Banana Fusarium wilt (Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense) control and resistance, in the context of developing wilt-resistant bananas within sustainable production systems by Siamak, S.B., Zheng, S.

“…A complementary approach for managing Fusarium wilt, such as exclusion, surveillance and biological control as important components of integrated disease management programs must be considered to prevent and contain contagion. This includes studies on banana plant-microbe interactions, embracing both plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) to induce Foc resistance, and exploring Foc-derived elicitors for inducing defense-related enzymes in bananas. …”

Milk handling practices and consumption behavior among Borana pastoralists in southern Ethiopia by Amenu, K., Wieland, Barbara, Szonyi, Barbara, Grace, Delia

“…On the other hand, potential risk mitigation practices were identified such as smoking of milk containers (which may help reduce microbial growth), processing milk through fermentation, consuming milk in boiled tea, and a recent trend towards boiling milk for babies. …”

Transformations and recovery of residue and fertilizer nitrogen15 in a sandy Lixisol of West Africa by Ibewiro, B., Vanlauwe, Bernard, Sanginga, P., Merckx, Roel

“…Averaged across treatments, particulate SOM fractions accounted for less than 1% of the total soil by weight but contained 20% of total soil C and 8% of soil N. Soils amended with mucuna or lablab incorporated more N in the 250–2000 μm SOM pool, whereas soil amended with imperata or the mixed residues incorporated similar proportions of labeled N in the 250–2000 μm and 53–250 μm fractions. …”

The Genome of Cardinium cBtQ1 Provides Insights into Genome Reduction, Symbiont Motility, and Its Settlement in Bemisia tabaci by Santos-Garcia, Diego, Rollat-Farnier, Pierre-Antoine, Beitia, Francisco J., Zchori-Fein, Einat, Vavre, Fabrice, Mouton, Laurence, Moya, Andres, Latorre, Amparo, Silva, Francisco J.

“…Furthermore, the Cardinium cBtQ1 genome displays a large proportion of transposable elements, which have recently inactivated genes and produced chromosomal rearrangements. The genome also contains a chromosomal duplication and a multicopy plasmid, which harbors several genes putatively associated with gliding motility, as well as two other genes encoding proteins with potential insecticidal activity. …”

Evaluation of 3,4-dimethylpyrazole phosphate as a nitrification inhibitor in a Citrus-cultivated soil by Serna, María D., Banuls, Josefina, Quinones, Ana, Primo-Millo, Eduardo, Legaz, Francisco

“…In another experiment, 100 g N as ASN, either with or without 0.75 g DMPP (1% DMPP relative to NH4+-N) was applied to 6-year-old citrus plants grown individually outdoors in containers. Concentrations of NH4+-N and NO3--N at different soil depths and N distribution in the soil profile after consecutive flood irrigations were monitored. …”

Citrus and Prunus copia-like retrotransposons by Asins, María J., Monforte, Antonio J., Mestre, P. F., Carbonell, Emilio A.

“…A new C-methylated restriction DNA fragment containing a RT sequence is present in navel sweet oranges, but not in Valencia oranges from which the former originated suggesting, that retrotransposon activity might be, at least in part, involved in the genetic variability among sweet orange cultivars. …”
