Utilization of the bar gene to develop an efficient method for detection of the pollen-mediated gene flow in Chinese cabbage ( Brassica rapa spp. pekinensis )
To develop an efficient screening method for detection of the transgene in Chinese cabbage (Brassica rapa spp. pekinensis) utilizing Basta spray, optimal conditions for Basta application were examined in this study. Two transgenic Chinese cabbage lines were obtained through Agrobacterium-mediated transformation and used as transgenic positive controls in the Basta screening experiment. ...

Stability of Lactobacillus acidophilus and Lactobacillus rhamnosus in minimally processed cabbage
The aim of this study was to evaluate the stability of Lactobacillus acidophilus and Lactobacillus rhamnosus in minimally processed cabbage as well as physical–chemical and microbiological characteristics of this product. After minimal process, the cabbage was soaked in solution with probiotic cultures of L. acidophilus and L. rhamnosus, which resulted in three treatments, one added with L. ...

Toxic effects of wastewater from various phases of monosodium glutamate production on seed germination and root elongation of crops
To make a comprehensive assessment on monosodium glutamate (MSG) wastewater pollution, a pollution exposure experiment was carried out on the seed germination and root elongation of wheat, Chinese cabbage and tomato by using the wastewater discharged from different processing phases of MSG production. The results showed that there were significantly positive linear relationships between the ...

Modeling the die-off of
E. coli andAscaris in wastewater-irrigated vegetables: implications for microbial health risk reduction associated with irrigation cessationThis study assessed the die-off of Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Ascaris suum on lettuce (Great Lakes 118) and cabbage (Brassica oleracea var capitata) in wastewater-irrigated fields using comparative mathematical die-off models. The study revealed that none of the survival curves of E. coli and A. suum was best fitted with the log-linear model, indicating that the classical first-order ...

Effect of Dislodging Techniques on Foliar Residue Determination for Agricultural Crops
Abstract The Agricultural Reentry Task Force (ARTF) conducted a study to determine whether different dislodgeable foliar residue (DFR) techniques had any effect on the amount of residues dislodged from the leaves of vegetable crops. Four previously employed techniques were evaluated with two chemicals (carbaryl and methomyl) on two crops (cabbage and lettuce). Carbaryl, a moderately ...

Sustainability of Current Agricultural Practices in The Cameron Highlands, Malaysia
Cameron Highlands is a mountainous region with steep slopes. Gradients exceeding 20◦ are common. The climate is favourable to the cultivation of tea, sub-tropical vegetables and flowers (under rain-shelter). Crop production is sustained by high fertiliser and manure applications. However, agriculture in this environment is characterised by high levels of soil erosion and environmental ...

Recovery of Terrestrial Plants in Vegetative Vigor and Seedling Emergence Tests from Exposure to Atrazine
Ten species of terrestrial plants, including six dicotyledonous and four monocotyledonous species, were exposed to a direct overspray of atrazine according to U.S. EPA seedling emergence and vegetative vigor study guidelines and subsequently evaluated for potential recovery. For each species, NOER, ER10, ER25, and ER50 values were calculated (where possible) for a variety of guideline required ...

Vermicompost production and its use for crop production in the Philippines
Vermicompost was produced with Perionyx excavatus and Eudrilus eugeniae using animal manures, leguminous leaves, grass and agro-forestry wastes. Yields of corn fertilised with vermicompost at 5t/ha and rice at 2t/ha of vermicompost were comparable with those for corn fertilised with 100% chemical fertilisers and 40% increase over the control for rice. Chinese cabbage and eggplant fertilised with ...

Seed germination, root elongation, root‐tip mitosis and micronucleus induction of five crop plants exposed to chromium in fluvo‐aquic soil
The present study aims at determining the toxic effects of chromium (Cr) on cabbage (Brassica oleracea), cucumber (Cucumis sativus), lettuce (Lactuca sativa), wheat (Triticum aestivum) and corn (Zea mays), and identify the sensitive plant species and appropriate bioassays for potential use in phytotoxicity assessment of Cr in soil. Results showed that seed germination might not be a sensitive ...

Effects of herbicide‐treated host plants on the development of Mamestra brassicae L. caterpillars
Herbicides are widely used pesticides that affect plants by changing their chemistry. In doing so, herbicides might also influence the quality of plants as food for herbivores. To study the effects of herbicides on host plant quality, we treated 3 plant species (Plantago lanceolata L., P. major L., and Ranunculus acris L.) with sublethal rates of either a sulfonylurea (Atlantis WG, Bayer ...

Modelling Pesticide and Nutrient Transport in the Cameron Highlands, Malaysia Agro-Ecosystems
Cameron Highlands has a long history of intensive horticulture especially vegetable and flower cultivation. This industry uses large amounts of nutrients and pesticides. Several simulation models were used to assess the movement of pesticides and nutrients in relation to agronomic practices in farm plots cultivated with cabbage and chrysanthemum. It was shown that most of the pesticides are ...

A strategy for sustainable livestock husbandry wastewater treatment in China
A strategy for sustainable treatment of the livestock husbandry wastewater is proposed, which is to recycle anaerobic treatment effluent as irrigation water. The existing treatment system was modified by deleting the treatment units after the anaerobic digestion. Chinese cabbage and Korean radish were selected as seeding plants in two sets of field irrigation experiments with various portions of ...

Annual effective dose assessment for 226Ra and 228Ra due to consumption of foodstuffs by Tehran city residents
A total of 71 samples from 23 different foodstuffs, namely root vegetables (beetroot, carrot, onion, potato, radish and turnip), leafy vegetables (lettuce, parsley, spinach and white cabbage) and lentils, kidneys, soya, eggs, rice, meat, tomato paste, cooking oil, salami, tea, bread, sausage and cubic sugar, were purchased from markets and analysed by gamma spectrometry for their 226Ra and 228Ra ...

Composting of vegetable waste in subtropical climates
This experiment examined the possibility of using composting as a method of waste disposal in subtropical countries, such as the United Arab Emirates (UAE), where temperatures are high and humidity is low. In order to simulate conditions in the UAE, a representative mixture of wastes generated in the UAE was prepared and tested at ambient temperatures resembling those of subtropical countries. ...
