A hypothetical 'continuous OSR rotation' scenario was included as control, in which OSR was grown every year, allowing us to explore the effects of adding representative crop rotations on hybrid population growth compared with no rotations.
The planted runners were done in the experimental plot in the fashion of row randomized block design with three replications in the month of January every year and standard agronomic practices were followed to raise a healthy and representative crop of Mentha piperita.
The primers were used to amplify genomic DNA template extracted from a germplasm panel consisting of twelve globe artichoke genotypes, representative of crops grown in the Mediterranean Basin [ 20]; nine cultivated cardoon genotypes, representative of both the Spanish and Italian gene pools [ 21]; and seven wild cardoon genotypes sampled from both Sicily and Sardinia [ 26].
Composite surface soil samples of the 0 15 cm depth were collected using random sampling technique from representative (15) crop fields using auger.
For data display, representative bands cropped from the same blot are indicated by a vertical separation line.
It has been suggested that rapeseed, known as the representative oilseed crop, can possibly be used as a heavy metal extracting plant for phytoremediation [ 35- 37].
We selected the time periods to coincide with the self-reported interview data on pesticide use (1 year), the upper limit that we judged the crop maps to be representative of actual cropping patterns (2 years), and the time period most associated with concentrations of pesticides in house dust (180 days) in the previous study that evaluated the relationship with CPUR data (Harnly et al. 2009).
In the United States, where about two-thirds of processed food contains ingredients made from genetically modified corn, soybeans, potatoes or other crops, Representative Dennis J. Kucinich, an Ohio Democrat, is sponsoring bills requiring labeling and safety testing of such foods.
The objective of this study was to explore the utility of haplotypes for GWAS in barley, as a representative of such crops.
In this study, maize straw is chosen as a representative of terrestrial crops composed of hemicelluloses, cellulose and lignin, to compare to U. pertusa in terms of pyrolytic and kinetic characteristics.
