The Russian wheat aphid, Diuraphis noxia (Mordvilko) (Hemiptera: Aphididae), causes severe damage to barley, Hordeum vulgare L. (Poales: Poaceae), in the highlands of Ethiopia. Little information is available on the control of this pest in Ethiopia. An experiment aimed at evaluating the resistance of barley varieties from the USA to D. noxia populations and determining biotypic variation betwee...

the west asia-north africa region, which is characterized by a typical mediterranean climate, is the center of origin of cereals, notably wheat (triticum spp.) and barley (hordeum spp). however, cereal production, which is primarily rainfed, is mainly constrained by drought due to the low rainfall accompanied by high temperatures. cereals have been tradi-tionally grown following a fallow period...

background alkylphenol polyethoxylates (apneos) and their metabolites disposal from sewage treatment plants (stp) are of particular concern due to their persistence, toxicity to aquatic organisms, and a potential endocrine disruptor. in this work, we focused on the determination of nonylphenol (np) and nonylphenol polyethoxylate (npneos) in water were collected from karun river. material and me...

Abstract Nowadays consumers are looking for new food products with added nutritional value. Therefore, producers and scientists develop recipes technologies the aim to enrich fibres, vitamins, probiotics. Since naked barley contains high concentration of soluble dietary fibre, including β-glucans, which have stabilising properties, it has a good potential fermented dairy development. The goal c...
