This is a most worth-while volume, that should be read by social workers in particular and humanitarians in general. Within small bulk, it lays bare, without offence to those who are labouring now in this field, the great need of the inhabitants of Common Lodging Houses, to be understood in the first place, and to be given the help they so sorely need, in the second. The survey is well planned,...

Service quality is a major issue because is the result of a judgmental value that involves both the expectations as well as the perceptions of the customers. Despite its tremendous growth in Portugal, little is known about service quality neither in rural areas nor how it is perceived in the Terra Quente Transmontana. This article has two main purposes. Firstly, to compare the service provided ...

The distant hybridization was used in lodging-resistance breeding of Platycodon grandiflorus. The parents were Platycodon grandiflorus (♀) and Campanula medium (♂). 187 seeds of F1 were harvested by using the inter-generic hybridization in 2009 and 2010, 2 repeat, and 88 normal plants were obtained. The characteristics of leaves, stems and branches were the same as female for F1 generation, F2 ...

Background . Lodging resistance of winter rye is associated with morphological features the stem. Searching for source material to breed non-lodging high-yielding cultivars requires studying varietal phenotypic diversity according characters stem that affect lodging and productivity ear. Materials methods Experiments were carried out in 2017–2020 at Federal Agricultural Research Center North-Ea...

Abstract Lodging is being increasingly recognized as a critical concern among crop breeders worldwide it causes significant reduction in the grain yield and quality of multiple cereal crops. The lodging index frequently used for evaluating resistance rice ( Oryza sativa L.) However, application comparing susceptibility between different cultivars inadequate under certain special conditions. Thi...

Traditional breeding for high-yielding rice has been dependent on the widespread cultivation of gibberellin (GA)-deficient semi-dwarf varieties. Dwarfism lowers the "center of gravity" of the plant body, which increases resistance against lodging and enables plants to support high grain yield. Although this approach was successful in latter half of the 20th century in rice and wheat breeding, t...
