Greater sage‐grouse habitat restoration with range management, revegetation, and herbicide
Populations of Greater sage‐grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus), an iconic symbol of sagebrush ecosystems, are declining in native grasslands due to habitat loss, degradation, and fragmentation. We conducted a field experiment in Grasslands National Park, Saskatchewan, Canada, to investigate how disturbance and land management (cattle grazed, bison ...

Forage Brassica Variety Trial [PDF]
Forage brassicas can provide a near-concentrate type diet late in the grazing season. This allows for an extra grazing opportunity after summer annuals are harvested or to supplement perennial cool season pasture during the fall months.

ABSTRACT Nitrogen and sulfur mustards, often acting as vesicants, have significant consequences for public health. Skin is a common site for exposure to these vesicants that can result in considerable morbidity and mortality. Given that the treatment options are limited, new insights into the mechanisms for the toxicity of these vesicants that can be ...

Enhancement of glucosinolate and isothiocyanate profiles in brassicaceae crops: addressing challenges in breeding for cultivation, storage, and consumer-related traits [PDF]
Glucosinolates (GSLs) and isothiocyanates (ITCs) produced by Brassicaceae plants are popular targets for analysis due to the health benefits associated with them. Breeders aim to increase the concentrations in commercial varieties; however, there are few

Effective target genes for RNA interference‐based management of the cabbage stem flea beetle
An oral RNAi screen consisting of 27 dsRNAs identified effective target genes for RNAi‐based pest control in the cabbage stem flea beetle The most effective target genes were involved in proteasomal pathways or gene expression, and their sequences were subjected to in silico off‐target analysis Knock‐down of some effective target genes also inhibited ...
