Τhis study aims to measure the abundance of microplastic (MP) particles in soft tissue mussel (Mytilus galloprovincialis) and pearl oyster (Pinctada imbricata radiata) specimens. Samples were collected at four sites Greece (Sagiada, Malesina, Elounda, Rhodes) from wild farmed populations. The identification MPs was accomplished by Raman spectroscopy. Comparisons made between two different speci...

objective: to study plants purification capability of  cu on two cultivars of vetch plant (vigna radiata) in contaminated soils and their effects on morphological characteristics. methods: we conducted a completely randomized trial as factorial. different concentrations of  cu (0, 150, 300, and 400 mg/ kg of dried soil) were used. after four weeks growth on contaminated soil, parameters such as...

Carle, J.B. Quality control sampling in post-thinning assessments at Kaingaroa Forest Chong, Sing-Lai Effect of moisture content on retention of copper-chrome-arsenate preservative in radiata pine sapwood created by vacuum pressure method Dale, R.W. A study of root and needle distribution patterns in 6 year old P. radiata at Eyrewell Forest Deadman, H.W. Farmers' attitudes towards planting tree...

The role of ethylene in light control of leaf abscission im mung bean, Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek cv Jumbo, cuttings was examined. While red light inhibits and far-red light promotes loss of break strength in abscission zones as compared with dark controls, changes in the rate of abscission could not be associated with changes in the rate of ethylene production. Reducing ethylene synthesis in t...

The objectives of this study were to (1) describe the host range for 6 tetraphyllidean species and quantify their host specificity using 5 specificity indices; (2) determine the role of morphological determinants in the host specificity of tetraphyllideans by comparing villar and bothridial measurements of species examined herein; and (3) determine the role of a physiological component in the h...

manipulating of planting pattern is a method to increase the crop yield per unit of area which should be considered in different regions. in order to evaluate the effects of between and within row distances on growth indices of gahar mung bean, an experiment was conducted at the agricultural research center of ilam in 2004. the experiment was a split-plot arranged in an rcb design.three between...

The pitch canker fungus Fusarium circinatum was first associated with mortality of P. radiata in California during the 1980s. Since then it has been dispersed to several countries of the Northern hemisphere together with South Africa and Chile in the southern hemisphere. In Chile the disease caused mortality of seedlings in P. radiata at nursery, and in South Africa the pathogen has already com...

Radiata pine (Pinus radiata) lumber from Australia, Chile, and New Zealand is imported into Korea where it represents one of the most important sources of timber. Blue stain of this timber is a serious problem for which an integrated control strategy is being developed. One of the fungi that has been isolated from stained radiata pine sapwood in Korea is a Leptographium sp. that has a distinct ...

Mungbean (Vigna radiata) is a fast-growing, warm-season legume crop that is primarily cultivated in developing countries of Asia. Here we construct a draft genome sequence of mungbean to facilitate genome research into the subgenus Ceratotropis, which includes several important dietary legumes in Asia, and to enable a better understanding of the evolution of leguminous species. Based on the de ...
