Weed Suppression by Release of Isothiocyanates from Turnip-Rape Mulch

wick et al., 1983). Living plants do not actively release high amounts of ITCs (Börner, 1961), because glucosiThe allelopathic potential of isothiocyanates (ITC) released by nolates are located in the vacuole and myrosinase is turnip–rape mulch [Brassica rapa (Rapifera Group)–Brassica napus L.] was evaluated. Six different ITCs were identified from chopped bound to the cell wall (Björkman, 1976...

Turnip Rape and Oilseed Rape Allergy in Children with Atopic Dermatitis

Northward Propagation, Initiation, and Termination of Boreal Summer

A simple multilayer-zonally symmetric model, using a multicloud convective parameterization and coupled to a dynamical bulk atmospheric boundary layer, is used here to simulate boreal summer intra-seasonal oscillations (BSISO) in the summer monsoon trough and elucidate the underlying main physical mechanisms responsible for their initiation, propagation, and termination. Northward-moving precip...

Maintenance of the boreal-forest rainbelts during northern summer

It is not unreasonable to expect that boreal forests which exist along 60 o N in the Eurasian and North American continents were created and are maintained by warm seasonal rainfall. As revealed from satellite observations and various precipitation sources, zonally elongated rainbelts appear along these forests. Previous studies show that a relationship may exist between the frontal zone along ...

Thermodynamic Bias in the Multimodel Mean Boreal Summer Monsoon*

Here it is shown that almost all models participating in the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP) exhibit a common bias in the thermodynamic structure of boreal summer monsoons. The strongest bias lies over South Asia, where the upper-tropospheric temperature maximum is too weak, is shifted southeast of its observed location, and does not extend as far west over Africa as it does in obs...
