Full textAbstract:
The characteristics of the growth and development of medicinal and essential oil plants in mono and compacted crops in open ground were studied. Compacted cropping involves the joint cultivation of two (binary) or more crops in one field. Compared to monospecies crops, this method effectively solves the problems of increasing productivity and plant resistance to stress. Purpose of the work: to establish the allelopathic effect of medicinal and essential oil plants in dense sowing. The experimental methodology included the joint cultivation in open ground of medicinal main crops - spearmint (Menthaspicata L.), lemon balm (Melissaofficinalis L.), garden strawberry (Fragariachiloensis L.), and calendula officinalis (Calendulaofficinalis L.) were chosen as complementary crops.), dill (Anethumgraveolens L.). Compacted crops significantly reduce the intensity of transpiration and stomatal conductivity of the main crops. The intensity of photosynthesis largely depends on the species characteristics of the plants, so strawberry plants in binary crops increased photosynthetic activity, while mint and lemon balm on the contrary, they increased the intensity of photosynthesis during monospecies cultivation. According to the results of the studies, the inhibitory effect of calendula officinalis plants in binary crops with lemon balm, spearmint, and garden strawberries was established. At the same time, the use of dill in binary crops increases the yield of spearmint and lemon balm.

The article provides a historical overview of the formation and development of the essential oil industry. The main attention is paid to the history of scientific research of essential oil and medicinal plants. Our ancestors may have instinctively selected certain herbs for healing, just as sick animals today seek out plants they wouldn't normally eat. Based on an analysis of the current state, the need has been determined and the priority tasks have been formed for a full-scale revival of essential oil production in the Russian Federation.The problem tatement: in the republics of the former USSR, a number of essential oil plants were cultivated: coriander, lavender, essential oil rose, sage and others. In the 1970-80s the area of cultivation of essential oil plants exceeded 200 thousand hectares. At the same time, the demand for essential oils and other essential oil products was not fully satisfied. With the collapse of the USSR, the essential oil industry declined. The growing areas for most of the essential oil crops ended up on the territory of the newly formed independent states. The cultivation and processing of essential oils in Russia decreased significantly.The goal of the research is substantiation and acquisition of knowledge about the history of emergence and development of essential oil plants, herbal medicine, active substances as a tool for developing a common problem and combining the scientific, industrial and innovative potential of all interested parties.The research methods used are source study, historical-typological and biographical methods. The research results: the opportunity to gain new knowledge about the history of the origin and distribution of essential oil plants, and the creation of a huge food base for animals and people.

Essential oil crops and their essential oils are widely used in perfumery, cosmetic and food industries, traditional and folk medicine. The most important qualitative characteristic of essential oil crops is the content, component and enantiomeric composition of essential oils. Basil (Ocimum basilicum L. and Ocimum tenuiflorum L.) and hyssop (Hyssopus officinalis L.) belong to the promising essential oil crops for cultivation in the soil and climatic conditions of the Republic of Belarus. In the Belarusian State Agricultural Academy has created a number of varieties of essential oil crops, including 3 varieties of basil Ocimum basilicum L., 1 variety of basil Ocimum tenuiflorum L.) and 1 variety of hyssop Hyssopus officinalis L. The new varieties of basil and hyssop are characterized by a complex of morphometric, morphological and phenological sings.In the studies of the Belarusian State Agricultural Academy and the Belarusian State Technological University, the yield and content of essential oils of new zoned varieties of basil and common hyssop were analyzed. Using the method of enantioselective gas chromatography, the component and enantiomeric composition of essential oils of the studied varieties was determined. As a result of the research, it was determined that each variety has its own characteristic component and enantiomeric composition of essential oils. The studied varieties of basil and common hyssop contained up to 20 and 18 different components of essential oils respectively. The features of the component and enantiomeric composition of essential oils allow identifying the already created varieties of essential oil crops, as well as carrying out their selection to create varieties with certain properties.

