Abstract:
... Lettuce is an important vegetable in horticulture, but information about the interactive effects of light and temperature on its photosynthetic characteristics was inadequate. This work investigated the effects of three temperatures (15/10 (T15), 23/18 (T23), and 30/23 °C (T30)) and five light treatments (100 (P100), 200 (P200), 350 (P350), 500 (P500), and 600 μmol·m⁻²·s⁻¹ (P600)) on the light–res ...

Abstract:
... A new eudesmane sesquiterpene, 12-acetoxy-1β,2α-dihydroxyeudesma-4(15),11(13)-diene (1), was isolated from Inula japonica. The chemical structure of compound 1 was elucidated by advanced spectroscopy techniques, such as ¹H, ¹³C NMR, HMBC, HSQC, COSY, and NOESY. The compound 1 presented phytotoxic effect on the growth of lettuce at 250 ppm. ...

Abstract:
... FLOCponics is an intensive integrated agri-aquaculture system that combines biofloc-based aquaculture with hydroponics. Since research on FLOCponics is in its early stage of development, and many aspects of this system still need to be explored, the objective of this study was to assess and discuss the sustainability of a FLOCponics system and compare it to stand-alone biofloc and hydroponic cultu ...
lettuce, etc ; Lactuca sativa; automation; extinction; microbiome; species richness; streams; Show all 7 Subjects
Abstract:
... Root endospheres house complex and diverse bacterial communities, of which many strains have not been cultivated yet by means of the currently available isolation techniques. The Prospector® (General Automation Lab Technologies, San Carlos, CA, USA), an automated and high‐throughput bacterial cultivation system, was applied to analyse the root endomicrobiome of lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.). By usin ...
lettuce, etc ; disease resistance; downy mildew; genomics; marker-assisted selection; Show all 5 Subjects
Abstract:
... KEY MESSAGE: GWAS identified 63 QTLs for resistance to downy mildew. Though QTLs were distributed across all chromosomes, the genomic regions frequently associated with resistance were located on chromosomes 4 and 5. Lettuce downy mildew is one of the most economically important diseases of cultivated lettuce worldwide. We have applied the genome-wide association mapping (GWAS) approach to detect ...

Abstract:
... A simpler visible colorimetric and less expensive syringe enzymatic filter-based assay (SEFA) utilizing proven anti-Salmonella DNA aptamers is described which is based on a similar previously published fluorometric version of SEFA with larger filter units. The colorimetric SEFA is applied to detection of Salmonella enterica on lettuce with detection limits of less than 1000 cfu per sample. The ass ...
lettuce, etc ; carotenoids; disease control; dithianon; dodine; horticulture; plant biochemistry; Show all 7 Subjects
Abstract:
... Fungicides applied singly are frequently used to ensure disease control in the cultivation of leafy vegetables. The behavior of fungicide mixtures and their impact on plant biochemical and antioxidant status was poorly investigated. The main goal of this study was to compare the impact of fluazinam, a separately applied fungicide, and its mixtures (dithianon+fluazinam, dodine+fluazinam) during dis ...
lettuce, etc ; automation; color; geometry; petioles; phenotype; photosynthesis; quantitative analysis; Show all 8 Subjects
Abstract:
... BACKGROUND: Classification and phenotype identification of lettuce leaves urgently require fine quantification of their multi-semantic traits. Different components of lettuce leaves undertake specific physiological functions and can be quantitatively described and interpreted using their observable properties. In particular, petiole and veins determine mechanical support and material transport per ...
lettuce, etc ; adsorption; cadmium; garlic; hydroponics; malondialdehyde; mercerization; oxidative stress; toxicity; Show all 9 Subjects
Abstract:
... One of the most harmful trace elements is cadmium (Cd) because of its persistence and high mobility. As Cd-contamination of soils increases worldwide, techniques to reduce the lettuce plant's Cd accumulation are required. The adverse effects of Cd can be reduced or eliminated using indigenous garlic peel (IGP) and, to a greater extent, mercerized garlic peel (MGP). In addition, the adsorption capa ...
lettuce, etc ; Lactuca sativa; environmental quality; gardens; lead; soil pollution; vinegars; Show all 7 Subjects
Abstract:
... Urban gardeners contribute to sustainable cities and often take great care to limit exposure to soil contaminants like lead (Pb). Although best management practices (BMPs) like mulching to reduce soil splash can limit crop contamination, they may not eliminate all contamination for leafy greens, which trap soil particles. How effective is washing at removing Pb contamination from leafy greens when ...
lettuce, etc ; earthworms; losses from soil; nitrogen; research; soil; urea; volatilization; Show all 8 Subjects
Abstract:
... Earthworm activities not only increase nitrogen (N) uptake by crops, but also lead to N losing to environment. Thus, the present study examined the transformation of ¹⁵N-labeled urea with and without earthworms (Metaphire guillelmi) in a soil-lettuce system. We evaluated lettuce ¹⁵N uptake, ¹⁵N losses including N₂O emission, NH₃ volatilization and leaching, as well as ¹⁵N remaining in soil. Result ...

