His entire crop stems from a bag of bulbs bequeathed to his wife from an Italian neighbor, who claimed they had been smuggled over from Calabria.
In cereal crops, stem lodging can be classified into two types: stem-breaking type and stem-bending type.
The ethical issues arising from genetically modified crops, stem cells, or mammalian cloning have received a great deal of scrutiny by the media, and the resulting debate is far from settled.
This is especially the case for science and medicine: where amidst what Franklin calls a 'crisis of bad faith', political and media discussion of GM crops, stem cells and retained organs continues to prioritize external oversight and public participation in the regulatory process (Franklin, 2003).
That could happen in the coming months as a crop shortage stemming from the drought pushes up prices on grains like corn, says Lonski.
The modulus of elasticity, moment of inertia of the transverse section, height and linear density of the crop stem, and crop throughput are some of the crop parameters identified in the models.
Crop plants stem from wild species through the process of domestication, the adaptation to cultivation and use by humans (Zeder et al. 2006).
Total damage from the storm was estimated at $750,000 with the majority stemming from crops.
He explored the risks and rewards of genetically modified plants and crops, pesticides, stem-cell research, cloning and other issues as co-editor of two textbooks, "New Dimensions in Bioethics" (2000) and "Expanding Horizons in Bioethics" (2005).
These shortcomings led to a vision of developing second-generation lignocellulosic bioenergy crops, wherein stems, leaves, and/or husks of plants such as switchgrass, Miscanthus, jatropha, and poplar, may be used for the production of biofuels.
