In most wheat growing moderate regions and especially in the north of Iran climate, is affected grain filling by several physical and abiotic stresses. In this region, grain filling often occurs when temperatures are increasing and moisture supply is decreasing. The experiment was designed in RCBD with split plot arrangements with four replications. Four irrigation treatments included (I0) no i...

To further determine the importance of endotoxin in grain dust-induced inflammation of the lower respiratory tract, we evaluated the efficacy of pentaacylated diphosphoryl lipid A derived from the lipopolysaccharide of Rhodobacter sphaeroides (RsDPLA) as a partial agonist of grain dust-induced airway inflammation. RsDPLA is a relatively inactive compound compared with lipid A derived from Esche...

The levels of 26 mycotoxins were determined in 147 samples of the grain of cereals cultivated in five regions of Poland during the 2014 growing season. The HPLC-HRMS (time-of-flight) analytical technique was used. An analytical procedure to simultaneously determine 26 mycotoxins in grain was developed, tested and verified. Samples from eastern and southern Poland were more contaminated with myc...

To determine the effect of inorganic N fertilizer on the incidence of yellow stem borer (YSB), Scirpophaga incertulas Walker and on grain yield, yield attributes and bio-chemical characters of local paddy cultivar Tulaipanji, a field experiment for three consecutive years (2007-2009) was carried out by randomized block design in pesticide untreated field. Treatments comprised of seven different...

A study was conducted at Bunda College during the 2003/04 crop season to assess the effect of fertilizer application practices on performance of maize with emphasis on improving the efficiency of using urea as a top dressing fertilizer The treatments were laid out as a split-plot in a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with maize varieties as main plots and fertilizer application practices...

Kováčová M., Malinová E. (2007): Ferulic and coumaric acids, total phenolic compounds and their correlation in selected oat genotypes. Czech j. Food Sci., 25: 325–332. Ferulic and coumaric acids were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography in 21 oat genotypes supplied from the gene bank of the Research Institute of Plant Production in Piešťany (Slovak Republic) with the aim of sele...

The unique nonuniform deformation characteristic of high-pressure torsion was used to produce nanostructures with systematically varying grain sizes in a copper disk, which allows us to study the grain-size effect on the deformation mechanisms in nanostructured copper using a single sample. The as-processed copper disk has 100–200 nm grains near its center and 10–20 nm grains at its periphery. ...
