How does a grassroots Covid-19 relief effort help to promote partnership culture? This article offers a first-person account of partnership values at work in Seed Releaf, a community-based organization co-founded by the author in response to local food inequity amplified by the coronavirus pandemic.

Seed Health Testing: Doing Things Right
Since seeds can be a route for pathogen introduction, they are routinely inspected and tested to prevent pest outbreaks and introduction into new territories. The need for high throughput, short lead times, and cost reduction has played an important role

Development of a Multiplex RT-PCR for the Simultaneous Detection of Five Viruses and Viroids in Peach [PDF]
A multiplex reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (mRT-PCR) assay was developed for the simultaneous detection of three viruses and two viroids infecting peach trees, including apple chlorotic leaf spot virus, plum bark necrosis stem pitting ...

optimal conditions determination for standard germination test of Asafoetida (Ferula assa-foetida) seeds [PDF]
Ferula assa-foetida is one of the important medicinal plants of Apiaceae that has been exposed to extinction with repeated withdrawals from its natural habitat. Study of seed germination behavior of this species can lead to the development of cultivation

Seed-to-Seed-to-Seed Growth and Development of Arabidopsis in Microgravity [PDF]
Arabidopsis thaliana was grown from seed to seed wholly in microgravity on the International Space Station. Arabidopsis plants were germinated, grown, and maintained inside a growth chamber prior to returning to Earth. Some of these seeds were used in a subsequent experiment to successfully produce a second (back-to-back) generation of microgravity ...

Influence of multiplicative stochastic variation on translational elongation rates. [PDF]
Experimental data indicate that stochastic effects exerted at the level of translation contribute substantially to the variation in abundance of proteins expressed at moderate to high levels.

SummaryThe involvement of four factors (life history, predation, possession of a persistent seed bank and seedling establishment) in the evolution of seed size in flowering plants is discussed. Among herbacaeous plants, biennials seem to have larger seeds than annuals and perennials, a difference which may explain the capacity of some biennials to ...

Heredity and Variability of Early Maturity of Cotton Hybrids Developed By Participation of the Introgressive Progenies [PDF]
In the article described the results of the analysis of the dominancy and variability of the main components of early maturing, i.e. the “germination-50% flowering” and the “germination-50% maturing” periods of F1-F4 hybrids developed by the ...
