Disease relevance of Crops, Agricultural

• The bacterium Ralstonia solanacearum, which is distributed worldwide and causes lethal wilt in many agricultural crops, was shown to produce a potent L-fucose-binding lectin, R. solanacearum lectin, a small protein of 90 amino acids with a tandem repeat in its amino acid sequence [1].

High impact information on Crops, Agricultural

• Work in recent years has concentrated on dissecting tocopherol biosynthesis to engineer the pathway in agricultural crops [2].
• In this study, we have constructed a homology-based molecular model of JHE from the agricultural crop pest, Heliothis virescens [3].
• Methyl parathion (MP; o,o-dimethyl o-4-nitrophenyl phosphorothioate) is an organophosphorous pesticide used world wide to spray agricultural crops [4].
• Since agricultural crops contribute > 70% of human cadmium (Cd) intake, modification of crops to reduce accumulation of this pollutant metal during plant growth is desirable [5].
• Acephate is a commonly used organophosphate insecticide applied on agricultural crops and in residential communities [6].

Associations of Crops, Agricultural with chemical compounds

• Most to least sensitive plant species to NH3 are native vegetation > forests > agricultural crops [7].
• It eluted later than the 7 pyrethroids, and it was also found in other agricultural crops [8].
• Consequently, it is concluded that even if polyacrylamides were to contaminate agricultural crops and foods derived therefrom (which itself is an unproven suggestion), there is no evidence that the polymers would depolymerize on heating of the food to form acrylamide in any significant amount [9].
• Fate and metabolism of dimethyl sulfoxide in agricultural crops [10].
• A nitrate to ammonia ratio > 575 indicated inorganic fertilizer on agricultural crops; a ratio < 575 indicated nitrate from golf courses [11].

Gene context of Crops, Agricultural

• Comparative investigation of concentrations of major and trace elements in organic and conventional Danish agricultural crops. 1. Onions (Allium cepa Hysam) and peas (Pisum sativum ping pong) [12].
• The genetic consequences of radioactive contamination by the fallout to agricultural crops after the accident at the Chernobyl NPP in 1986 have been studied [13].
