Topography controls snowpack accumulation and hence growing-season length, soil water availability, and the distribution of plant communities in the Colorado Front Range alpine. Nutrient cycles in such an environment are likely to be regulated by interactions between topographically determined climate and plant species composition. We investigated variation in plant and soil components of inter...

Citation: Kunert KJ and Pillay P (2015) Commentary: Extracellular peptidase hunting for improvement of protein production in plant cells and roots. Despite much recent success in plant-based protein production, key challenges, such as undesired plant proteolytic activities, still severely compromises current recombinant protein production with peptidases affecting protein stability (Pillay et a...

Background & Aim: Investigation of suspension cell culture and callus production in Catharanthus roseus. Catharanthus roseus is an herbaceous perennial plant belongs to the family Apocynaceae. C. roseus is important as commercial medicinal plant because of its alkaloidal content. Whole plant contains about 130 alkaloids those are classified as vinca alkaloids...

U strukturi poljoprivredne proizvodnje Republike Hrvatske prevladava biljna proizvodnja. Bez provođenja neke od mjera zaštite gubitci potencijalnog prinosa na svjetskoj razini bili bi oko 50%. Poljoprivreda EU se još uvijek uvelike oslanja upotrebu pesticida za zaštitu bilja a prosječni specifični troškovi biljne (u koje spada i trošak zaštite) čine 41,5% ukupnog troška u EU-28. Primjenom stand...
