This article describes the effect of particle size distribution, pellet size and dehydration techniques on the improvement of physical properties of the pelleted feed products. It is shown that dehydration with vacuum has positive effect on durability when compared to air technique. Products volume and particle size distribution also had an effect on physical properties. INTRODUCTION In porous ...

The article presents the results of studying water regime and drought resistance varieties breeding forms apple tree raspberry domestic foreign collection FSBSI "NBS-NSC" in laboratory conditions using method leaf dehydration. – Favorit Balsam released Crimea were taken as a control. Based on performed studies, groups promising (Valyuta, 12–14–78, 2–5–25–80, 2–11–7–80) (Glen Ample, Gusar, Krepy...

Mature peach leaves are typically about 4 x 16 cm, with a width/length ratio of about 25%. A narrow leaf seedling, selected by Wayne Sherman (Univ. of Florida, Gainesville), was hybridized at USDA-Byron with adapted commercial varieties. Early generation hybrids produced small, irregular-shaped fruit. After 5 generations, current selections are approaching commercial fruit standards in size, co...

Deep-water access is arguably the most effective, but under-studied, mechanism that plants employ to survive during drought. Vulnerability embolism and hydraulic safety margins can predict mortality risk at given levels of dehydration, deep-water may delay plant dehydration. Here, we tested role in enabling survival within a diverse tropical forest community Panama using novel data-model approa...

nowadays, hydrogels are widely used as wound dressings in biomedical applications. similar to other types of the moist (wet) wound dressings, it is necessary to have sufficient information about their dehydration kinetics during the pre-usage period (e.g. storage duration) and also the wound healing process. in this work, hydrogel wound dressings based on polyvinyl alcohol were prepared by cycl...

Water deficits affect the capacity of leaves to transport water, a process that is related obstruction air in xylem (embolism). The tolerance this has been negatively associated with water-transport efficiency at level across species, suggesting tradeoff between hydraulic and safety. But there lack observation higher integration levels, i.e., organs. This study aimed evaluate six fruit tree spe...

Leaf senescence in winter deciduous species signals the transition from the active to the dormant stage. The purpose of leaf senescence is the recovery of nutrients before the leaves fall. Photoperiod and temperature are the main cues controlling leaf senescence in winter deciduous species, with water stress imposing an additional influence. Photoperiod exerts a strict control on leaf senescenc...

C-repeat binding factors/dehydration responsive element factors 1 (CBFs/DREB1s) are a small family of transcription that play important roles in plant resistance to various external stresses. However, functional characterization tea (Camellia sinensis L.) CBF gene (CsCBF) was still seldom reported. Here, study the cold-responsive (CsCBF2) done. Results showed CsCBF2 had conserved AP2 DNA-bindin...

Drought and its affects on agricultural production is a serious issue facing global efforts to increase food supplies and ensure food security for the growing world population. Understanding how plants respond to dehydration is an important prerequisite for developing strategies for crop improvement in drought tolerance. This has proved to be a difficult task as all of the current research plan...
