Rice bean (Vigna umbellata (Thunb.) Ohwi & Ohashi) is a warm season annual legume mainly grown in East Asia. Only scarce genomic resources are currently available for this legume crop species and no simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers have been specifically developed for rice bean yet. In this study, approximately 26 million high quality cDNA sequence reads were obtained from rice bean using I...

Species interactions in mixed plantations can influence tree growth, resources capture and soil fertility of the stands. A combined approach tree-ring analyses carbon stable isotope was used to check growth water use efficiency two species, Populus alba L. Juglans regia L., intercropped with each other N-fixing or competitive production species. Furthermore, were performed understand how differ...

wetlands are often considered sinks for contaminants, and aquatic plants have been shown to play important roles in wetland biogeochemistry through their active and passive circulation of elements. in this research, in order to evaluate the concentration level of heavy metals released by the urban, industrial and agricultural activities at the margin of the rivers flowing into anzali lagoon, as...

This study evaluated the effectiveness of two bioswales eight years after construction in Davis, California. The treatment bioswale measured 9 m × 1 m × 1 m (L ×W × D). Engineered soil mix (75% native lava rock and 25% loam soil) replaced the native loam soil. Four Red Tip Photinia (Photinia × fraseri Dress) trees and two Blueberry Muffin Hawthorn (Rhaphiolepis umbellata (Thunb.) Makino) shrubs...

Several properties of online interaction are challenging the accumulated wisdom of trading communities on how to produce and manage trust. Online reputation reporting systems have emerged as a promising trust management mechanism in such settings. The objective of this paper is to contribute to the construction of online reputation reporting systems that are robust in the presence of unfair and...

The present study investigated the potential effect of Hunteria Umbellata fruit extract on lipid profile reduction administered at different daily doses ie 200mg/kg, 400mg/kg compared with control (1) and group5 treated 0.3ml standard drug insulin following aloxan monohydrate induction. profile- HDL,LDL,vLDL,Triglycerides Total cholesterol were determine using precipitant (mmol), enzymatic hydr...

Water resource degradation is one of mankind's greatest worries, as it causes direct and indirect damage to the associated biota. We initiated a water monitoring study in Pelotas Creek in 2003 in order to assess the mutagenic effect of the creek's waters. Allium cepa cells exposed to water samples and a chronically exposed macrophyte were analyzed, through evaluation of the mitotic index, mitot...

Vigna umbellata (Thunb.)Ohwi and Ohashi, previously Phaseolus calcaratus, is a warm-season legume, commonly called as rice bean and it is a mixed crop with maize, sorghum and cowpea. In this paper proximate composition of rice bean flour and its functional properties and effect of soaking on proximate composition, anti-nutritional factors, functional properties, cooking quality and PCMP number ...