Full textAbstract:
This work is devoted to the analysis of the most common issues faced by manufacturers of medicinal and essential oil raw materials — the market, the availability and availability of wild raw materials, agro-ecological conditions, the amount of manual labor, its cost, investments in quality seeds and equipment, post-harvest processing and the overall profitability of production. Cultivation of medicinal, essential oil and aromatic plants today is not only a promising alternative to the collection of wild raw materials, which allows preserving the natural biodiversity of plants with medicinal properties, including those species that have a protective status, but is also a powerful branch of the economy that provides high quality raw materials for the pharmaceutical, cosmetic and food industries. As a rule, medicinal and essential oil plants are considered by agricultural producers as secondary crops, as their cultivation is associated with certain problems. These problems are common to both small and powerful agricultural enterprises, both in Ukraine and abroad. They are related to both technological aspects of growing and plant identification, as well as market fluctuations and product prices. Consumers of medicinal and essential oil raw materials increasingly prefer cultivated products, because under such conditions it is easier to predict yield and ensure quality compared to wild-grown raw materials. During cultivation, false identification and unintentional falsification of raw materials are almost excluded, and the use of improved methods of cultivation and the use of modern varieties allows planning the harvest and costs. The profitability of growing medicinal and essential oil crops competes with traditional field crops, which have highly specialized equipment, a significant list of zoned varieties and hybrids, standard procedures for applying fertilizers and protective means, etc. In contrast to the cultivation of traditional crops, in order to ensure the profitability of the production of medicinal and essential oil raw materials, it is necessary to use methods with low production costs in order to be competitive on the international market and with the production of raw materials from natural groups. The work uses generalized material, both from our own many years of scientific and practical experience in the cultivation of medicinal and essential oil raw materials, as well as the experience of scientists and practitioners of foreign countries. On the example of the experience of foreign countries and domestic researchers and producers, the authors sought to prove that the cultivation of agricultural crops for obtaining essential oil and medicinal raw materials is a profitable business and can be considered as a variant of niche crops, be an attractive option for small farms and family farms. Within the scope of this review, it is impossible to consider all the problematic issues of the widespread introduction of medicinal and essential oil crops into the practice of agricultural production, since many more problems need to be solved, which can be the subject of future experiments and research.

Full textAbstract:
An experimental steam distillation unit has been designed, built, and tested for the extraction of essential oils from peppermint and spearmint. The unit, using a 130-gal (510-liter) distillation tank, is intermediate in size between laboratory-scale extractors and commercial-sized distilleries, yet provides oil in sufficient quantity for industrial evaluation. The entire apparatus-a diesel-fuel-fired boiler, extraction vessel, condenser, and oil collector-is trailer-mounted, making it transportable to commercial farms or research stations. Percentage yields of oil per dry weight from the unit were slightly less than from laboratory hydrodistillations, but oil quality and terpene composition were similar.

Full textAbstract:
This review covers aspects of putting essential oil compounds to use either as allelochemicals that manipulate the host selection process of Thysanopteran pest species or as botanical insecticides that kill these pests. Thysanoptera (thrips) make an especially interesting case study in this field, because their increasing economic impact puts some urgency on the development of novel control strategies, especially strategies that incorporate natural compounds. Known facts about the host selection behaviour of thrips are briefly summarized, and methods for the evaluation of thrips responses to volatile and non-volatile plant compounds are outlined. Recent results on the search for attractive and repellent volatiles and for feeding and/or oviposition deterrent essential oil compounds are listed in detail and their potential for use in control strategies against thrips pests is discussed. An overview of plant essential oils used either for insecticidal spraying treatments of crops or for fumigation of crops in greenhouses or fumigation chambers completes the picture of bioactivities. Finally, an outlook on the perspectives for future control strategies against thrips pests is given, including thoughts on the direction of further research needed to fully evaluate the thrips control potential of plant essential oils.

