Sugarcane production is strongly influenced by drought, which is a limiting factor for agricultural productivity in the world. In this study, the gene expression profiles obtained by de novo assembly of the leaf transcriptome of two sugarcane cultivars that differ in their physiological response to water deficit were evaluated by the RNA-Seq method: drought-tolerant cultivar (SP81-3250) and dro...

We identified a gene responsible for tolerance to boron (B) toxicity in rice (Oryza sativa), named BORON EXCESS TOLERANT1. Using recombinant inbred lines derived from the B-toxicity-sensitive indica-ecotype cultivar IR36 and the tolerant japonica-ecotype cultivar Nekken 1, the region responsible for tolerance to B toxicity was narrowed to 49 kb on chromosome 4. Eight genes are annotated in this...

Bauunternehmen sind ein Spezialfall von Organisationen, deren operatives Geschäft mobil durchgeführt wird. Insbesondere in der Bauausführungsphase stehen dabei einem hohen Kostendruck erhebliche Effizienzreserven durch eine Steigerung des Koordinationsgrades gegenüber. Neben der Vielzahl mobiler Arbeitsplätze wirken sich hier insbesondere die Mobilität des Geräteparks und die durch zunehmende S...

The main objective of this paper is to describe a new designed software tool to simulate the GPRS network. The proposed simulation technique shows how to connect the components together so as to achieve the correct network for the GPRS technology. While connecting the components, the user will be able to observe how these components interact with each other and how the Mobil ends and receives d...

The selective preparation of monobenzyl glyceryl ethers, which are potential commodity chemicals with special functions, was explored to find new applications for glycerol. Among the acid catalysts investigated (sulfuric acid, heteropoly acid, Nafion(R), and zeolite), Zeolite Socony Mobil-5 (ZSM-5) afforded better results. The reaction of equimolar amounts of glycerol and benzyl alcohol at 150º...

Immer mehr Menschen nutzen Smartphones nicht nur für Telefonate oder SMS-Nachrichten, sondern auch zur E-Mail-Kommunikation, als Spieloder als Navigationsgerät. Durch die Nutzung mobiler Geräte werden alle Arten von Informationen mobil verfügbar und abrufbar. Im öffentlichen Personenverkehr (ÖPV) gilt dies zum Beispiel für Fahrplandaten, Abfahrtszeiten oder auch Informationen zu Verspätungen. W...

Drahtlose Netzwerktechnologien, wie z.B. Bluetooth, ermöglichen den direkten Datenaustausch zwischen mobilen Endgeräten. Damit wird eine neue Form überbetrieblicher Anwendungsintegration möglich, die dezentral, mobil und ad hoc erfolgt, im Gegensatz zu den derzeit dominierenden Ansätzen, wie z.B. EDI, die über zentrale Schnittstellen erfolgen. Mögliche Anwendungen dieser im Folgenden genannten ...

For the last five years an average 14,761 ha of white clover has been grown for seed, with 77%, 8% and 15% sown in public cultivars, New Zealand and overseas proprietary cultivars, respectively. The area presently contaminated by proprietaries is estimated at 20,000 ha. New Zealand requirements for cultivar-change are more effective than OECD requirements. The five-year break period enables suc...

The degree of resistance by a cotton plant to Meloidogyne incognita is affected by soil temperature, particularly in moderately resistant cultivars, The total number of nematodes in the resistant and moderately resistant rools at 35 C was equal to, or greater than, the number in susceptible roots at 20, 25, or 30 C. A shift in numbers to developing and egg-bearing forms of nematodes in the susc...

Eight cultivars Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench were grown as callus cultures under induced, prolonged water stress (8 weeks), with polyethylene glycol in the medium. Concentrations of soluble carbohydrates and organic acids in callus were measured at the end of the growth period to determine differences in response to prolonged water stress. Sucrose, glucose, fructose, and malate were the predomin...
