Transcriptomics and gene expression profiling enables the elucidation of the genetic response of an organism to various environmental cues. Transcriptomics enables the deciphering of differences between two closely related organisms to the same environment and in contrast, enables the elucidation of genetic responses of the same organism to different environmental...
Agriculture teachers, in comparison to other high school teachers, work in more varied and demanding work environments (Terry & Briers, 2010; Torres, Ulmer, & Aschenbrener, 2008).

Since ADN programs lead to professional employment with middle-class wages, they form an important...
The black grass bug genus Irbisia Reuter was revised. Over 18,000
specimens were examined and information concerning the biology, host
plant and distributional relationships of the species was compiled.
In addition to external characters, the male claspers and vesica, and
the female dorsal libiate plate of the bursa copulatrix and...
Numerous investigations have been made on the contribution of
butter cultures to the flavor of cultured cream butter, but production
of uniform cultured cream butter has not been possible in industry.
Therefore, it was desirable to investigate in detail the qualitative
and quantitative chemistry of the flavor of high quality...
