Lettuce is cultivated on over one million hectares worldwide, with Argentina contributing 40,000 ha. Córdoba province the second-largest producer in Argentina, but its green belt has seen significant reductions areas. New environmentally friendly technologies are needed to improve, sustain and increase lettuce volume production. This study aimed use plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) as a sustainable alternative enhance production (Lactuca sativa L.) growth while mitigating...
Bergamot was traditionally grown for its essential oil, but recently, the juice’s health benefits have increased consumer demand. The need to understand how fruit characteristics change during growth and ripening is optimizing yield market attractiveness in order select best harvest time, understanding when fruits reached quality carpometric characteristics. Currently, knowledge on this topic very limited. aim of study evaluate changes Fantastico Femminello bergamot cultivars traditional...
J Oral Pathol Med (2010) 39: 10–15 Background: Among the agents that cause parotid sialosis, diabetes mellitus type 2 and chronic alcoholism are included. In this study, morphometrical modifications in diabetic sialosis were determined to compare them with histopathological characteristics of alcoholic sialosis. Methods: Five biopsy samples obtained from patients 12 seven individuals without these pathologies (control group) analyzed. A study parenchyme stroma, using a digital image analyzer...
Essential oils produced by medicinal plants possess important bioactive properties (antibacterial, antioxidant) of high value for human society. Pollination and herbivory can modify the chemical defences therefore they may influence bioactivity essential oils. However, effect ecological interactions on plant has not yet been evaluated. We tested hypothesis that cross-pollination simulated composition oils, improving Lepechinia floribunda (Lamiaceae). Through controlled experiments, we showed...
The insecticidal and antifungal properties of Mexican oregano (Lippia graveolens) essential oil from the Dominican Republic were investigated under laboratory conditions against two main pests stored grains: Sitophilus zeamais Fusarium verticillioides. Although at 600 ?l/l air did not result in a significant mortality S. after 24 hours exposure by fumigation, this was powerful acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitor vitro. One components oil, p-cymene, presented fumigant toxicity AChE...
Background: In alcoholic parotid sialosis, the gland is frequently enlarged due to ductal and/or acinar hypertrophy, hyperplasy and stromal fat infiltration. The aim of this study was determine dimensions, number striated ducts proportion tissue in patients with without sialosis. Methods: Twelve biopsy samples from hepatic cirrhosis those seven controls were used. A morphometrical a digital image analyser attached an optical microscope carried out. Direct indirect indicators dimensions...
This short communication presents a novel approach to determining the soil sustainability of productive practices in an Argentinean arid region, using resilience degree organic matter components. The study was conducted four sites Arid Chaco region Cordoba province: one undisturbed site, two with livestock (with total and selective clearing) site agriculture. In each three samples were taken matter, fulvic humic acids, non-humic substances analyzed. Variations component (%) between practice...
Abstract Land‐use change and the conversion of land into croplands is one main drivers soil degradation loss organic carbon. Few studies have evaluated impact expansion agricultural frontier on microbial communities in Gran Chaco region South America; therefore, objective this study was to explore how respond land‐use changes a semiarid Argentina. The uses selected were total selective clearing with livestock (TC‐livestock SC‐livestock), agriculture (TC‐agriculture), an undisturbed site...
We analyzed the following characteristics of water self-depuration capacity along a polluted river (Suquía River) in Argentina: (a) abundance microbial metabolic groups, (b) cover and type vegetation, (c) concentration soil sediment humic substances. The objective was to establish modifications sites comparison reference site order provide basic data for ecological restoration programs. Five samples riparian soil, water, sediments were collected at five during low- high-flow periods. In each...
Global population is expected to increase 9x109 individuals by 2050, which highlights the need produce more food in a sustainable way. The demand for alternatives synthetic insecticides reflected increasing amount of research dealing with essential oils as insecticidal and repellent compounds. Argentina has large regions tropical, temperate, cold climates, where many oil-producing plants grow develop. In this context, aim present study was revise most relevant literature about properties...
The objective of the present study was to investigate influence environmental conditions on bacterial community composition in water, sediment and riparian soil during different water flow periods. For this purpose, samples three habitats (water, soil) were collected from five polluted sites one reference site along Suquía River high low pH, dissolved oxygen, conductivity temperature measured "in situ", with total organic carbon content, nitrate ammonia concentration being evaluated for all...
Intra- and intermolecular contacts in 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds are dominated by O–H⋯O bonds. When molecules face each other, the unusual O⋯O bonds can reinforce adjacent form centrosymmetric dimers.
