The potato tuberworm, Phthorimaea operculella Zeller (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae), is a serious pest of the potato, Solanum tuberosum L. (Solanales: Solanaceae), in both fields and stores in tropical and subtropical regions. In the present study, the susceptibility of different potato cultivars to P. operculella was evaluated by measuring life table parameters. Tests were undertaken with leaves a...

The free amino acid asparagine and the reducing sugars glucose and fructose has been reported to serve as precursors for the heat-induced formation of potentially toxic acrylamide in a variety of plant-based food. To contribute to our knowledge about the levels of these precursors, we used ion-exchange chromatography to measure free asparagine and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) t...

In this study, morbidity in insured Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever (NSDTR) dogs from Sweden was investigated and compared with all other breeds and other retriever breeds. In addition to describing common morbidities in NSDTRs, the hypotheses that NSDTRs are predisposed to lymphoma, immune-mediated rheumatic disease (IMRD) and steroid-responsive meningitis-arteritis (SRMA) were tested. Incl...

The mechanical properties of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) in various treatments including: three different varieties (Agria, Satina and Caesar), ten levels of storage time (22 weeks), and three levels of loading direction were presented in this study by conducting 270 uniaxial compression tests. The tests were performed on potato flesh in real conditions of storage. The measurements were done ...

En junio de 1922 se celebrará el concurso cante primitivo andaluz o jondo la plaza los Aljibes, en Alhambra granadina, auspiciado por Manuel Falla, con figura estelar García Lorca detrás. Ángeles Ortiz será encargado hacer un cartel para que venía precedido una agria polémica entre flamenquistas y antiflamenquistas, había trascendido al ámbito nacional. MAO cuya mujer, gitana, Paquita Alarcón, ...

in order to determine the resistance levels and the most suitable potato genotypes to the early blight, an experiment was conducted in a completely randomized factorial design with three replications, in national plant gene bank of iran during 2007-2008. factors included pathogenic fungus, a. tenuissima and a. alternata and six potato genotypes, picasso, marfona, delta, agria, cosmos and armida...

in order to estimate the reducing sugar in tubers of potato by using a manual glucose determiner, an experiment was conducted in factorial arrangement based on completely randomized design with three replications. in this research reducing sugar of four cultivars of potato – agria, sante, with two methods: enzymatic and a manual glucose determiner. the results picaso and kizer – that maintained...
