PathogenDx DetectX Combined Demonstrates Equivalent Performance in Comparison to Four AOAC Certified Methods for the Detection of Aspergillus Species, Salmonella Species, and STEC in Dried Hemp Flower.

Background: The PathogenDx DetectX Combined method is a certified Performance Tested MethodSM (012201) that is enrichment-free and utilizes a DNA microarray-based end point PCR method for the simultaneous detection of Aspergillus (A. flavus, A. fumigatus, A.

Legacies of precipitation influence primary production in Panicum virgatum.

Precipitation is a key driver of primary production worldwide, but primary production does not always track year-to-year variation in precipitation linearly. Instead, plant responses to changes in precipitation may exhibit time lags, or legacies of past precipitation. Legacies can be driven by multiple mechanisms, including persistent changes in plant physiological and morphological traits and changes to the physical environment, such as plant access to soil water.