Effects of different weed control practices on soil quality in mediterranean crops
This research approaches the question of weed control sustainability, from the point of view of soil quality maintenance and enhancing.
A big choice of practices and products for weed control are available nowadays, but the actual definition of "sustainable practice" not always considers soil fertility. Soil processes timescale is wider than the productive, commercial and legislative ones. Also the definition of survey protocols is a process slower than the evolution of weed control methods.
The faster reaction in the soil ecosystem after an external pressure is given by the organisms living in it, and the microbial community is finally the most effective agent in nutrient recycling processes.
In this investigation, the same soil analysis protocol was applied on soil samples exposed to different weed management and control methods. Using soil quality indexes and bioindicators, soil properties variations after the different weed control treatments were compared. In particular soil carbon pool and how microbial community recycles was surveyed. A standard protocol to both find variations in long-term soil quality and survey the short-term impact of weed control practices on soil biological processes was defined.
Weed management practices can interact with the nutrients recycling processes performed by the microorganisms living in the soil. These processes have a central role in maintaining soil fertility, one of the most important resources for agriculture.
Three weed management practices were compared: the use of synthetic (oxyfluorfen) or natural (essential oils and aqueous extracts) herbicides and two mechanical methods (tillage and mulching).
Soil fertility was monitored measuring soil physical-chemical values and elaborating soil quality indexes and bioindicators.<br>Efectos de diferentes prácticas de control de arvenses sobre la calidad del suelo en cultivos mediterráneos
Esta investigación aborda la cuestión de la sostenibilidad del control de las plantas arvenses, desde el punto de vista del mantenimiento y mejora de la calidad del suelo.
Una gran variedad de prácticas y productos para el control de las arvenses están disponibles hoy en día, pero la definición real de "práctica sostenible" no siempre considera la fertilidad del suelo. La escala de tiempo de los procesos del suelo es más amplia que los procesos productivos, comerciales y legislativos. También la definición de protocolos para la investigación es un proceso más lento que la evolución comercial de los métodos de control de malas hierbas.
La reacción más rápida en el ecosistema del suelo después de una presión externa es dada por los organismos que viven en ella, y la comunidad microbiana es el agente más eficaz en los procesos de reciclaje de nutrientes.
En esta investigación se aplicó el mismo protocolo de análisis de suelo en muestras de suelo expuestas a diferentes métodos de manejo y control de arvenses. Utilizando índices de calidad del suelo y bioindicadores, se compararon las variaciones de propiedades del suelo después de los diferentes tratamientos de control de arvenses. En particular se estudiaron la reserva de carbono en el suelo y la forma en que la comunidad microbiana recicla. Se definió un protocolo estándar para encontrar variaciones en la calidad del suelo a largo plazo y para analizar el impacto a corto plazo de las prácticas de control de arvenses en los procesos biológicos del suelo.
Las prácticas de manejo de malas hierbas pueden interactuar con los procesos de reciclaje de nutrientes realizados por los microorganismos que viven en el suelo. Estos procesos tienen un papel central en el mantenimiento de la fertilidad del suelo, uno de los recursos más importantes para la agricultura.

En aquesta investigació es va aplicar el mateix protocol d'anàlisi de sòl en mostres de sòl exposades a diferents mètodes de maneig i control d'arvenses. Utilitzant índexs de qualitat del sòl i bioindicadors, es van comparar les variacions de propietats del sòl després dels diferents tractaments de control d'arvenses. En particular es van estudiar la reserva de carboni en el sòl i la forma en què la comunitat microbiana el recicla. Es va definir un protocol estàndard per trobar variacions en la qualitat del sòl a llarg termini i per analitzar l'impacte a curt termini de les pràctiques de control d'arvenses en els processos biològics del sòl.
Les pràctiques de maneig de males herbes poden interactuar amb els processos de reciclatge de nutrients realitzats pels microorganismes que viuen a terra. Aquests processos tenen un paper central en el manteniment de la fertilitat del sòl, un dels recursos més importants per a l'agricultura.

