Several published studies have revealed a unique biological effect in adipocytes following lowlevel laser stimulation. Dr. Rodrigo Neira and coworkers (2000) were able to demonstrate that low-level laser light at 635nm emulsified isolated adipose panicles. Scanning and transmission electron microscopy (SEM and TEM) revealed the collapse of fat-filled adipocytes in panicle arrangements following...

The distribution and morphology of gold panicles from stream sediments, glacial tills and soils have been used to assess their distance from source (Antweiler and Campbell, 1977; Averill, 1988; Petts e/ ul.. 1991; Nikkarinen, 1991; Averill and Huneault, 1991; Grant et ul.. 1991). Here we present preliminary clata on the distribution and morphology of gold in Harris Crcek. southern British Colum...

Miconia machinazana C.Ulloa & D.A. Neill, sp. nov.,a new species of Melastomataceae from the Ecuador-Peru border is described and illustrated. It is characterized by the narrow, decussate leaves, dense reddish brown indument, small flowers in short panicles, pale yellow petals, and anthers opening by two large terminal pores.

The USDA-ARS Sugarcane Variety Development Program in Houma, LA aims to maximize the number of panicles available for crossing through artificial manipulation of the environment. In a three-year study, the effect of growing media, fertilizer treatment, and their interaction on sugarcane flowering (% of panicles emerged), and number of days to flowering (DTF) under an artificial photoperiod trea...

Unlike many wild grasses, domesticated rice cultivars have uniform culm height and panicle size among tillers and the main shoot, which is an important trait for grain yield. However, the genetic basis of this trait remains unknown. Here, we report that Dwarf Tiller1 (DWT1) controls the developmental uniformity of the main shoot and tillers in rice (Oryza sativa). Most dwt1 mutant plants develo...

A study was carried out on plant density at the experimental field of Institute Agricultural Research for Development (IRAD) Nkolbisson, Yaoundé to determine appropriate spacing improve rainfed rice production in bimodal rainfall forest zone Cameroon. The experiment conducted during main cropping seasons 2017 and 2018. planting used were 15cm x 15cm, 20cm 20cm, 25cm 30cm giving populations 4444...

Cereal Chem. 77(5):535–540 Observations in 1997 indicated a significant reduction in kernel bulk density and head rice yield of rice cultivar LaGrue due to blast (Pyricularia grisea). A more detailed study on rice cultivar M202 in 1998 confirmed such observations but it also showed negative effects of blast on other physical properties of rice. Rough rice from blast-infected panicles was drier ...
