Phytohormone Profile of in Response to Mycorrhizal Fungi, Aphids, and Gibberellic Acid.

Although gibberellic acid (GA) is widely used in agriculture, it is unclear whether exogenous GA makes aphid-infested, mycorrhizal plants more susceptible to herbivory. This study investigates the role of GA in modulating defenses in barrel medic plants () that are infested with pea aphids () and colonized by the beneficial symbiont . Mock- and -inoculated potted plants were grown in a topsoil: sand mix for 42 days and were treated with GA or solvent.

Survey of Meat Collected from Commercial Broiler Processing Plants Suggests Low Levels of Semicarbazide Can Be Created during Immersion Chilling.

Abstract: Semicarbazide (SEM) is routinely employed as an indicator for the use of nitrofurazone, a banned antimicrobial. The validity of SEM as a nitrofurazone marker has been scrutinized because of other possible sources of the compound. Nonetheless, a U.