Full textAbstract:
Foeniculum vulgare Mill., (fennel), is grown commercially in Tasmania as an essential oil crop. Although oil is produced throughout the plant, approximately 95% is located in the fruits and fruit set directly influences oil yield. In Tasmania commercially grown fennel frequently has a percentage fruit set less than 50%. Research was undertaken into factors influencing fruit set, with the objective of improving fruit set, oil yield and economic returns to growers.
The project began with an examination of flower morphology and physiology. Particular importance was placed on the fact that fennel is protandrous and therefore self-incompatible through the timing of pollen production and stigma receptivity. A field trial demonstrated that at high planting densities, fennel produces fewer higher order umbels. This reduces the time span of pollen production and reduces the quantity of pollen available for pollination of the flowers developing later in the season. The work incorporated a study of pollen viability and appeared to show that although pollen viability of glasshouse grown plants is often poor, the problem is not carried over into the field.
A field trial involving the application of exogenous hormone gave rise to the hypothesis that competition within the fennel canopy causes poor fruit set. This competition could be for a number of growth factors including nutrients or carbon dioxide. The two factors studied in more detail were light intensity and water stress.
Trials suggested fennel to be an obligate heliophyte. It has an open canopy as an adaptation to avoid the absorption of light in excess of that which can be utilised in photosynthesis. In the Tasmanian environment this feature is beneficial in allowing penetration of light through the canopy and prevents shading of the lower umbels. However, it makes fennel inefficient with respect to light absorption and thus possibly makes light a limiting factor.
Initial experiments on the effect of water stress in fennel showed the stomata to react slowly to decreasing water availability. They remained open despite the plant wilting. Further investigation showed fennel to have a root system capable of tapping water at depth. Fennel is thought to be a phreatophyte. Fennel plants showed the ability to adjust to cycles of decreasing water potential and after a few cycles of water stress, they no longer wilted. Attempts were made to test the theory ttiat the plant adapted to water stress by increasing its osmotic potential but the methods used were inconclusive.

Full textAbstract:
In 1806, the Marquess and Marchioness of Stafford opened a gallery at Cleveland House, London, to display their internationally-renowned collection of Old Master paintings to the public.A ticket to the gallery’s Wednesday afternoon openings was a sought-after prize, granting access to the collection and the house’s dazzling interior in the company of artists, celebrities, and Britain’s elite. This book explores the gallery's interior through the lens of its abundant material culture, including paintings in gilded frames, furniture, silver oil lamps, flower arrangements, and the numerous printed catalogues and guidebooks that made the gallery visible to those who might never cross its threshold. Through detailed analysis of these objects and a wide range of other visual, material, textual and archival sources, the book presents the gallery at Cleveland House as a methodological case study on how the display of art in the 19th century was shaped by notions about public and private space, domesticity, and the role art galleries played in the formation of national culture. In doing so, the book also explains how and why magnificent private galleries and the artworks and objects they contained gripped the public imagination during a critical period of political and cultural transformation during and after the Napoleonic Wars. Combining historical, cultural and material analysis, the book will make essential reading for researchers in British art in the Regency period, museum studies, collecting studies, social history, and the histories of interior decoration and design in the 18th and 19th centuries.

Abstract Most oils (defined as long-chain fatty acids, normally in triglyceride form) derived from plants are used in pharmaceutical products primarily for their physical properties (Reynolds 1989). For instance, olive oil is used as a demulcent (to protect and soothe inflamed mouth tissue), as a mild laxative, as a component in emollient ointments and liniments, and as a lubricant; castor oil is a well-known ingredient of emollient creams, sesame oil is used as a solvent for steroids; and peanut oil is used as a mild enema and for softening ear wax. In addition, sunflower oil and soybean oil are used to provide energy and essential fatty acids for parenteral (e.g. intravenous) nutrition and some oils, such as castor oil, are used for making soaps and detergents which have medical uses. There is also a product (Lipiodol) based on a mixture of iodine with the ethyl esters of poppy seed oil which is used as a contrast medium for the visualization of the lymphatic system and nasal and other sinuses in radiography.

Medicinal herbs and their essential oils (EOs) are of commercial andindustrial importance with diverse uses as forage and fiber crops, in food, cosmetics,perfumery and chemical industries, and in traditional medicine due to theirphytochemical constituents and bioactivities. This chapter was aimed at documentingthe therapeutic properties of major secondary metabolites in EOs extracted from sixselected economically important medicinal herbs (Achillea millefolium L., Melissaofficinalis L., Origanum majorana L., Pelargonium graveolens L'Hér. Rosmarinusofficinalis L. and Thymus vulgaris L.). Forty-five compounds (mainly monoterpenes)were recorded as major compounds of the six medicinal herbs. The compounds possessvarying biological activities, which include antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory,antioxidant and cytotoxicity properties. Other activities reported were antinociceptive,neuroprotective effects, acetylcholinesterase inhibition, anti-ulcerogenic, DNAprotection, glutathione S-transferase activity, chemoprotective, anti-depressant andsedative effects. The compounds showed potential to be used as alternative agents asdrugs, cosmetic ingredients and food additives. Though some scientific evidence hasconfirmed the use of these herbs in various industries, much work still needs to be doneto comprehend the therapeutic application of their EOs and phytoconstituents to benefitfrom their full potential.

