Nigerian Stored Products Research Institute developed a wall-in-wall evaporative cooling system for the storage of fresh fruits and vegetables. This is an effort in mitigating post-harvest loss The effect on physical properties tomatoes was investigated using ambient shelf as control. Weight loss, firmness colour changes were major studied. Tomatoes stored 24 days. There significantly higher we...

Background: Currently, frozen embryo transfers contribute an increasing rate of births from assisted reproductive technologies such as in vitro fertilization (IVF). However, very few studies evaluated the neonatal outcomes from frozen embryo transfer. This study aimed to investigate and compare the neonatal outcomes from frozen embryo transfer versus fresh embryo transfers. Materials and Method...

The distribution of Cry1Ab toxin was detected in the leaves of genetically modified maize of genetic event MON 810 by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Cry1Ab toxin contents in the leaves at reproductive (milk, R3) phenological stage were measured to be between 3,878 and 11,148 ng Cry1Ab toxin/g fresh weight. Toxin content was significantly lesser (significant difference (SD) = 1,823 ng Cry1Ab...

This experiment was conducted with the objective of evaluating the performance sage (Salvia officinalis L.) in different agroecology of Ethiopia for morpho-agronomic and chemical traits at Wondo genet, Hawassa, Qoqa and Holleta for two years from 2011/2012 to 2012/2013 cropping seasons. Data on plant height, branch number/plant, fresh leaf weight/plant, fresh stem weight/plant, above ground bio...

A pig changes over time: it puts on weight and eats more, as it becomes larger. Different pigs grow in a different manner. There is evidence that these differences in growth patterns between pigs are caused by genetic factors. This gives the opportunity to select for these different growth patterns, to better meet the demands of markets that differ in desired slaughter weight, eg Bacon, fresh p...

abstract lettuce is one of the best accumulators of heavy metals and nitrate between leafy vegetables. through this research, it was tried to decreased cadmium absorption with humic acid (ha) and studies the effect of ha on the accumulation and metabolism of nitrate. plants were grown in the peat/perlite and irrigated with hoagland solution with addition of cadmium (2 and 4 mg l -1) and ha (100...

stress management is considered as an important factor in nowadays landscape. therefore this research was conducted using a factorial experiment based on a randomized completely design with regulated deficit irrigation at four levels (100, 75, 50, and 25% of lawn irrigation requirement) and three replicates to evaluate some biochemical and physiological traits on four groundcover plants (lolium...
