    Abstract: Participatory varietal selection and participatory plant breeding are two new terminologies that include both old and new concepts and procedures. The degree and timing of farmer involvement in plant breeding determines the difference between participatory varietal selection and participatory plant breeding. The main difference between participator... Show More

    Abstract: Elucidation of the in vitro antitumor effects of Pleurotus ostreatus polysaccharides is very important for their future clinical application. In this paper, we use Sarcoma-180 (S180) cells to test the antitumor activity of the mushroom polysaccharides. The S180 cells in freshly prepared mouse ascites were directly treated by water-soluble polysacch... Show More
