The waters after a hypercane could remain hot enough for weeks, allowing more hypercanes to form. A hypercane's clouds would reach 30 to 40 km (20 to 25 mi) into the stratosphere. Such an intense storm would also damage the Earth's ozone layer, potentially having devastating consequences for life on Earth.
Constituents of the colocynth fruit and leaves (Citrullus colocynthis) include cucurbitacins. [13] [14] [15] The 2-O-β-D-glucopyranosides of cucurbitacins K and L can be extracted with ethanol from fruits of Cucurbita pepo cv dayangua. [12] Pentanorcucurbitacins A and B can be extracted with methanol from the stems of Momordica charantia. [8]
The red pumpkin beetle (Aulacophora foveicollis) is a serious pest of cucurbits, especially the pumpkin, which it can defoliate. [78] Cucurbits are susceptible to diseases such as bacterial wilt ( Erwinia tracheiphila ), anthracnose ( Colletotrichum spp.), fusarium wilt ( Fusarium spp.), phytophthora blight ( Phytophthora spp. water molds ...
Then in 1995 a new theory claimed that a powerful mega-storm known as a hypercane caused the extinction. The hypercane allegedly reaches 20 miles into the stratosphere and has wind speeds of up to 500 miles per hour. 3-D computer graphics will reveal how this storm could have brought down nearly all life on the planet. One of six episodes about ...
[16] [17] A 1989 study on the origins and development of C. pepo suggested that the original wild specimen was a small round fruit and that the modern pumpkin is its direct descendant. This investigation proposed that the crookneck, ornamental gourd, and scallop are early variants, and that the acorn is a cross between the scallop and pumpkin. [8]
Starbucks’ beloved pumpkin spice latte is back, but research shows the flavor that defined the early 2000s is on the decline, as consumer interest in the seasonal taste—and scented products ...
Fallen leaves/leaf litter have negligible protein-content and are of no extractive value. [6] Plants belonging to the Fabaceae family such as clover, peas and legumes have also been prime candidates for LPC production. [7] While most plants have a mean leaf protein content of 4 to 6% w/v.
