Finally, we tackle the question of the design of tillage systems to enhance biological control in cultivated fields.
Under control conditions, cultivated tomato had higher levels of all antioxidants (except superoxide dismutase) than S. pennellii.
The dependence of biennial plants on photothermal induction complicates bolting control in cultivated crops in which a large proportion of genetic variation is attributed to additive inheritance (Sadeghian and Johansson, 1993).
The following soil treatments were studied: control (non-cultivated soil under natural vegetation (NC)), control soil amended with NPK (conventional corn fertilization) and four treatments N1, N2, N4 and N8 with applications of 3.5, 7, 14 and 28 Mg ha−1 of sewage sludge (dry matter), respectively.
Because the number and area of apple orchards were highly correlated (r = 0.91, P < 0.001), we investigated the effects of the number and area of apple orchards on PDOM→SYL independently in two distinct models (hereafter called models 1 and 2, respectively), controlling for cultivated apple tree density.
They were like strings pulled too tightly, and you waited —sometimes hoped — for that dearly cultivated control to snap.
The figures obtained are in good agreement with previously published results of direct monitoring of snowmelt erosion rates, reporting approximately a 3 -fold decrease of average snowmelt erosion rates in the experimental sub-catchment compared to a traditionally cultivated control sub-catchment.
For FISH, mat samples from either LD, or cultivated control strains were fixed at 4°C in 2.5% paraformaldehyde (final conc.; per Fuchs et al., [31]) for 90 min. After fixation samples were rinsed twice with PBS via centrifugation at 2150 x g, resuspended in 1∶1 PBS:Molecular Biology Grade Ethanol, Sigma and stored at −20°C until use.
PR expression in our 3D-cultured SCs increased after 24 hr supplementation with 30 ng/mL P (compared to the hormone free cultivated control group), comparable to the increase of PR expression in SCs at the end of oestrus or early metestrus.
