In this study, cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) were successfully isolated from coconut palm petiole residues falling off naturally with chemical pretreatments and mechanical treatments by a grinder and a homogenizor. FTIR spectra analysis showed that most of hemicellulose and lignin were removed from the fiber after chemical pretreatments. The compositions of CNFS indicated that high purity of nan...

The main objective of this work was to identify and classify genes involved in the process of leaf abscission in Clementina de Nules (Citrus clementina Hort. Ex Tan.). A 7 K unigene citrus cDNA microarray containing 12 K spots was used to characterize the transcriptome of the ethylene-induced abscission process in laminar abscission zone-enriched tissues and the petiole of debladed leaf explant...

background: asthma is a common condition in general medical practice, and it accounts for about 1% of all ambulatory hospital visits. nowadays, hospitalization rates for asthma have actually been increased in some demographic subgroups despite recent advances in treatment. understanding the underlying factors that contribute to hospitalization and especially duration of the hospitalization of a...

Grain Amaranths are important nutritional vegetables in the world for their grains and leaves. Twelve grain Amaranth accessions were evaluated performances using randomized complete block design with 3 replications 2 years to measure variability group accessions. Analysis of Variance revealed significant among Amaranths. Phenotypic variances higher magnitude than genotypic variance all traits s...

This study concerns to evaluate the morphological and flavonoid variations, and chemotaxonomy among seven Scutellaria species. The limits of Scutellaria species were disturbed by different factors including hybridization and polymorphism. For this purpose, 39 Scutellaria accessions were collected from different natural habitats of Zagros region, Iran. A total of 15 quantitative and 20 qualitati...

Purpose: Syzygium zeylanicum (L.) DC. grows naturally in some of the Asian countries including Sri Lanka. In Belihuloya region S. trees are grown with specific characteristics than rest country and other countries. It is scientifically identified as a different variety var. lineare (Wall.). There no studies specifically focused on this tree This study has studying morphological characters suita...

Functional-structural plant modeling (FSPM) is a fast and dynamic method to predict plant growth under varying environmental conditions. Temperature is a primary factor affecting the rate of plant development. In the present study, we used three different temperature treatments (10/14°C, 18/22°C, and 26/30°C) to test the effect of temperature on growth and development of rapeseed (Brassica napu...

The studies of induced mutation in Jatropha curcas were performed by exposing the healthy and dry seeds to gamma rays viz., 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 Kr doses and ethyl methanesulphonate (EMS) viz., 1, 2, 3 and 4 %. The observations were made for seed germination percentage, growth and yield characters such as root length, shoot length, seedling length and vigour index, plant height, petiole length,...

This study aimed to use the petiole residues of miriti partially replace pine wood and evaluate effects this incorporation on physical mechanical properties particleboards. Panels were produced with 0, 25, 50, 75% in partial replacement 12% urea-formaldehyde adhesive. The chemical-physical showed potential particleboard production as they similar those pinewood. For properties, panels classifie...
