Three Decades of China's Bt Cotton: Achievements and Insights
Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Cotton is a vital natural fibre crop with significant economic value worldwide. In response to the threat of cotton bollworm (Helicoverpa armigera), the China government initiated a research project in 1992 to develop transgenic Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) cotton.

Do stones modify the spatial distribution of fire induced soil water repellency? Preliminary data [PDF]
, 2013 Water repellency is a property of many fire-affected soils that contributes to delayed wetting rates and shows many hydrological and geomorphological consequences.

A Soil Water Repellency Empirical Model
Vadose Zone Journal, 2009 The contact angle (α) varies nonlinearly with the soil water content (θ g ) in water‐repellent soils; however, a quantitative description of such a θ g dependence of α is still lacking.

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.Abstract Introduction Species interactions are an overlooked yet important determinant of plant community assembly in ecological restoration. Specifically, they may determine species that are helped or hindered by neighboring plants during community assembly. Evidence suggests that intraspecific aggregation in combination with interspecific segregation

Natural Sciences Education, Volume 55, Issue 1, June 2026.Abstract In this article, we describe an inquiry‐based teaching activity developed in a public high school in Brazil. The objectives were to (a) develop an experimental activity grounded on the students’ autonomy for formulating and testing hypotheses, (b) address Biology topics from a historical and multidisciplinary perspective, (c) stimulate skills ...

Do topical repellents divert mosquitoes within a community? Health equity implications of topical repellents as a mosquito bite prevention tool. [PDF]
, 2013 OBJECTIVES: Repellents do not kill mosquitoes--they simply reduce human-vector contact. Thus it is possible that individuals who do not use repellents but dwell close to repellent users experience more bites than otherwise.

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.ABSTRACT The overuse of synthetic pesticides in agriculture has raised significant environmental and health concerns. Biopesticides have emerged as viable, environmentally compatible alternatives. However, recent comprehensive reviews integrating all biopesticide categories and emphasizing their contribution to synthetic‐pesticide‐free and health‐safe ...

ORIGEM DOS COMPOSTOS HIDROFÓBICOS E SEUS EFEITOS EM FLORESTAS DE Pinus E Eucalyptus
Ciência Florestal, 2015 Hydrophobicity can be understood as the soil water repellency or difficulty to soil wetting. This is associated with the coating of soil particles by hydrophobic organic substances and currently there are numerous reports of water repellency in forest ...
