Mitochondrial biogenesis is dependent on both nuclearly and mitochondrially encoded proteins. Study of the nuclearly encoded mitochondrial gene products and their effect on mitochondrial genome expression is essential to understanding mitochondrial function. Mutations in the nuclear gene CBPl of Saccharomyces cerevisiae result in degradation of mitochondrially encoded cytochrome b (cob) RNA; th...

Identification of regulatory molecules that determine the extent and direction of expansion is necessary to understand how cell morphogenesis is controlled in plants. We recently identified COB (COBRA) as a key regulator of the orientation of cell expansion in the root. Analysis of the Arabidopsis genome sequence indicated that COB belongs to a multigene family consisting of 12 members, all pre...

A field experiment was conducted in maize under medium-term conservation agriculture (CA) based maizewheat system at BISA-CIMMYT, Ladhowal, Punjab during kharif 2019 to assess the effect of CA+ practices (CA with sub-surface drip irrigation) variable N doses on maize. The treatments were residue retained (WR) permanent bed (PB) fertigation (PB-SSD): without (N0), 120 kg N/ha,150 N/ha applied 4-...

Current corn kernel-cob bonding mechanics models (LSD models) uniformly consider the force changes during maize threshing operation as an elastic change, resulting in computational errors of up to 10% or more discrete element simulations. Due inability perform high-precision simulation characteristics operation, core operating parameters thresher (rotation speed component) rely mainly on empiri...

Earhead worm Autoba silicula (Swinhoe, 1897) (Lepidoptera: Erebidae) is recorded for the first time in India on maize. Larvae were found feeding maturing grains and silk, fully fed matured larvae pupates under a dome shaped or elongated galleries made of silk inside cob. Roving survey conducted during 2019 2020 an average 0.40 0.45 per plant, respectively, which below economic threshold. In pre...

Aerosol-derived airway morphometry (ADAM) and aerosol bolus dispersion (D) are altered in patients or animal models with lung emphysema. This study was performed to examine the sensitivity and specificity of ADAM and D in the detection of emphysema in vivo compared with conventional lung function parameters. The study comprised patients with chronic obstructive bronchitis (COB) without emphysem...

Several studies conducted in recent years Côte d’Ivoire reveal that agriculture is increasingly affected by the adverse effects of climate variability. The present study aims at evaluating effect zone and year cultivation on productivity maize Central North-Central zones Cote d’Ivoire. It was carried out for two (2020 2021). experimental design used a completely randomized block with three repl...
