Apples are one of the most important global crops that relies heavily on insect pollination, which has been shown to increase apple production and value.However, recent reports indicate that apple production has been declining in certain regions, including in Bhutan.One of the potential causes of declining production are pollination deficits driven
The Aerial Parts of Agrimonia procera Wallr. and Agrimonia eupatoria L. as a Source of Polyphenols, and Especially Agrimoniin and Flavonoids
Plants of the genus Agrimonia L.perfectly fit the current trends in nutrition and food technology, namely, the need for raw materials with a high content of bioactive natural compounds, including polyphenols, which could be added to food.The composition of polyphenolics, including agrimoniin and flavonoids, in the aerial parts of Agrimonia procera
Gastroprotective and Antioxidant Effects of Royal Jelly on Ethanol-Induced Gastric Ulcer in Rats
Background and purpose: Gastric ulcer is one of the most common diseases of the digestive system.Among the factors that cause gastric ulcers, excessive alcohol consumption is the main reason for stomach mucosal damage; therefore, the experimental model of gastric ulcer caused by ethanol is often used to screen anti-ulcer compounds.There are a wide
Alternative splicing: transcriptional regulatory network in agroforestry
Alternative splicing (AS) in plants plays a key role in regulating the expression of numerous transcripts from a single gene in a regulatory pathway.Variable concentrations of growth regulatory hormones and external stimuli trigger alternative splicing to switch among different growth stages and Pour Over Dripper adapt to environmental stresses.In
Half Friend, Half Enemy? Comparative Phytophagy between Two Dicyphini Species (Hemiptera: Miridae)
Despite western Hats their importance as biological control agents, zoophytophagous dicyphine mirids can produce economically important damage.We evaluated the phytophagy and potential impact on tomato plants of Dicyphus cerastii and Nesidiocoris tenuis.We developed a study in three parts: (i) a semi-field trial to characterize the type of plant da
