à traça-do-tomateiro (Tuta absoluta (Meyrick, 1917) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae)) em gerações avançadas de ...

Field Evaluation of Herbicides on Small Fruit, Vegetable, and Ornamental Crops, 1997 [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
Growers generally use herbicides to efficiently produce high-quality fruit and vegetables for processing or fresh market sales. Due to the smaller acreage of these crops compared to major field crops, fewer herbicides are registered for use in fruit and ...

Enhancing tomato regeneration and genetic transformation efficiencies via exogenous chemical treatment and the GRF5 gene modulation

open access: yesJournal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Supplementation of Driver and Kuniyuki Walnut Medium with phloroglucinol enhanced regeneration efficiency in tomato tissue culture. Heterologous expression of an Arabidopsis growth‐regulating factor gene, GROWTH‐REGULATING FACTOR5 (GRF5), in tomato improved regeneration and transformation efficiency, suggesting a synergistic effect between ...
