Product Temperature Response of a Locally Developed Extruder to Maize Processing

An Architectural Approach to Investigate Maize Response to Low Temperature

In maize, grain yield is highly associated with light interception and photosynthetic activity during grain filling. In Europe, this period typically occurs when solar radiation is already decreasing and water availability may be limiting. The improvement of cold-tolerance is a major challenge for maize production because earlier sowing would allow a better fit between crop cycle and availabili...

Developing a Research Agenda for the Analysis of Product Supply: A Response to the Recent Commentaries

A value analysis of new product development factors.in a Developed and Developing Country (Case Study)

New product development (NPD) is described in the literature as the transformation of a market opportunity into a product available for sale. In the automotive industry, within the context of ISO/TS16949:2002 (the automotive quality management system international standard),  these related to the product realization process (PRP) which consists of Three main phases such as planning, Implem...

Assessment Maize Hybrids Response to Biological and Chemical Nitrogen Fertilizers

This research set out to evaluate the effect of combined biological and chemical nitrogen fertilizers on some corn hybrids. To this end an experiment was conducted as split plot on the basis of randomized complete block design with four replications. Main plots were included: use of chemical and biological fertilizers in four levels: 100% chemical fertilizer, 75% chemical fertilizer + 100% bio-...

Temperature response of bundle-sheath conductance in maize leaves.

A small bundle-sheath conductance (g bs) is essential for the C4 CO2-concentrating mechanism to suppress photorespiration effectively. To predict the productivity of C4 crops accurately under global warming, it is necessary to examine whether and how g bs responds to temperature. We investigated the temperature response of g bs in maize by fitting a C4 photosynthesis model to combined gas excha...
