Arcelin, the antimetabolic protein from wild pulses is a known natural insecticidal molecule. Wild pulses with high arcelin content could serve as potential source to. increase the levels of insect resistance in cultivated pulse crops. In this study, arcelin (Arl) gene expression was screened in seven stored product insect pest resistant wild pulse varieties using real time RT-qPCR. Arcelin gen...

Rice is one of the food crops and commercial crops. also has potential to contribute significantly increasing income employment in rural areas. As indicated by rice imports from Thailand Vietnam, national production not been able meet domestic demand. The objectives this study were (1) determine actual land suitability levels plants Luwu Regency (2) find out limiting factors for Regency. Evalua...

Tropical fruit crops are predominantly produced in tropical and subtropical developing countries, but some are now grown in southern Japan. Pineapple (Ananas comosus), mango (Mangifera indica) and papaya (Carica papaya) are major tropical fruits cultivated in Japan. Modern, well-organized breeding systems have not yet been developed for most tropical fruit species. Most parts of Japan are in th...

Microbial biofertilizers are becoming an effective tool for sustainable agriculture by means of the reduction of the use of chemical fertilizers. However, the knowledge of each specific plant–microorganism interaction is essential for a correct application. In this study, we analyzed the in vitro plant-growth-promotion mechanisms of a Rhizobium leguminosarum strain named PEPV16 isolated from Ph...

The biomass production potential at temperate latitudes (56°N), and the quality of the biomass for energy production (anaerobic digestion to methane and direct combustion) were investigated for the green macroalgae, Ulva lactuca. The algae were cultivated in a land based facility demonstrating a production potential of 45T (TS) ha(-1) y(-1). Biogas production from fresh and macerated U. lactuca...

The CGIAR Research Program (CRP) on Roots, Tubers and Bananas (RTB) includes vegetatively propagated staple crops linked by common breeding, seed, and postharvest issues, and by the frequency with which women are involved in their production and use. RTB crops are the backbone of food security across the humid tropics in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) and in more localized areas of Asia and Latin Ame...

This study aims to determine land suitability class for of plantation crops, namely; cocoa, arabica coffee and durian in Cemplang region, Ciomas district, Serang Regency. The research used several stages method including; collecting data information, determining soil sample points field surveys, taking samples observation, conducting laboratory analysis assessing classes. Data processing was ca...

A debate about cultivation and trading of soy has emerged among scientists, policymakers, the public in recent years. Export-orientated production regions South America is associated with large-scale ecosystem destruction. Since an important source animal fodder, policymakers are developing schemes to support enhance sustainable domestic cultivation, especially EU. Expanded should ideally provi...

The sowing area and yield of crops are primarily determined by climatic suitability modified terrain conditions. This study presents the actual ten major in Europe reveals spatial pattern available soil phosphorus concentrations between within areas crops, based on LUCAS database. A great variance cropping over was observed, especially for with a broad tolerance. Results show significant differ...
