Quantitative genetics of maize (Zea mays L.) during seedling establishment under cool conditions : a thesis presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Agricultural Science in Plant Science at Massey University [PDF]

, 1992
Two experiments were conducted to study cool tolerance in maize (Zea mays L.). The first experiment was carried out under controlled environment to evaluate several genotypes from five synthetic populations which are currently being used to develop ...

Single and dual RPA‐CRISPR/Cas assays for point‐of‐need detection of Stewart's wilt pathogen (Pantoea stewartii subsp. stewartii) of corn and Maize dwarf mosaic virus

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 4, Page 1988-1999, April 2025.
Schematic diagram of the single and dual RPA‐CRISPR/Cas12a/13a diagnostic assays for the detection of Pantoea stewartii subsp. stewartii and Maize dwarf mosaic virus. The validated assays provide a useful and sensitive molecular tool for detecting two quarantine pathogens of maize within a minimal resource framework suitable for fast‐tracking the ...

Environmental Mycotoxins and Brain Health: Protective Role of Bromelain Against Fumonisin B1 in SH‐SY5Y Cells

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fumonisin B1 (FB1), a mycotoxin commonly found in contaminated food and feed, has been increasingly implicated in neurotoxicity, although its mechanisms remain poorly understood. This study investigates the neurotoxic potential of FB1 in human SH‐SY5Y neuroblastoma cells, both undifferentiated and RA‐differentiated, and evaluates the ...

Field test of assumptions for using line transect distance sampling on rock ptarmigan

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Reliable population estimates are essential for the management of harvested species. Line transect distance sampling using pointing dogs is an established survey method for willow ptarmigan and has also been proposed for the monitoring of rock ptarmigan.

Regional coyote densities estimated from camera trapping covary with deer productivity, anthropogenic land use, and human–coyote conflicts

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Density estimates assist conservation and management decisions. Unfortunately, management of elusive mesocarnivores occurring at low densities has often relied on qualitative metrics or population indices. The proliferation of camera trap sampling of wildlife provides an opportunity to apply recently developed methods for estimating density of unmarked

Mycotoxins‐contaminated wheat matrices bioconversion by Tenebrio molitor larvae (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae)

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Larval development time, ADG, survival rate and substrate consumption were not negatively affected by the levels of mycotoxins contamination Larvae excreted most of the ingested DON and its derivatives through exuviae and frass The mycotoxin accumulation rates observed in larvae were always below the current legal limits for livestock feed Abstract ...

A preventive strategy for the control of aphids in sweet pepper using lacewings and micrococcinelid beetles

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Aphids pose a serious risk to horticultural crops. Current biocontrol strategies often fail due to the poor establishment of natural enemies when aphids are scarce. We evaluated the potential of two aphidophagous predators, Micromus variegatus and Scymnus interruptus, to be used as preventive biocontrol agents, released before aphid infestation.

Iflaviruses in arthropods: when small is mighty

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Many arthropod species harbor iflaviruses, which often cause covert (asymptomatic) infections, but may still affect host fitness. We review the impact of iflaviruses on arthropod fitness, immunity, behaviour as well as the iflavirus’ host range, transmission, tissue tropism and the interactions with other microorganisms within arthropods.
