EFFECTS OF EXOGENOUS ETHANOL TREATMENT IN NUTRIENT SOLUTION ON GROWTH AND SECONDARY METABOLITE CONTENTS OF THREE HERB SPECIES IN AN INDOOR VERTICAL FARMING SYSTEM

This study aimed to explore the possibility of exogenous ethanol treatment as a technology to regulate the growth and the synthesis of secondary metabolites in herbaceous plants.After transplantation, sweet basil, Korean mint, and sweet wormwood were cultivated in a controlled vertical farming system and consistently exposed to exogenous ethanol at

Across species there is evidence that the quality of the early social environment can have a profound impact on neurobiology and behavior.In the present study we explore the effect of communal rearing conditions (3 dams with 3 litters per cage) during the postnatal period on offspring (F1) and grand-offspring (F2) anxiety-like and maternal behavior
