Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) have been proven to helpfully improve plant tolerance several abiotic stresses. However, no information has reported concerning the role of ZnO-NPs on pepper plants under salinity stress. Hence, this research aimed evaluate growth and physiological responses (Capsicum annum L.) ZnO-NP foliar application salinity. Plants were subjected 0 (control), 25 (S1), 50 ...

This study aims to analyze the internal factors and external as well marketing strategy of chili business at Pare Kediri Central Market. Data analysis was carried out by identifying factor evaluation (IFE) (EFE), determining appropriate through IE matrix SWOT matrix. The results found that influenced businesses Main External had an influence were existence partnerships between farmers, traders ...

Soil microbes play an important role in the biogeochemical cycling of nutrients and their availability to plants, which is for sustaining soil health agricultural sustainability. In light this, vesicular arbuscular mycorrhiza (VAM) plays function. Hyphae VAM can reach far beyond plant root zone, allowing it obtain from a considerably larger region soil. Mycorrhiza improves nutrition by facilita...

In this paper I investigate Capsicum, an extension to UNIX that introduces a new security model on top of existing UNIX architecture. This model consists of several new security primitives and system calls that replace existing UNIX functionality. I focus on two aspects of Capsicum: performance and usability. For performance, I compare the performance of Capsicum system calls to corresponding U...

Aflatoxins are secondary metabolites of moulds known to be carcinogenic for humans, and therefore should not be ingested in high doses. This study aimed to determine the level of mould and aflatoxin contamination in dehydrated chilli and nutmeg imported from India and Indonesia, respectively, packaged in Italy, and commercialized worldwide. We tested 63 samples of chilli (22 sanitized through h...

Forty-three bacterial isolates in five genera were recovered from naturally infected green pepper fruits (38 samples) showing dark brown, irregular-shaped splotches. The pathogenicity test was performed on healthy green pepper fruits and red colonies were from inoculated fruits showing the same symptoms and the infected area developed into soft rot. Their identification was based on phenotypic ...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Plants modulate defence signalling networks in response to different biotic stresses. The present study evaluated the effect of a phloem-sucking aphid on plant defence mechanisms in pepper (Capsicum annuum) during subsequent pathogen attacks on leaves and rhizosphere bacteria on roots. METHODS Plants were pretreated with aphids and/or the chemical trigger benzothiadiazol (...

The genus Capsicum is New World in origin and represents a complex of a wide variety of both wild and domesticated taxa. Peppers or fruits of Capsicum species rarely have been identified in the paleoethnobotanical record in either Meso- or South America. We report here confirmation of Capsicum sp. residues from pottery samples excavated at Chiapa de Corzo in southern Mexico dated from Middle to...
