Abstract
The Agency for International Development (AID) is the primary vehicle for United States economic and humanitarian assistance to less developed countries. AID carries on functional development assistance programs in food production, population planning, health, education, and other areas of economic development in countries throughout the Near East, Asia, Latin America, and Africa. AID also supports the efforts of several international organizations, such as the United Nations Development Program, in these areas. In addition, AID carries on regional and interregional programs to supplement its efforts in specific countries. Under an interagency agreement with the Department of Agriculture, AID helps coordinate and administer Public Law 480 (“Food for Peace”) assistance to underdeveloped countries (see Public Law 480 Programs section).

To improve stain penetration and clearing in whole mycorrhizal roots of onion and other host plants, and in roots infected by other fungi, the following two procedures are developed, which give deeply stained fungal structures which show distinctly against the outlines of the cells in the cortex of intact roots.

The dominant feature of fruit fly research over the past decade has been a considerable preoccupation with projects related to the suppression or eradication of populations by the release of sterile individuals, with a strong preference for eradicative rather than "management" procedures.

The data fail to support Sutherland and Cressey's argument that family life is relevant to delinquency only when "delinquent patterns" are available to copy, and paternal supervision and support were found to be negatively related to delinquencies to approximately the same degree under almost all conditions.

Plant and SoilMycorrhiza in plants of the ‘Cerrado’
50 Citations1974Lilian Isolde Thomazini
Invest investigations showed that all the trees examined were associated with mycorrhizal fungi, and the results of soil analysis of the ‘cerrado’ existing in the litterature show a pronunciated deficiency in minerals, which would limit growth and consequently produces an acumulation of carbohydrates within plant tissues.
