Increased Na+ ions negatively affect soil physicochemical characteristics. We ran a pot incubation experiment for 2 months and leaching another to monitor the effects of nano-gypsum (NG, <100 nm) in low affordable doses on improving saline-sodic Treatments included control (CK), conventional gypsum (CG; ≤ 0.5 mm) at 100% CG requirement (8.9 t ha−1: CGR), three NG (240, 480 960 kg ha−1 = 2.7%, 5...

The mitochondrial genomes have provided much information on the evolution of this organelle and have been used for phylogenetic reconstruction by various methods with or without sequence alignment. In this paper, we explore the mitochondrial genomes by means of the chaos game representation (CGR), a tool derived from the chaotic dynamical systems theory. If the DNA sequence is a random collecti...

Field experiment was carried out with five selected mustard cultivars during November 2007 to February 2008 under old alluvial soil in the Crop Research and seed Multiplication Farm of Burdwan University, Burdwan, West Bengal, India in randomized block design replicated thrice. Various growth parameters viz., length of shoot and root, number of primary branches per plant, length of siliquae, di...

In complex task domains, such as games, students may exceed their teachers. Such tasks afford diverse means to tradeoff one type of performance for another, combining task elements in novel ways to yield method variations and strategy discoveries that, if mastered, might produce large or small leaps in performance. For the researcher interested in the development of extreme expertise in the wil...

Glucocorticoid (GR) and mineralocorticoid (MR) receptors are ligand-activated transcription factors that belong to the nuclear hormone receptor superfamily. Little is known about the function of GR and MR in avian species. Recently, the chicken homologue of the GR (cGR) gene was cloned, and its tissue-specific expression was characterized, whereas the full-length sequence of the chicken MR (cMR...

Not enough attention has been paid to the comparison in yield performance and N responsiveness between hybrid rice inbred using large number of new cultivars released after 2000 under machine transplanting. Field experiments were conducted 2017 2018; 48 widely planted included four groups, namely indica hybrids (IHs), japonica inbreds (JIs), indica-japonica (IJHs), (IIs) that transplanted by wi...
