a four - year field experiment (1999-2002) was conducted on a silty clay loam soil at laklak research field of hamedan to determine the effects of crop residue management and plowing depth on soil fertility and wheat yield in a maize-wheat rotation. in this investigation, four corn residue managements were used consisting of 1) stalk shredding by maize stalk shredder 2) stalk shredding by disk ...

Abstract Health conscious consumers are investing in food products containing functional ingredients. The study investigates the effect of addition selected plant extracts on phytochemical, antioxidant activity, physicochemical and consumer acceptability yoghurt. Yoghurts were produced from 70% raw cow milk 30% skimmed powder with 10% (v/v) Cymbopogon citratus leaf, Carica papaya Sorghum bicolo...

Based on literary data, conditions necessary for membrane fusion are discussed. It is proposed that fusion mechanisms should be classified according to the primary act involving a change in the membrane structure. Two principal fusion mechanisms are identified: the stalk mechanism, starting with the appearance of a stalk between approaching membranes, and the adhesion mechanism which involves b...

The aim of this study was to analyze sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum) biometric and technological data, obtained at different timepoints, using path analysis. The experiment was conducted in União, PI, Brazil, and evaluated 12 sugarcane genotypes (RB036066, RB9438, RB935744, RB021764, RB021754, RB021534, RB966229, RB977540, RB863129, and RB987935, and the varieties RB92579 and RB867515 as cont...

Mutisya, J.M. 2004. Starch branching enzymes and their genes in sorghum. Doctor’s dissertation. ISSN 1401-6249, ISBN 91-576-6768-3 Starch is an important raw material both for food and non-food purposes. It is synthesized and stored in source and sink tissues in plants. The starch deposited in amyloplasts of storage tissues possesses several physico-chemical properties, which makes it desirable...

The effects o f individual or combined treatment o f the cyclohexanedione herbicide sethoxy­ dim and the safener dichlormid on total lipid synthesis, protein synthesis and acetyl-CoA car­ boxylase (ACCase, EC 6.4.1.12) activity o f grain sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) M oench, var. G623] were investigated. Sethoxydim and dichlormid were tested at concentrations o f 0, 5, 50, and 100 |iM each. Se...

The southern green stink bug, Nezara viridula L., may disperse from alternate host plants, especially corn,ZeamaysL., andpeanuts,Arachis hypogaeaL., into cotton,Gossypiumhirsutum L. Trap crops may be useful to intercept dispersing stink bugs. Therefore, the ability of sorghum, Sorghum bicolor L. Moench, to trap N. viridula adults in cotton was studied for 3 yr. The 2002 experimentwas designed t...

Extensive stalk elongation in Caulobacter and Asticcacaulis can be obtained in a defined medium by limiting the concentration of phosphate. Caulobacter cells which were initiating stalk formation were labeled with tritiated glucose. After removal of exogenous tritiated material, the cells were subjected to phosphate limitation while stalk elongation occurred. The location of tritiated material ...
