[reaction: see text] L-Glycals can be prepared in seven steps from readily available D-glucals, enabling the facile construction of mirror-image carbohydrates such as the L-lactosamine derivative shown above.

In this study, water and nutrient uptake from the substrate and responses of the crop to fertigation strategies were analysed. In an experiment and simulation study, the amount and frequency of fertigation and electrical conductivity (EC) of the fertigation water were changed for a tomato crop grown on rockwool. In a climate chamber, tomato plants were grown on rockwool while five different EC ...

Phosphorus (P) is a macro mineral in broiler nutrition. In growing broilers, besides its requirement for proper bone development, it is also involved in almost all metabolic processes. Poor P availability results in decreased productivity and poor health status.Phosphorus availability from plant derived feeds is affected by an anti-nutritional factor “phytate”, which forms a variety of insolubl...
