the nitrogen (n) nutrition, crop yield, and responses of wheat to arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (amf) were tested in an experimental field under free-air ozone concentration [o3] enrichment (face) conditions. the experiment included three treatments: ambient [o3] (ambient), elevated [o3] (face, targeted at ambient [o3]×1.5), and elevated [o3] inoculated with an amf consortium consisting of sever...

1. Discs cut from tobacco leaf tissue infected with tobacco mosaic virus and cultured in water contain less non-protein nitrogen than comparable uninfected discs during the time at which TMV is formed. This deficiency disappears when virus formation ceases. Discs cultured in nutrient solution form about twice as much TMV as discs cultured in water. The maximum non-protein nitrogen deficiency is...

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of soil contamination with tri- and hexavalent chromium and soil application of compost, zeolite, and CaO on the mass of oats and content of nitrogen compounds in different organs of oats. The oats mass and content of nitrogen compounds in the crop depended on the type and dose of chromium and alleviating substances incorporated to soil. In ...

A split plot 3 by 4 experiment was designed to examine the impact of 15-week variable levels of nitrogen fertilization (0, 90, 180 and 270 kg N/ha) on the characteristics of total flavonoids (TF), total phenolics (TP), total non structurable carbohydrate (TNC), net assimilation rate, leaf chlorophyll content, carbon to nitrogen ratio (C/N), phenyl alanine lyase activity (PAL) and protein conten...

Effects of nitrogen-limitation and phosphorus-limitation on microcystin (MC) content and energy charge (EC) of the Microcystis aeruginosa were investigated in batch cultures and semi-continuous cultures. In batch cultures, nitrogen-limitation retarded the MC synthesis and phosphorus-limitation had little effects on MC production. The EC remained constant in nitrogen-limited cultures, while it d...

Numerous publications during the last 6 years have indicated the importance of the nitrogen mustards in clinical and experimental cancer chemotherapy (9, 10, 21, 32, 33, 41, 42). The principal application has been to the treatment of lymphomas and leukemias. Two compounds, methylbis(/3-chloroethyl)amine (HN2) and tris(/3-chloroethyl)amine, have been most widely used. An equally impressive numbe...

This study explored the potential use of hyperspectral data in the non-destructive assessment of chlorophyll, carbon, and nitrogen content of giant reed at the canopy level. We found that pseudoabsorption and derivatives of original hyperspectral data were able to describe the relationship between spectral data and measured biochemical characteristics. Based on correlogram analyses of ground-ba...

Method for vigor diagnosis of tea trees based on nitrogen content in tealeaves relating to NDVI is proposed. In the proposed method, NIR camera images of tealeaves are used for estimation of nitrogen content in tealeaves. The nitrogen content is highly correlated to Theanine (amid acid) content in tealeaves. Theanine rich tealeaves taste good. Therefore, tealeaves quality can be estimated with ...
