Barbara Kopple, who won Academy Awards in 1977 and 1991 for her nonfiction films about striking coal miners ("Harlan County USA") and food-plant employees ("American Dream"), respectively, suggested that the form has also benefited from a change in public perception. ❋ Steve Dollar (2011)
The White House proposes increased manufacturer user fees to pay for food-plant inspections and to speed the review of applications for generic drugs and biologics, drugs derived from living organisms that are the industry's fastest-growing segment. ❋ Unknown (2009)
Traditional farming systems, which are associated with specific traditional crops, varieties and technologies, are being abandoned, also resulting in increasingly monotonous diets and the loss of food-plant resources and indigenous knowledge about them. ❋ Unknown (1999)
The book aims at helping the user appreciate the wealth of food-plant resources traditionally used in Kenya and how to recognize and utilize them for the well-being of society at large and particularly the local communities who are the custodians of the resources and information presented. ❋ Unknown (1999)
As already pointed out, this concentration on a few species has resulted in a vast number of potential food-plant species being neglected, genetic erosion and loss of associated indigenous knowledge. ❋ Unknown (1999)
I do not know the proper food-plant of the Mylitta (Tusser), but I have succeeded very well with it, as it is a more hardy species than the Atlas. ❋ Various (N/A)
Many butterfly pupæ are known to have the power of individual adjustment to the colours of the particular food-plant or other normal environment; and it is probable that the Australian _Papilio_ referred to by Darwin possesses this power. ❋ James Marchant (N/A)
It is possible that the choice of an improper food-plant may have as much to do with failures as the coldness and dampness of the English climate. ❋ Various (N/A)
"She was laying eggs on my food-plant!" cried the Princess. ❋ Karle Wilson Baker (1919)
Many butterfly pupae are known to have the power of individual adjustment to the colours of the particular food-plant or other normal environment; and it is probable that the Australian Papilio referred to by Darwin possesses this power. ❋ Marchant, James (1916)
Accompanying this letter, which has been published in “Darwin and Modern Science” (1909), was a photograph of the chrysalis (Papilio sarpedon choredon) attached to a leaf of its food-plant. ❋ Marchant, James (1916)
(Papilionid) or a 'white' (Pierid) butterfly (fig. 23) may be found attached to a twig of its food-plant or to a wall, in an upright position, its tail fastened to a pad of silk and a slender silken girdle encircling its thorax. ❋ Unknown (1902)
Such a butterfly as we have briefly sketched lays an egg on the leaf of some suitable food-plant, and there is hatched from it the well-known crawling larva [1] (fig. 1 _b, c, d_) called a caterpillar, offering in many superficial features a marked contrast to its parent. ❋ Unknown (1902)
The 'looper' caterpillars mentioned above afford remarkable examples of 'protective' resemblance, for many of them show a marvellous likeness to the twigs of their food-plant, tubercles on the insect's body resembling closely the little outgrowths of the plant's cortex. ❋ Unknown (1902)
The lepidopterous caterpillar, in our countries at least, has never more than five pairs of pro-legs, situated on the third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and tenth abdominal segments; each of these pro-legs bears a number of minute hooklets, arranged in a circular or crescentic pattern, which assist the caterpillar in clinging to its food-plant. ❋ Unknown (1902)
The autumn males and egg-laying females are, for example, frequently winged, and the same species may have constantly recurring generations of different forms adapted for different food-plants, or for different regions of the same food-plant. ❋ Unknown (1902)
These, when fully-grown, spin among the twigs of the food-plant a light cocoon, in which the black and yellow-banded wasp-like pupa spends its short summer term before the emergence of the moth. ❋ Unknown (1902)
At nightfall Hippolyte, of whatever colour, changes to a transparent azure blue: its stolidity gives place to a nervous restlessness; at the least tremor it leaps violently, and often swims actively from one food-plant to another. ❋ J. Arthur Thomson (1897)
Wheat emerged, rich in constructive possibilities, probably the most valuable food-plant in the world. ❋ J. Arthur Thomson (1897)
"The eggs are always laid by the female in a state of freedom upon the food-plant which is most congenial to the larvae." ❋ Gene Stratton-Porter (1893)
