OBJECTIVE Bombyx mori parvo-like virus is a type of virus containing two single-stranded linear DNA molecules (VD1, VD2). In the present work, the structural proteins of B. mori parvo-like virus (China Zhenjiang isolate) (BmDNV-Z) were identified. METHODS The virions were purified by cesium chloride density gradient centrifugation from the feces of B. mori larvae infected with BmDNV-Z and ana...

An investigation was carried out at the Research Farm of Olericulture Division of Horticulture Research Centre of Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute (BARI) to evaluate the heterotic performance in F1 generation of tomato. The hybrids showed significant variation in heterosis. The highest heterobeltiotic effects were observed in the cross P3 x P8 (-18.46%) for earliness, P1 x P6 (8.57 %)...

Combining ability for grain yield and other traits were evaluated in a half diallel fashion maize. Eight yellow maize inbred lines crossed excluding the reciprocals during summer season of 2018 at Gemmeiza station, resulting 28F1 along with check SC168 two locations (Gemmeiza Sids) 2019 season. A randomized complete block design (RCBD) four replications was used. Mean squares GCA SCA highly sig...

Broadbills in the genus Smithornis produce a loud brreeeeet during a distinctive flight display. It has been posited that this klaxon-like sound is generated non-vocally with the outer wing feathers (P9, P10), but no scientific studies have previously addressed this hypothesis. Although most birds that make non-vocal communication sounds have feathers with a shape distinctively modified for sou...

We first show that for any bipartite graph H with at most five vertices, there exists an on-line competitive algorithm for the class of H-free bipartite graphs. We then analyze the performance of an on-line algorithm for coloring bipartite graphs on various subfamilies. The algorithm yields new upper bounds for the on-line chromatic number of bipartite graphs. We prove that the algorithm is on-...

The purpose of this study was to determine, for the first time, antioxidant activities of seven peptides (P1-P7) derived from hydrolysis of oat proteins in a cellular model. In the oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) assay, it was found that P2 had the highest radical scavenging activity (0.67 ± 0.02 µM Trolox equivalent (TE)/µM peptide) followed by P5, P3, P6, P4, P1, and P7 whose activi...

a lack of adequate annual chilling in temperate zone fruit growing trees, especially pistachio is a main problem observed in many areas with partly warm winters. usually this phenomenon results in disorders in vegetative and reproductive structures, decrease in production of pollen, falling of flower buds and decrease in or loss of fruit set. presently the use of some substitute chemical compou...

Distribution of responsibility is one the main focus areas in discussions about climate change ethics. Most these deal with distribution for mitigation at international level. The aim this paper to investigate if and how principles can be used inform search a fair adaptation on local We found that most influential level were turn built or more seven basic principles: (P1) equal shares, (P2) des...

N,N'-Bis[1-aryl-3-(piperidine-1-yl)propylidene]hydrazine dihydrochlorides were synthesized by the reaction of 2 mols of 1-aryl-3-(piperidine-1-yl)-1-propanone hydrochlorides with 1 mol of hydrazine hydrate. Aryl part was C₆H₅ (P1), 4-CH₃C₆H₄ (P2), 4-CH₃OC₆H₄ (P3), 4-HOC₆H₄ (P4), 4-ClC₆H₄ (P5), 3-CH₃OC₆H₄ (P6), 4-FC₆H₄ (P7) and 4-BrC₆H₄ (P8). Except P1, all compounds were reported for the first ...

The present study was carried out on snake gourd having seven diverse genotypes (TC 01, TC 05, 24, 33, 02, 46 and 53) used as parental lines their 21 crosses generated from 7 × half-diallel fashion at Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Agricultural University (BSMRAU) during March to June 2019 following RCBD with three replications. aim of the determine general combining ability (GCA) specific (...