During the study, we found that 2019 was favourable for pests’ growth, development and spread. Cicadellidae and Aphidoidea were the most harmful and numerous ones that damaged essential oil plants. Salvia sclarea was the most susceptible among the studied plants. We also found that the number of pathogens did not exceed the economic injury level thanks to timely monitoring and weed control methods.

The paper considers the prospects for using Monarda didyma L. essential oil in the biologization of agricultural production. In the face of modern environmental challenges, agricultural enterprises are increasingly turning to nature-based technologies, in particular, the use of biological plant protection products and environmentally friendly cultivation methods. Monarda didyma L. essential oil demonstrates multifunctional properties, including antimicrobial, fungicidal and allelopathic activity, which makes it a promising tool for combating pathogenic microorganisms, in particular fungi and bacteria that affect agricultural crops. During research, its ability to reduce the number of microscopic fungi in the soil was revealed, which indicates its potential as a natural regulator of phytosanitary conditions. In addition, Monarda didyma L. essential oil has significant antibacterial activity, exceeding the standards of some pharmacopoeial plants. The article emphasizes the possibilities of integrating this plant into environmentally friendly agricultural production systems, which contributes to reducing the use of chemical pesticides and herbicides and supporting the sustainable development of agroecosystems

Full textAbstract:
The University of Minnesota Forever Green Initiative (FGI ) is an agricultural innovation platform developing viable, profitable perennial and winter annual crops and cropping systems that will provide “continuous living cover†on the Upper Midwestern agricultural landscape, which can likely improve climate mitigation and adaptation as well as provide other environmental co-benefits relative to conventional summer annual grain systems. Transdisciplinary FGI crop development research teams span genomics, plant breeding, agronomy, natural resource sciences, food science, social sciences, economics, and commercialization. Several of these crops include "cash cover crop" winter oilseeds such as winter camelina and pennycress, and perennial oilseeds such as perennial flax and silphium, which have diverse opportunities in oil markets. While developing the basic and applied science of these crops and cropping systems, FGI is supporting the commercialization, adoption, and scaling of FGI crops in partnership with researchers, growers, industry, policymakers, and communities. For example, early commercial winter camelina production (relay-cropping) and market interest is developing spanning fuel, feed, biopolymers, and food, largely in response to corporate commitments and consumer demand for sustainability, GHG reduction, climate change mitigation and adaptation, and supply chain resilience. Industry has an essential role to play in developing and scaling FGI crops by supporting basic research, contributing in-house expertise and facilities, and creating the market pull needed to move novel continuous living cover crops and cropping systems out onto the landscape and into the market.

Cole, Rachel, Eric Colombo, Austin Angelotti, and Martha Belury. "The Effects of Dietary Soybean Oil on Blood Fatty Acids and Body Weight in Overweight and Obese Adults: Protocol for a Crossover Design Pilot Study." In 2022 AOCS Annual Meeting & Expo. American Oil Chemists' Society (AOCS), 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.21748/xjuq4435.
Full textAbstract:
Dietary intake of linoleic acid (LA; 18:2n6), an essential fatty acid, is inversely correlated with the risk of type 2 diabetes in adults. LA blood biomarkers are negatively associated with diabetes and markers of insulin resistance and inflammation. In the US, changes in oil seed crops have reduced the amount of LA in edible oils like soybean, sunflower and safflower, which could lead to many adults in the US consuming inadequate amounts of LA. The objective of the Dietary Oils to Sustain Energy (DOSE) study is to determine changes in blood levels of LA and body weight after daily consumption of foods made with a LA-rich soybean oil. In this 10-week randomized crossover design pilot study, 16 overweight or obese adults will consume 3 study foods per day made with 10g of soybean oil or 10g of palm oil (30g of oil per day) for 4 weeks with a 2-week washout period between. A registered dietitian will help participants incorporate the study foods into their habitual diets with the goal of maintaining body weight which will be measured every two weeks. Fasting blood samples will be collected for fatty acid analysis of plasma, erythrocyte and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) as well as analysis of markers of inflammation and glycemia. Study food consumption will be measured through self-report and returned uneaten study foods. 24-hour recalls will be used to measure dietary intake and physical activity. We hypothesize that consumption of the study foods made with the LA-rich soybean oil will increase LA levels in the plasma, erythrocytes and PBMC after 4 weeks. We expect that participants will be able to maintain their body weight during the study. The consumption of food products made with a LA-rich oil will allow adults to easily increase their intake of LA.

