Catalytic decomposition is a very attractive way to convert tar components into H2, CO and other useful chemicals. The performance of Fe3Ni8/PG (palygorskite, PG) reduced in hydrogen at different t...
To examine genotypic variation of common bean in growth, phosphorus uptake, nodulated-root proton release, and nodule gas permeability, seven common bean recombinant inbred lines (RIL) from the cro...
This study was conducted to determine the effect of nitrogen fertilizer levels on growth and yield of specialty cut flowers, ‘Chief’ celosia, ‘Sensation’ cosmos, ‘Sunbright’ and ‘Sunr...
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the changes in ethylene production, carbohydrase activities and antioxidant status in pepper Kulai at different ripening stages. This cultivar of pepper...
Sand media filters are among the most common filters used in micro-irrigation systems, especially for filtering waters with large amounts of organic contaminants like reclaimed effluents. An experi...
Genotypic variability in root system architecture has been associated with root angle of seedlings and water extraction patterns of mature plants in a range of crops. The potential inclusion of roo...
In plants, the genomic clustering of non-homologous genes for the biosynthesis of chemical defense compounds is an emerging theme. Gene clustering is also observed for polymorphic sexual traits und...
Although the oomycetes and fungi are evolutionarily very distantly related, both taxa evolved biotrophy on plant hosts several times independently, giving rise to rust- and mildew-like phenotypes. ...
The analysis undertaken in this paper applies a multimarket model to simulate two policy measures based on the assumption that the government of Sudan would pursue two policies on the Gezira scheme...
Organic and low input farming differ substantially from conventional farming, suggesting the need for separate breeding programs. This requires knowledge of (co)variance components of important tra...
This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of different levels of soybean oil (SO) and crude protein (CP) on performance and physiological and hormonal parameters of pigs in high-temperature e...
The aim of the research reported herein was to evaluate the stability of 7 frequently used housekeeping genes including ACTB (β-actin), glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH), ubiquitous...
Methane (CH4) emission from agricultural soils increases dramatically as a result of deleterious effect of soil disturbance and nitrogen fertilization on methanotrophic organisms; however, few stud...
Rice farmers in India’s southern state of Kerala say that they have not been paid about INR300 crore (about $54.6 million) for their paddy by the state rice buying agency, Supplyco.Protes...
Turkey’s paddy rice output reached a record high of 750,000 tons in 2010 in 2011 and is expected to increase by another 21,000 tons or 3% to 770,000 tons in 2012, partly due to increased acre...
