Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) are used as additive flame retardants. PBDEs are persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic compounds. They are often detected in sewage sludge which is applied on agricultural soils as fertilizer. The objective of this study was to find out whether plants are able to accumulate and translocate PBDEs. Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) and nightshade (Solanum nigrum) ...

In the present scenario, Deep Learning (DL) is one of most popular research algorithms to increase accuracy data analysis. Due intra-class differences and inter-class variation, image classification difficult jobs in processing. Plant or spinach recognition deep learning applications through its leaf. Spinach more critical for human skin, bone, hair, etc. It provides vitamins, iron, minerals, p...

Plant chemistry is an important contributor to the interaction with herbivores. Here, we report on a previously unknown role for foliar and glandular trichome volatiles in their interaction with the specialist herbivore of solanaceous plants, the tomato red spider mite Tetranychus evansi. We used various bioassays and chemical analyses including coupled gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/...

The subgenomes of the plant cell, the nuclear genome, the plastome, and the chondriome are known to interact through various types of coevolving macromolecules. The combination of the organellar genome from one species with the nuclear genome of another species often leads to plants with deleterious phenotypes, demonstrating that plant subgenomes coevolve. The molecular mechanisms behind this n...

Aims: To evaluate the nematicidal potential of wild spinach powder in combination with fresh chopped leaves of different plants viz., Indian mallow, Mexican poppy, Ivy gourd, Trailing eclipta, Wild eggplant and Black pigweed against Meloidogyne incognita on plant growth characters of tomato cv. K-21. Place and Duration of Study: A glasshouse pot experiment was carried out in the Department of B...

Typhlodromus recki (Acari: Phytoseiidae) was collected from aubergines, pepper, black nightshade and jimsonweed plants infested with spider mites a pesticide-free vegetable garden in Denizli, Turkey. The biology life table parameters for T. feeding on Tetranychus urticae Tetranychidae) at different temperatures (15, 20, 25, 30 35 °C) were determined. results showed that total preadult periods o...

Ralstonia solanacearum causes bacterial wilt disease in many plant species. Type III-secreted effectors (T3Es) play crucial roles pathogenesis. However, some T3Es are recognized by corresponding resistance proteins and activate immunity. In this study, we identified the R. T3E protein RipAZ1 (Ralstonia injected AZ1) as an avirulence determinant black nightshade species Solanum americanum. Based...

The tomato red spider mite, Tetranychus evansi Baker and Pritchard, has emerged as a destructive invasive pest of solanaceous crops worldwide. It was first recorded in Syria 2011, Latakia governorate, the coastal region. Successful management T. given region benefits from information about its distribution, host plants, associated natural enemies. Therefore, we investigated, 2019 2020, status o...

The intent of this study was to assess the feasibility engaging youths in secondary schools disseminating agricultural information among smallholder farmers using a five-month vertical vegetable gardening technology case Busia County, Kenya. research employed mixed design targeting and schools. A sample 132 their first, second, third years were selected participate at baseline survey, during in...
