A renewable source of carbon black is introduced by the processing lignin from agro-forestry residues. Lignin side streams are converted into spherical particles direct aerosolization followed carbonization. The obtained submicron combined with cellulose nanofibers, which act as a binder and rheology modifier, resulting in new type colloidal bioink. bioinks tested handwriting ink writing. After...

To evaluate the agro-biological traits and select promising populations of alfalfa under pedoclimatic conditions, field experiments were carried out in two locations Lithuanian Research Centre for Agriculture Forestry (western Lithuania 55°70′ N, 21°49′ E central 55°23′ 23°51′ E). Eleven established acidic soil with a pH 4.0 (experimental site I) neutral 7.0 II). The productivity traits: fresh ...

Coloured rice genotypes have greater nutritious value and consumer demand for these varieties is now greater than ever. The documentation of these genotypes is important for the improvement of the rice plant. In this study, 42 coloured rice genotypes were selected for determination of their genetic divergence using 25 simple sequence repeat (SSR) primers and 15 agro-morphological traits. Twenty...
