In light of work by Donna Haraway, Jacques Derrida and Hélène Cixous, this paper weaves a poetic response to the Western ethnocentric mode thought as that which cuts once forever line dividing nature from culture. That elevates Man over all other creatures, indeed living things, does so means phallic imaginary deeply tied Judaeo-Christian ontotheology – shame, nudity original sin. Through figur...

Ethylene is a plant hormone that influences many aspects of plant growth and development (10). The biosynthetic pathway of ethylene production in higher plants is well defined. The rate-limiting step in this pathway is the reaction catalyzed by ACC' synthase (S-adenosyl-L-methionine methyl-thioadenosine-lyase, EC 4.4.1.4), which converts Sadenosyl-L-methionine to ACC. Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum...

asymmetry coeKcients as functions of p„ /„and v, are also shown in Fig. 1.Note the changes in the functional dependence of the asymmetry on p„ /„and v, as the ratio" cz/cv is changed. The energy dependences of the ~ The Cabibbo octet hypothesis for leptonic decays gives two solutions of cg/cy, viz, , —0.64~0.05 and —1.0~0.05, of which the former is regarded as the preferred solution.

Salt-affected soil is one of the most important abiotic stresses, leading to reduce rice productivity in many regions of the world. The objective of this investigation was to determine the Na, soluble sugar and starch contents and expression of some starch-related genes in two genotypes, Pokkali (salt tolerant) and IR29 (salt sensitive), grown under 200 mM NaCl. Three-week-old rice seedlings cv...

Introduction and Aim: Pointed gourd (Trichosanthes dioica Roxb) is one of the most profitable nutrient-rich summer crops. The present investigation entitled “Effect Integrated Nutrients Management Practices on Growth Yield (Tricosanthes dioica) cv. Papdi & Rudra’’ was carried conducted at open field condition located Horticulture Research Centre (HRC), Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel University Ag...

An understanding of how variation is shared within and among closely related species important for evolutionary processes managing biological diversity. We studied genetic structure in the three occurring south-western Australia that form small distinct monophyletic section Calophyllae genus Corymbia. compared diversity nuclear microsatellites chloroplast DNA sequences two with patchy distribut...

A new high pressure flow meter (HPFM) method for measuring plant hydraulic conductances (K) was investigated to examine whether its results are comparable to those from a conventional evaporative flux (EF) method in crops. Hydraulic conductance (K) was measured by the two methods under quasi-steady-state conditions in six crops grown in pots: soybean (Glycine max L. Merr. cv. Tsurunoko daizu), ...
