Intercropping leek (Allium porrum L.) and celery (Apium graveolens L.) was recognized as an option to reduce growth and reproductive potential of weeds while maintaining yield and product quality of both crops on a high level. To optimise the intercropping system for yield, quality and weed suppression a combined use of mechanistic and descriptive models, together with experimental work, was ap...

It is very necessary to research the fluctuation of agricultural products prices as well as the data character. In this paper, the wholesale price of agricultural product is considered. The monofractal analysis and multifractal analysis methods are introduced to study wholesale price. We select the appropriate algorithm to calculate the fractal characteristics of the celery wholesale price. Res...

objective: obesity increases production of the extracellular matrix (ecm) role in pathological cardiovascular damage. regular exercise and the use of medicinal plants, particularly celery, in damage to be effective. the aim of this study is to investigate the changes in matrix metalloproteinases 2,9 (mmp 2,9) and tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinase 1 (timp-1) with synchronized exercise...

Staphylococcus aureus is a bacterium that causes various oral infections. Infections caused by S. are difficult to treat because they susceptible becoming resistant antibiotics. Oral infection can be prevented preventing plaque buildup with mouthwash, one of which chlorhexidine. Chlorhexidine reported have side effects in the short and long term. Therefore, it necessary search for natural ingre...

4-Coumarate: coenzyme A ligase (4CL; EC 6.2.1.12) is an important enzyme in the phenylpropanoid metabolic pathway that controls biosynthesis of lignin and flavonoids. In this study, to identify function Ag4CL3 gene celery, was cloned from celery cv. “Nanxuan Liuhe Ziqin”. Sequence analysis results showed contained open reading frame (ORF) with a length 1688 bp, 555 amino acids were encoded. The...

A palynological study of samples collected from the Tell el-Daba'a (Avaris) archaeological site, the capital of the Hyksos located in the Northeastern Nile Delta, Egypt, was conducted. A range of samples were analyzed for pollen content: mudbricks from tomb walls dating from the Middle (cal. 2124-1778 BC) and New Kingdom ages (cal. 1550-1750 BC), kitchen remains dating from the Middle Kingdom, ...

Illnesses from Escherichia coli O157:H7, Listeria monocytogenes, and Salmonella have been associated with the consumption of numerous produce items. Little is known about the effect of consumer handling practices on the fate of these pathogens on celery. The objective of this study was to determine pathogen behavior at different temperatures under different storage conditions. Commercial fresh-...

The pea leafminer, Liriomyza huidobrensis (Diptera: Agromyzidae), is a highly polyphagous insect pest of global distribution. L. huidobrensis feeds and lays its eggs on leaf tissue and reduces crop marketability because of stippling and mining damage. In field insecticide trials, it was observed that stippling was reduced on plants treated with surfactant alone. The objectives of this study wer...

The influence of home cooking methods (boiling, microwaving, pressure-cooking, griddling, frying, and baking) on the antioxidant activity of vegetables has been evaluated in 20 vegetables, using different antioxidant activity assays (lipoperoxyl and hydroxyl radicals scavenging and TEAC). Artichoke was the only vegetable that kept its very high scavenging-lipoperoxyl radical capacity in all the...

The emission and mitigation of nitrous oxide (N2O) from high nitrogen (N) vegetable systems is not well understood. Nitrification inhibitors are widely used to decrease N2O emissions in many cropping systems. However, most N2O flux measurements and inhibitor impacts have been made with small chambers and have not been investigated at a paddock-scale using micrometeorological techniques. We quan...
