Описание: This compilation opens with a review of the past and present literature related to conservation tillage practices in durum wheat production and analyses the problems that arise from conservation tillage practices. Additionally, drought and salt tolerance are evaluated at an early stage of plant development in a collection of nine cultivated durum wheat cultivars (Triticum durum Desf.), using plants grown under hydroponic conditions. The role of linear discriminant analysis and related chemometric methods in combination with liquid chromatography for the characterization, classification and authentication of foodstuffs and beverages is addressed. The authors investigate the prevalence of Campylobacter jejuni and its toxin genes, namely the cytolethal distending toxin gene, in selected vegetables that are commonly consumed raw in Kuala Terengganu, Malaysia. The Campylobacter jejuni isolated from selected vegetables is characterized against 10 types of antibiotics from six classes commonly used in clinical and agricultural settings, namely aminoglycosides, fluoroquinolones, glycopeptides, macrolides, beta-lactams, and tetracyclines. The closing paper discusses the case of the kwebo, a low-cost, multi-purpose farm structure designed to be typhoon-resistant yet easy to construct, making use of prefabricated structural elements and construction aids.

Описание: Chapter one discusses the current information about the changes in chickpeas nutritional value and health benefits given by its components after applying different kinds of food processes. In the second chapter, the authors suggest a holistic framework for defining, evaluating and improving the governance of agroecosystem services in Bulgaria. The interdisciplinary Theory of Ecosystem Services and the New Institutional Economy are adapted, and an attempt is made to define the governance of agroecosystem services, to identify its agents, forms and mechanisms, to formulate an adequate criterion for evaluating its efficiency, and to characterize the stages for its analysis and improvement. The aim of the third chapter was to develop a new "ready-to-eat" semi-solid CF product by using HHP at 600 MPa and 50°C for 15 or 25 min combined with final microwave heating prior to consumption. Eight combinations with a formulation that includes raw or toasted CF, with or without lemon juice, were evaluated using physicochemical (color and protein content, mechanical and rheological behavior), microbiological and sensory analyses. Subtropical Scientific Centre scientists (Sochi, Russia) have a task to select the most promising peach varieties of early, average and late maturation that are grown in the region. The timing of fruit maturation depends on the climatic conditions of the area, so in chapter four authors gave a brief description of the varieties, based on their maturation time in the humid subtropics of Russia. Chapter five, the auhors discuss how they came to the conclusion that using the plant growth regulators in okra may be an effective strategy for improving growth, yield, and quality production. In the last chapter, authors perform a study using anadenanthera colubrina var. cebil (leguminosae) to determine that the dynamic integration of the species biology, spatial ecology, and historical demographic events will provide valuable tools for a multi-scale understanding of gene dispersal processes and their consequences on genetic variability distribution.

Описание: In the opening study of Agricultural Research Updates. Volume 28, the capillarigation systems applications in vertical gardens were explored. The vertical garden model was designed for growing vegetables in home yards or within the vicinity of farming households, so they can have a regular supply of safe and nutritious food, especially during periods where water supply is scarce, excessive, or when maximizing the use of stored rainwater or kitchen wastewater. Next, this compilation describes recent progress and findings on the physiology of petal growth in cut rose flowers. To increase the ornamental value of cut roses, it is desirable that the timeframe for complete flower opening be relatively slow; therefore, understanding the mechanism by which rose flowers open is necessary to improve flower quality. The objective of the subsquent chapter is to present some recent findings about the influence of processing operations on the properties and bioactive compounds in carrots. To achieve this , different pre-treatments and processing operations are discussed, and their effects on some typical carrot products are described. Additionally, the authors discuss theoretical aspects and recent developments in ready-to-eat spinach, with the goal of improving the preservation of nutritional quality after harvest and extendiung its shelf-life. The authors also analyse 30 samples of fresh, frozen and IV range spinach, with the aim of identifying and quantifying nitrate and nitrite levels. Following this, a study is presented on the scientific validation of the medicinal and edible utility of fruits of A. moschatus using standard protocols sin order to account for potential commercial utilization. About 15 nutritional and five anti-nutritional constituents of the fruits of A. moschatus were tested and compared with those found in A. esculentus. In the penultimate chapter, the authors describe the current global status of conservation of cattle genetic resources and the cryo-technologies that are available to facilitate the protection of bovine genetic diversity. Worldwide adoption of such a policy has led to unique adaptations by cattle to a variety of local environments. The final chapter summarizes the following research progresses: the structure and components of Nox complex, the functions of these components, and control strategies for B. cinerea.

Описание: Volume 30 provides a detailed update on the production of salt-tolerant plants through molecular breeding and genetic engineering. Future prospects and concerns, along with the importance of novel techniques elucidating the genetic basis of salt-tolerance are also discussed. Next, a holistic framework for understanding and assessing the governance sustainability of Bulgarian agriculture is presented. This new approach is tested through a large-scale study for assessing the governance sustainability of a countrys agriculture at national, sectoral, regional, eco-system and farm levels. The authors go on to study the influence of abiotic factors such as temperature and water potential on the growth of E. turcicum on different crop residues used in rotations with maize under no-till system cultivation. In addition, strategies for minimizing food waste proposed by different organizations and countries that face the common challenge of achieving the participation of all sectors of society are analyzed. Later, male organ development in Brassica oleracea contributing the embryology of the Brassicaceae family is investigated, along with the beginning, advanced and final stages of programmed cell death in anther cell walls by cytochemical, biochemical and molecular processes. Two investigations were carried out in northwest Italy in an effort to highlight the importance of tannin quantity and quality on pastures, particularly focusing on the way this can affect milk quality during the grazing season due to changes in nutritional composition. The closing study focuses on Cannabis sativa L., or hemp, an annual, dioecious plants distributed especially in the northern hemisphere. Hemp plant contains at least 113 different phytocannabinoids and a diverse class of psychoactive compounds.

Описание: This compilation opens with a review of water productivity throughout the world, which may be a useful tool for water users and governments to establish their programs and strategies. The authors present the main technical aspects of modern surface irrigation systems, their capabilities for reducing water demand, and challenges for increasing water productivity. Additionally, the agronomic production, nutritional composition, human health benefits, nutritional breeding, and marketing opportunities regarding kale are reviewed. In one study, the authors attempt to characterize a hamburger sandwich made from cashew stalk, oat bran and cashew nut emulsion through an experimental study carried out between March and May of 2017. Subsequently, the histological factors of salt tolerance in arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi inoculated strawberry plants are evaluated. The authors provide an overview of the functionality of milk components in chocolate as well as the applications of milk powders in the manufacture of chocolate.
