The development of a theoretical model to describe the scattering mechanisms involved in the remote sensing of rice crops is essential, as it ensures correct application of remote sensing data for rice monitoring. The theoretical model used in this study is based on the radiative transfer theory applied on a layered dense discrete random medium. The dense medium phase and amplitude correction t...

Introduction Currently, therapies using multipotent mescenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are tested clinically for various disorders, including cardiac disease [1]. However, conventional culture media contain fetal bovine serum (FBS) and so the concern about amphixenosis remains. Therefore, developing animal derived factor-free media are desired [2]. We previously reported that rice bran extract (RBE...

synthetic dyes are among the most common contaminants of the environment. therefore, the aim of this study was investigation the removal of basic blue 41 (bb41) and methylene blue (mb) from industrial effluents by useing raw and modified rice stems. in this study raw and modified rice stems treated chemically with citric acid (ca) and were used to explore the potentiality of rice stems for remo...

Defatted rice bran was treated with subcritical water between 120 and 240°C. The extraction temperature af fected the total carbohydrate and protein contents of the extracts. In the tested temperature range, the total carbohydrate and protein contents were the highest at 180°C and 210°C. The DPPH radical scavenging activity of the extracts increased with increasing extraction temperature up to ...

Over 2,600 transgenic rice plants in nine strains were regenerated from >500 independently selected hygromycin-resistant calli after Agrobacterium-mediated transformation. The plants were transformed with fully modified (plant codon optimized) versions of two synthetic cryIA(b) and cryIA(c) coding sequences from Bacillus thuringiensis as well as the hph and gus genes, coding for hygromycin phos...

Stem borer resistant transgenic parental lines, involved in hybrid rice, were produced by Agrobacterium-mediated gene transfer method. Two pSB111 super-binary vectors containing modified cry1Ab/cry1Ac genes driven by maize ubiquitin promoter, and herbicide resistance gene bar driven by cauliflower mosaic virus 35S promoter were, used in this study. Embryogenic calli after co-cultivation with Ag...