Project Objectives 1. Develop and amplify two interspecific populations (annual and perennial teosintes x elite maize inbred) as the basis for genetic analysis of grain quality. 2. Identify quantitative trait loci (QTLs) from teosinte that improve oil, protein, and essential amino acid composition of maize grain. 3. Develop near isogenic lines (NILs) to quantify QTL contributions to grain quality and as a resource for future breeding and gene cloning efforts. 4. Analyze the contribution of these QTLs to hybrid performance in both the US and Israel. 5. Measure the yield potential of improved grain quality hybrids. (NOTE: Yield potential could not be evaluated due to environmentally-caused failure of the breeding nursery where seed was produced for this evaluation.) Background: Maize is a significant agricultural commodity worldwide. As an open pollinated crop, variation within the species is large and, in most cases, sufficient to supply the demand for modem varieties and for new environments. In recent years there is a growing demand for maize varieties with special quality attributes. While domesticated sources of genetic variation for high oil and protein content are limited, useful alleles for these traits may remain in maize's wild relative, teosinte. We utilized advanced backcross (AB) analysis to search for QTLs contributing to oil and protein content from two teosinte accessions: Zea mays ssp. mexicana Race Chalco, an annual teosinte (referred to as Chalco), and Z diploperennis Race San Miguel, a perennial teosinte (referred to as Diplo). Major Conclusions and Achievements Two NILs targeting a Diplo introgression in bin 1.04 showed a significant increase in oil content in homozygous sib-pollinated seed when compared to sibbed seed of their counterpart non-introgressed controls. These BC4S2 NILs, referred to as D-RD29 and D-RD30, carry the Diplo allele in bin 1.04 and the introgression extends partially into bins 1.03 and 1.05. These NILs remain heterozygous in bins 4.01 and 8.02, but otherwise are homozygous for the recurrent parent (RD6502) alleles. NILs were developed also for the Chalco introgression in bin 1.04 but these do not show any improvement in oil content, suggesting that the Chalco alleles differ from the Diplo alleles in this region. Testcross Fl seed and sibbed grain from these Fl plants did not show any effect on oil content from this introgression, suggesting that it would need to be present in both parents of a maize hybrid to have an effect on oil content. Implications, both Scientific and Agricultural The Diplo region identified increases oil content by 12.5% (from 4.8% to 5.4% oil in the seed). Although this absolute difference is not large in agronomic terms, this locus could provide additive increases to oil content in combination with other maize-derived loci for high oil. To our knowledge, this is the first confirmed report of a QTL from teosinte for improved grain oil content in maize. It suggests that further research on grain quality alleles from maize wild relatives would be of both scientific and agricultural interest.

Full textAbstract:
NordGen, the Nordic Genetic Resource Center, is an organization dedicated to safeguarding the genetic resources of the Nordic region, with a focus on conservation and sustainable use in agriculture. NordGen manages a genebank that stores approximately 33,000 accessions (seed samples) from nearly 450 different plant species, including a notable collection of 436 flax accessions. Flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) has been an essential crop for centuries, with uses ranging from textiles to oil and industrial fibers. In the Nordic region, flax historically played a key role in linen production. However, the rise of industrialization, synthetic fibers, and cheaper cotton led to a decline in flax farming. Today, renewed interest in flax is driven by its potential for sustainable agriculture and eco-friendly textile production. NordGen’s flax collection represents a valuable and diverse genetic resource that can contribute to the revival of flax cultivation. This report presents an overview of the evaluation and characterization of 436 flax accessions conducted in southern Sweden in 2024. The aim is to support the sustainable use and revival of flax cultivation in the Nordic region.

