The aim of the study was the determination of daily servings consumption and evaluation of frequency consumption of fruit and vegetables among university and college students. The study was carried out on the group of 180 students and was assessed by means of food frequency questionnaire. Students mostly ate from 1 to 2 servings of vegetables and 2 servings of fruit per day. The most commonly consumed vegetables were: tomatoes, carrots and onions. The most commonly consumed fruits were: apples, bananas, lemons and tangerines. Consumption of both vegetables and fruits was to low to cover daily recommendations.

Complex traits influenced by multiple genes pose challenges for marker-assisted selection (MAS) in breeding. Genomic selection (GS) is a promising strategy for achieving higher genetic gains in quantitative traits by stacking favorable alleles into elite cultivars. Resistance to Fusarium oxysporum f.

Nitrification inhibitors (NIs) are critical to reduce nitrogen (N) leaching losses. However, the efficacy of different NIs can be highly variable across soils and crop types, and a deeper understanding of the mechanistic basis of this efficiency variation, especially in purple soil under vegetable production, is lacking. To enrich this knowledge gap, the impact of different NIs amendment (3,4-dimethylpyrazole phosphate, DMPP; dicyandiamide, DCD; nitrapyrin, NP) on nitrification and the microbial mechanistic basis of controlling nitrate (NO-N) leaching of vegetable purple soil was explored in southwest China.
