Yield and rice quality indicators of crops are a direct reflection the rational irrigation fertilizer strategy. However, effects controlled (CI) combined with split application fertilization managements (straw returning, organic fertilizer, conventional fertilizer) on not clear in southeast China. This study aims at exploring three applied under CI or flooding yield, quality, enzyme activity, s...

In an article published in Development titled ‘A theoretical framework for the regulation of Shh morphogen-controlled gene expression’, the Briscoe laboratory presented a mathematical model of the transcriptional interpretation of graded Shh signaling and bifunctional Gli transcription factors (TFs) in neural patterning (Cohen et al., 2014). This model makes the following major predictions: (1)...

Abstract Background Miscanthus is a commercial lignocellulosic biomass crop owing to its high productivity, resilience and photosynthetic capacity at low temperature. These qualities make particularly good candidate for temperate marginal land, where yields can be limited by insufficient or excessive water supply. Differences in response stress have been observed among species, which correlated...

Soft wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) quality tests (milling and baking quality) and starch characteristics (amylose concentration, X-ray diffractograms, thermal properties and pasting properties) were determined for eight granule-bound starch synthase (GBSS: waxy protein) genotypes in a soft wheat background. Lines carrying two null alleles showed reduced amylose concentrations relative to those o...

BACKGROUND Cultivated bananas are large, vegetatively-propagated members of the genus Musa. More than 1,000 cultivars are grown worldwide and they are major economic and food resources in numerous developing countries. It has been suggested that cultivated bananas originated from the islands of Southeast Asia (ISEA) and have been developed through complex geodomestication pathways. However, the...

The composition of amylopectin is the determinant of rice eating quality under certain threshold of protein content and the ratio of amylose and amylopectin. In molecular biology level, the fine structure of amylopectin is determined by relative activities of starch branching enzyme (SBE), granule-bound starch synthase (GBSS), and soluble starch synthase (SSS) in rice grain under the same ADP-G...

The term peripheral neuropathy refers to disorders of the nervous system (PNS) including single and multiple (asymmetric) mononeuropathies, symmetrical involvement many nerves (polyneuropathy). Further classification depends on a mixture phenomenological, neurophysiological, pathological aetiological parameters. temporal evolution symptoms divides polyneuropathy (PN) into acute or chronic. Acut...
