Also known as Queen Anne's lace, this Class B noxious weed is widespread in western WA, however control is required in certain areas of eastern WA because of the impact to commercial carrot growers.
Research shows that environmen- tal and genetic factors can signicantly inuence carotenoid concentrations in vegetable crops, and that changing cultural management strategies could be advantageous, resulting in increased vegetable carotenoid concentrations.
The DPPH radical scavenging activities of these compounds were compared with those of rutin, quercetin and rosmarinic acid at a concentration of 2×105 M.
Research Research focus is primarily on potato tuber physiology and potato growth and development. Specific factors include mineral nutrition, tuber and root temperature, growth regulators, water relations and irrigation scheduling, foliar fertilization on potato physiology, tuber yield and quality.
Vegetable, eaten raw or cooked. Rich in carotene which is the precursor of vitamin A. First domesticated in Afganistan. Early varieties had anthocyanin pigments in them giving the carrot a red, purple or black colour. A yellow variety without anthocyanin arose in the 16th century and became popular.