Abstract:
... AIMS: We investigated the fate of Salmonella in lettuce seeds grown in a hydroponic system and the potentials of applying photodynamic inactivation (PDI) to enhance microbial safety of hydroponic farming systems. METHODS AND RESULTS: Lettuce was grown from Salmonella‐contaminated seeds, and rose bengal‐mediated PDI was applied. Without intervention, Salmonella could persist in plants and hydroponi ...

Abstract:
... This work developed a composite (Pe-FeLs) which loaded ferric lignin on polyethylene film (PE film) by chemical modification and physico-chemically characterized by Microscope, FESEM with elemental mapping analysis, and XRD. Microscope pictures showed that chemical modification did not destroy the appearance of PE film. The FESEM images of Pe-FeLs showed the well-distributed clusters could be clea ...

Abstract:
... The investigation was carried out to assess the effect of post-harvest dip treatment of melatonin (10, 100 and 1000 μmol L⁻¹) on shelf life and sensory qualities of minimally processed fresh cut lettuce, kept at 6±2ºC for 8 days. Melatonin treatment was found effective in maintaining freshness and sensory qualities of lettuce during storage. Browning was reduced by 45% with 44.10% higher visual qu ...
lettuce, etc ; Histosols; Lactuca sativa; cultivars; leaves; phosphorus; solar radiation; weeds; Florida; Show all 9 Subjects
Abstract:
... Most agricultural soils worldwide have limited availability of phosphorus (P); thus, crops require supplemental application of P fertilizers. Due to the economic and environmental concerns derived from the use of P fertilizers, identifying and breeding P-efficient lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) cultivars is imperative for the reduction of production costs and implementation of more sustainable practi ...
lettuce, etc ; electrical conductivity; horticultural crops; land; models; sustainable agriculture; total nitrogen; Spain; Show all 8 Subjects
Abstract:
... Agriculture practices developed since the middle of the last century have led to the degradation of different resources and made it necessary to promote agricultural models that are less aggressive towards nature. Sustainable agricultural growth requires a more efficient use of land. An experimental model was designed with four treatments in the Campo de Cartagena area (SE Spain): biosolarization ...
lettuce, etc ; comparative study; environment; persistent organic pollutants; plant growth; sorption; toxicity; transpiration; Show all 8 Subjects
Abstract:
... The organochlorine insecticide endosulfan has been classified as a persistent organic pollutant due to its long persistence and high toxicity, and banned in most countries. However, endosulfan residues are still detected in various environmental sites (even in non-agricultural areas) and have a likelihood to return to agricultural soils through various routes. In this study, time-dependent uptake ...

Abstract:
... Upon the European commission’s request in 2013, Denmark initiated a survey of the levels of chlorate and perchlorate in agriculture products from the Danish market over a period of 4 years from 2014 to 2017. The results of the survey were used to guide decision making with a view to setting maximum levels for intra-Union trade in 2013 and reviewing and updating the levels from 2020. The results of ...