Full textAbstract:
This study examines the intricate trade interdependencies between Canada and the United States, highlighting how aggregate export–import figures can mask deeper economic realities. Approximately three-quarters of Canadian merchandise exports head to the United States each year, contributing to a bilateral merchandise trade surplus for Canada in the range of 100 to 170 billion Canadian dollars. Yet, when energy products are excluded, the United States shows a small surplus with Canada, illustrating how both sides benefit from specialized cross-border value chains. Analyses of selected sectors demonstrate that a hypothetical 25 percent tariff on Canadian goods would translate into lost export revenue for Canada, but it would also raise production costs for many U.S. manufacturers dependent on Canadian imports. Despite Canada’s smaller economy, the potential for economic harm runs in both directions. Automakers in Michigan and Ohio, for instance, rely on numerous Canadian inputs that cross the border multiple times, and integrated refiners on the Gulf Coast often process crude oil from Alberta. Inelastic supply chains amplify these vulnerabilities: short-run elasticity estimates indicate that energy flows might see only a 2 percent immediate reduction under a 10 percent tariff, yet over a longer horizon, both sides risk further setbacks if either country shifts to alternative markets. On both sides, adjustments to cross-border barriers are neither simple nor immediate because specialized capital investments and elaborate production networks cannot be realigned without significant cost. These findings underscore the limitations of viewing trade solely through the lens of net balances. They suggest that resilience policies, dispute-resolution frameworks, and incremental diversification strategies are integral to mitigating risk. In a climate where protectionist rhetoric can swiftly translate into new barriers, maintaining stable, predictable conditions for trade in both Canada and the United States is essential to preserving the mutual gains flowing from decades of close economic integration.

Jordan, Ramon L., Abed Gera, Hei-Ti Hsu, Andre Franck, and Gad Loebenstein. Detection and Diagnosis of Virus Diseases of Pelargonium. United States Department of Agriculture, 1994. http://dx.doi.org/10.32747/1994.7568793.bard.
Full textAbstract:
Pelargonium (Geranium) is the number one pot plant in many areas of the United States and Europe. Israel and the U.S. send to Europe rooted cuttings, foundation stocks and finished plants to supply a certain share of the market. Geraniums are propagated mainly vegetatively from cuttings. Consequently, viral diseases have been and remain a major threat to the production and quality of the crop. Among the viruses isolated from naturally infected geraniums, 11 are not specific to Pelargonium and occur in other crops while 6 other viruses seem to be limited to geranium. However, several of these viruses are not sufficiently characterized to conclude that they are distinct agents and their nomenclature and taxonomy are confusing. The ability to separate, distinguish and detect the different viruses in geranium will overcome obstacles te developing effective detection and certification schemes. Our focus was to further characterize some of these viruses and develop better methods for their detection and control. These viruses include: isolates of pelargonium line pattern virus (PLPV), pelargonium ringspot virus (PelRSV), pelargonium flower break virus (PFBV), pelargonium leaf curl (PLCV), and tomato ringspot virus (TomRSV). Twelve hybridoma cell lines secreting monoclonal antibodies specific to a geranium isolate of TomRSV were produced. These antibodies are currently being characterized and will be tested for the ability to detect TomRSV in infected geraniums. The biological, biochemical and serological properties of four isometric viruses - PLPV, PelRSV, and PFBV (and a PelRSV-like isolate from Italy called GR57) isolated from geraniums exhibiting line and ring pattern or flower break symptoms - and an isolate ol elderbeny latent virus (ELV; which the literature indicates is the same as PelRSV) have been determined Cloned cDNA copies of the genomic RNAs of these viruses were sequenced and the sizes and locations of predicted viral proteins deduced. A portion of the putative replicase genes was also sequenced from cloned RT-PCR fragments. We have shown that, when compared to the published biochemical and serological properties, and sequences and genome organizations of other small isometric plant viruses, all of these viruses should each be considered new, distinct members of the Carmovirus group of the family Tombusviridae. Hybridization assays using recombinant DNA probes also demonstrated that PLPV, PelRSV, and ELV produce only one subgenomic RNA in infected plants. This unusual property of the gene expression of these three viruses suggests that they are unique among the Carmoviruses. The development of new technologies for the detection of these viruses in geranium was also demonstrated. Hybridization probes developed to PFBV (radioactively-labeled cRNA riboprobes) and to PLPV (non-radioactive digoxigenin-labeled cDNAs) were generally shown to be no more sensitive for the detection of virus in infected plants than the standard ELISA serology-based assays. However, a reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction assay was shown to be over 1000 times more sensitive in detecting PFBV in leaf extracts of infected geranium than was ELISA. This research has lead to a better understanding of the identity of the viruses infecting pelargonium and to the development of new tools that can be used in an improved scheme of providing virus-indexed pelargonium plants. The sequence information, and the serological and cloned DNA probes generated from this work, will allow the application of these new tools for virus detection, which will be useful in domestic and international indexing programs which are essential for the production of virus-free germplasm both for domestic markets and the international exchange of plant material.

