In this study, we constructed a novel Streptomyces-E.coli shuttle vector pZRJ362 combining the xylose isomerase promoter and amylase terminator. A gene encoding the endoglucanase Cel6A in Thermobifida fusca was amplified by PCR, cloned into Streptomyces lividans host strain using the novel expression vector and Pichia pastoris GS115 host strain using the vector pPICZα-C, respectively. Afterward...

the optimal cropping pattern for sistan water resources management was determined through a goal programming technique within the gams programming environment. results showed that the optimum cultivation area and net profit of the agricultural sector in the sistan region could increase up to 18.1 and 39.8%, respectively, compared to the current status. an increase in the farm irrigation efficie...

Abstract Sweet sorghum bagasse (SSB) is the dregs of sweet plant. SSB potential lignocellulosic biomass for bioethanol production. cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin content 30-40%, 20-30%, 25-30%, respectively. Previously has been used as animal feed not utilized optimally. a high cellulose. Cellulose can be hydrolyzed by cellulase to produce sugar. The amount sugar from cellulose hydrolysis...

iran is a major producer of saffron in the world. about 255 tons of saffron is produced on 70 thousands hectares of land, of which 125 tons are exported. production is practiced on small holding, using traditional cultivation practices. one of the major problems associated with saffron cultivation is soil fertility depletion during the first cultivation period, the effects of which extends for ...

Conducting research on monitoring contaminated fields by heavy metals is necessary in order to achieve sustainable agriculture, increase product quality and keep public health. This study was carried out using split plot experiment based on randomized complete blocks design with three replications during 2014-2015 in Shavor Agricultural Research Center in order to evaluate the effect of croppin...

This study was carried out in Bale Eco-Region (BER) which is located in Southeastern Ethiopia with the objective of addressing the cause and effect of ecological damage, particularly rangeland degradation. Both purposive and stratified random sampling approaches were used to select HouseHolds (HH). Individual interview, key informants an...

Productivity of most common Iraqi rice cultivar was low compared to an average production among major rice-producing countries, this may be due to inadequacy of knowledge and skills of rice farmers about rice cultivation practices. The study was conducted in Mahanawiyah district of AL-Qadisiya Province in Iraq, to assess knowledge level of rice farmers about some rice cultivation practices .The...

planting pattern can be adjusted by changing row spacing and row width, one row and two- row planting and plant interval on rows. in order to obtain the optimum planting pattern of a monogerm hybrid cultivar and its effect on the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of this cultivar, an experiment was conducted in two years (2001-2002) in zarghan area of farsprovince. the measured chara...

there are various views about deceision making for the model of growing crops in risky conditions such as: motad model, inome - variance, grade2 planning, inseparable linear planning, and limited extreme risk model, focus-loss model, and target- motad . in this study, target - motad model has been used as the optimum pattern of growing crops in arsanjan. the results have been compared with thos...
