	Plant Sterols/Stanols Information (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Since plant sterols and stanols may alter micelle formation, it is possible that absorption of fat-soluble nutrients (such as vitamin E and carotenoids) is diminished.
		Although plant stanols/sterols cannot replace statin medications for the aggressive treatment to lower LDL cholesterol (especially in the high-risk patient), plant sterol/stanols are considered an effective and well-tolerated lipid-lowering therapy.
		Plant sterols at the level of 0.83, 1.61 and 3.24 g/day or placebo were fed for 3.5 weeks.

	Kenaf Yield Components and Plant Composition
		As a result of the diverse uses for kenaf and the different portions of the plant being used, it is important to gain a greater understanding of the yield components and the factors affecting composition of the plant.
		Plants along the field’s outward border are usually larger and branched in the direction away from the kenaf field.
		The kenaf plant may be a source of naturally occurring allelopathic chemicals that prevent or inhibit weed seed germination and weed growth, and therefore could provide a safe and economic means of inhibiting weed competition in vegetable and agronomic crops.

		This is accomplished by planting lower plant populations in the droughty sites in a field and increasing the plant populations in the more productive areas.
		Plant population treatments did affect grain yields differently at the predetermined field locations in the fields at any of the sites during the two years this study was conducted as indicated by non-significant location x plant population interactions (Table 1).
		Another potential benefit for this technology would be the ability to plant dryland corners of a center pivot at lower plant populations than used under the under sprinkler during a single pass across the field.

	Sunflower
		Sunflower is an annual, erect, broadleaf plant with a strong taproot and prolific lateral spread of surface roots.
		The plants adjust head diameter, seed number per plant, seed size, to lower or higher populations, so that yield is relatively constant over a wide range of plant populations.
		A lower plant population is critical for maximizing seed size for non-oilseed use.

	Plant Materials
		When comparing the cost of different plant materials, keep in mind that grapevines are considered to have an economic lifespan of about 30 years, so amortization of the purchase price becomes insignificant compared to other development costs and annual production costs.
		Lower grade plants (often graded as number 2 or number 3) are priced lower to reflect their slower development and smaller size.
		Planting in early spring is preferred so that the vines can benefit from mild temperatures and favorable soil moisture while they are becoming established.

		Lower plant populations and less plant competition results in larger diameter stalks that are less susceptible to breakage.
		Michaud suggests lowering oil sunflower populations to around 15,000 plants/acre, and confection to 14,000, in dryland fields at risk to stem insects.
		Plant population did not have a significant effect on confection or oil sunflower yield in this trial at either location, supporting the hypothesis that seed drop can be reduced without significantly affecting yield.

		Judd said the Beltsville study was unique in examining plant sterols as an ingredient in low-fat foods and as part of a tightly controlled low-fat diet.
		Curiously, five of the 53 volunteers lowered their cholesterol only during the part of the study that included sterol esters.

	Plant sterols lower cholesterol Nutrition Research Newsletter - Find Articles
		Plant sterols, which chemically reduce cholesterol, have been shown to block the absorption of dietary and endogenously derived cholesterol from the gut.
		Plant sterol consumption significantly reduced LDL-cholesterol concentrations from baseline in both nondiabetic and diabetic subjects by 15.1% and 26.8%, respectively.
		Incorporation of plant sterols into a low saturated-fat and low cholesterol diet for persons at increased risk of CVD mortality could have a positive effect on reducing the mortality rate associated with type 2 diabetes but also on the general health of someone without diabetes.

		Solanaceous crop plants (tomato, potato, pepper, and egg- plant) may be infected at any age by the fungi that cause Fusarium wilt and Verticillium wilt.
		Later the lower leaves wilt, turn yellow and die and the entire plant may be killed, often before the plant reaches maturity.
		Infected plants usually survive the season but are somewhat stunted and both yields and fruits may be small depending on severity of attack.

	Pills containing plant sterols lower LDL cholesterol (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		The addition of plant sterols helped further lower total cholesterol and contributed to a nearly 10 percent reduction in low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, the so-called "bad" cholesterol.
		When consumed in the diet, sterols are known to lower cholesterol levels, but sterols are not readily absorbed in the intestine unless they have been dissolved in something that the intestine can easily absorb.
		To deliver the sterols in pill form, the plant compounds were combined with a substance called lecithin and compressed into tablets.

	Looking To Lower Your Cholesterol? -- Toronto Naturopathic Clinic
		It's because of their molecular similarity to cholesterol that plant sterols can interfere with cholesterol absorption: they "compete" for the intestinal spaces where cholesterol is transferred to the bloodstream.
		Plant sterols are Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) food substances due to their history of safe use without any harmful effects.
		Because of soy's role in lowering the risk of coronary heart disease, as well as its recognized cholesterol-lowering effects, the combination of soy and sterols would seem to have a complementary effect on markers for cardiovascular health.

		He said the unit was in the start-up mode and oil had not been reintroduced, thus leaving the catalyst in its pure form.
		Robles said after a month-long maintenance turnaround, during the start-up process at the 10 plant, unusual flaring activity caused a release of refractory material, which is used as an insulator in the flare tip to absorb heat, which protects the metal structure.