Wozniakowska, P., D. W. Eaton, C. Deblonde, A. Mort, and O. H. Ardakani. Identification of regional structural corridors in the Montney play using trend surface analysis combined with geophysical imaging, British Columbia and Alberta. Natural Resources Canada/CMSS/Information Management, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.4095/328850.
Full textAbstract:
The Western Canada Sedimentary Basin (WCSB) is a mature oil and gas basin with an extraordinary endowment of publicly accessible data. It contains structural elements of varying age, expressed as folding, faulting, and fracturing, which provide a record of tectonic activity during basin evolution. Knowledge of the structural architecture of the basin is crucial to understand its tectonic evolution; it also provides essential input for a range of geoscientific studies, including hydrogeology, geomechanics, and seismic risk analysis. This study focuses on an area defined by the subsurface extent of the Triassic Montney Formation, a region of the WCSB straddling the border between Alberta and British Columbia, and covering an area of approximately 130,000 km2. In terms of regional structural elements, this area is roughly bisected by the east-west trending Dawson Creek Graben Complex (DCGC), which initially formed in the Late Carboniferous, and is bordered to the southwest by the Late Cretaceous - Paleocene Rocky Mountain thrust and fold belt (TFB). The structural geology of this region has been extensively studied, but structural elements compiled from previous studies exhibit inconsistencies arising from distinct subregions of investigation in previous studies, differences in the interpreted locations of faults, and inconsistent terminology. Moreover, in cases where faults are mapped based on unpublished proprietary data, many existing interpretations suffer from a lack of reproducibility. In this study, publicly accessible data - formation tops derived from well logs, LITHOPROBE seismic profiles and regional potential-field grids, are used to delineate regional structural elements. Where seismic profiles cross key structural features, these features are generally expressed as multi-stranded or en echelon faults and structurally-linked folds, rather than discrete faults. Furthermore, even in areas of relatively tight well control, individual fault structures cannot be discerned in a robust manner, because the spatial sampling is insufficient to resolve fault strands. We have therefore adopted a structural-corridor approach, where structural corridors are defined as laterally continuous trends, identified using geological trend surface analysis supported by geophysical data, that contain co-genetic faults and folds. Such structural trends have been documented in laboratory models of basement-involved faults and some types of structural corridors have been described as flower structures. The distinction between discrete faults and structural corridors is particularly important for induced seismicity risk analysis, as the hazard posed by a single large structure differs from the hazard presented by a corridor of smaller pre-existing faults. We have implemented a workflow that uses trend surface analysis based on formation tops, with extensive quality control, combined with validation using available geophysical data. Seven formations are considered, from the Late Cretaceous Basal Fish Scale Zone (BFSZ) to the Wabamun Group. This approach helped to resolve the problem of limited spatial extent of available seismic data and provided a broader spatial coverage, enabling the investigation of structural trends throughout the entirety of the Montney play. In total, we identified 34 major structural corridors and number of smaller-scale structures, for which a GIS shapefile is included as a digital supplement to facilitate use of these features in other studies. Our study also outlines two buried regional foreland lobes of the Rocky Mountain TFB, both north and south of the DCGC.
