Poor germination and late seedling establishment are the main obstacles observed for wide spread adoption of direct-seeded rice cultivation in both rainfed irrigated regions due to waterlogged condition soil. The present experiment was carried out identify landraces with anaerobic tolerance development varieties suitable direct seeded cultivation. A total 53 genotypes were evaluated by followin...

Citrus phylogeny is currently based on genome analysis using molecular markers and sequencing. The 7 pure genetic groups that gave rise to all cultivated citrus underlie the diversity of accessions originating from Asia. However, there are wild forms whose phylogenetic position unknown, such as mountain citron (Citrus halimii B.C. Stone) was discovered in Malaysia early 1970s. We sought elucida...

A possible detrimental effect of onshore series compensation in the GB grid is the appearance of subsynchronous resonance (SSR). In this paper, a control scheme for a VSC-HVDC link capable of damping subsynchronous oscillations is proposed in order to effectively counteract the potential damage caused by SSR in steam turbines. The VSC-HVDC link has been modelled to maintain its primary function...

Leaf rust, caused by Puccinia triticina, is the most prevalent and widespread disease of wheat in South America. The objective of this study was to determine whether genetically differentiated groups of P. triticina are currently present in South America and to compare the South American population with the previously characterized population in North America. In total, 130 isolates of P. triti...

Recently, increasingly more microsatellites, or simple sequence repeats (SSRs) have been found and characterized within protein-coding genes and their untranslated regions (UTRs). These data provide useful information to study possible SSR functions. Here, we review SSR distributions within expressed sequence tags (ESTs) and genes including protein-coding, 3'-UTRs and 5'-UTRs, and introns; and ...

Like all relays, the SSR requires relatively low controlcircuit energy to switch the output state from OFF to ON, or vice versa. Since this control energy is very much lower than the output power controllable by the relay at full load, “power gain” in an SSR is substantial--frequently much higher than in an electromagnetic relay of comparable output rating. To put it another way, the sensitivit...

Grevillea iaspicula is a highly restricted species occupying limestone outcrops near Wee Jasper, New South Wales (Australia). To allow future assessment of the ecological processes shaping the structure of G. iaspicula populations, seven polymorphic microsatellite (SSR) loci were developed from a partial genomic library. Amplification and polymorphism of six previously derived G. macleayana SSR...

We explore the application of Small-Scale Reconfigurability (SSR) to graphics hardware. SSR is an architectural technique wherein functionality common to multiple subunits is reused rather than replicated, yielding high-performance reconfigurable hardware with reduced area requirements. We show that SSR can be used effectively in programmable graphics architectures to allow double-precision com...
