Nutrition Rather Than Phytohormone-Dependent Defense of Host Plant Mediates the Different Response of Red- and Green-Morph Pea Aphids to Nitrogen Fertilization

Agronomy
Nitrogen fertilization is widely known to affect plant metabolism, which subsequently influences phytophagous insects through a bottom-up effect. The interplay between plants and insects is often overlooked in studies examining the effects of nitrogen ...

Demand for Nitrogenous Fertilizers and Fertilizer Price Policy in Pakistan [PDF]

The Pakistan Development Review, 1976
One of the major constraints to an increase in Pakistan's agricultural production is low fertilizer input. Despite spectacular growth of fertilizer con¬sumption during the '60s the rate of fertilizer application in Pakistan remains below the optimal rate [8, pp.77-90] and far below the rates in advanced countries [15, p. 24].

Acute caffeine treatment protects the developing retina from ischemia‐induced cell death

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Caffeine reduces cell death in the developing retina under ischemia (OGD). This effect does not involve BDNF upregulation or antioxidant pathways (NRF2/VEGF). Neuroprotection occurs mainly through adenosine A2A receptor antagonism, decreasing glutamate release and excitotoxicity, highlighting caffeine's potential as an acute neuroprotective agent in ...
