The ultimate effect is on plant growth as well as development and reduced yield and quality. Breeding for heat stress tolerance can be mitigated by breeding plant varieties that have improved levels of thermo-tolerance using different conventional or advanced genetic tools. Marker assisted selection techniques for breeding are highly useful.
Plants sprayed with 2,4-D may accumulate lethal doses of nitrates. [25] 'The troublesome weed' – hence an excellent source of bioenergy. The troublesome weed' – hence an excellent source of bioenergy.
Evaporative cooling chambers (ECCs), also known as "zero energy cool chambers" (ZECCs), are a type of evaporative cooler, which are simple and inexpensive ways to keep vegetables fresh without the use of electricity. Evaporation of water from a surface removes heat, creating a cooling effect, which can improve vegetable storage shelf life.
The main purpose of the hybrid cultivar was high yield and year-round production of napa cabbage after 1960. [11] To enable year round production of napa cabbage, it has to be modified to tolerate high and low temperatures. Normally, sowing in the late summer and harvesting in late autumn can produce high quality vegetables.
4. Cauliflower. Cauliflower is a true superfood, partly thanks to all its antioxidants. It’s also really mild, which is one reason it’s among the most popular veggies year-round. This ...
Maize (Zea mays, Poaceae) is the most widely cultivated C 4 plant.[1]In botany, C 4 carbon fixation is one of three known methods of photosynthesis used by plants. C 4 plants increase their photosynthetic efficiency by reducing or suppressing photorespiration, which mainly occurs under low atmospheric CO 2 concentration, high light, high temperature, drought, and salinity.
Elements like heat, humidity, light, and air are the “main enemies of vitamin freshness,” says Blatner. “Keep them cool, dry, and out of the sun.” So, probably not in your medicine cabinet.
Knotweed can grow up to 30 cm per day, hence it is a fast-growing vegetable tolerant of poor quality soils. [14] Because knotweed is resistant to over-harvesting, it is more often foraged than cultivated as a vegetable. The plant can be eaten raw or cooked. [15] Ground-feeding songbirds and gamebirds also eat the seeds. [16]
