Most climate models predict a weakening of the North Atlantic thermohaline circulation for the 21st century when forced by increasing levels of greenhouse gas concentrations. The model spread, however, is rather large, even when the forcing scenario is identical, indicating a large uncertainty in the response to forcing. In order...
Indole-3-carbinol (I3C) and 3,3'-diindolylmethane (DIM), a primary I3C
derivative in vivo, are known chemopreventive agents available as dietary supplements.
I3C was found to suppress or enhance tumors in several animal models.
Chemoprotection is attributed to the ability of indoles to alter carcinogen metabolism
effectively blocking initiation. However, mechanisms for enhancement...
Cancellation of the registration of an effective bean mold fungicide, Ronilan, is slated to occur at the end of growing season in 2005. Finding equivalent alternatives by 2006 for use in snap bean is critical. The goal of the project is to continue evaluations of alternative fungicides for their effectiveness...
