the models oryza2000, swap and wofost simulate the growth and development of rice under conditions of potential production and water limitation. the models were evaluated against a data set of field experiments. the study was laid out in rcbd with three replications for one traditional landrace, hashemi, carried out in 2005 at the rice research institute of iran in rasht. the irrigation managem...

Holman J.: Absorption of Lipid by the Small Intestinal Enterocytes of the Chicken. Acta vet. Brno, 48, 1979: 9-13. Experiments were conducted to study the way of lipid absorption in the chicken small intestinal epithelium after peroral administration of sunflower oil. Chickens aged 14-to-23 days were used. The electron-microscopical examination showed that the lipids were absorbed by selective ...

High input costs and poor management options have resulted in a large rice yield gap. Thus, there is need to reduce production improve resource-use efficiency by using new cultivation techniques at different locations. The objective of this study was determine utilization gaps early maturing japonica under four treatments; no nitrogen application (N0), local farmer practice (FP), high-yield, hi...

Application of the plant growth regulator paclobutrazol (PBZ) to aid mango floral induction has been widely performed by producers. However, its application done manually, resulting in low uniformity and losses with labor. The objective this study was adjust PBZ dose be applied via micro-sprinkler system for induction, indicating an efficient management ‘Palmer’ Brazilian semiarid. experiment c...

Complete floret abortion on sorghum panicles due to sorghum midge (Stenodiplosis sorghicola) infestation was observed just after flowering onset in early August (2008) in fields near Montpellier (France). With the aim of controlling these infestations, mathematical models simulating the biological development of the insect as a function of temperature, which were developed in Texas (USA) and ad...

Poplars (Populus sp.) and willows (Salix sp.) are well known woody plants common throughout the northern hemisphere, both with fully sequenced genomes. They bear compact unisexual inflorescences known as "catkins." Closely related genera of the "salicoid clade" within the family Salicaceae include the Asian genera Bennettiodendron, Idesia, Itoa, Poliothyrsis, and Carrierea and the Central Ameri...

Ustiloxins A (1a), B (1b), C (1c), D (1d) and E (1e), antimitotic peptides, have been isolated from the water extract of false smut balls caused on the panicles of rice plant by a fungus Ustilaginoidea virens. The structure of 1b was assigned from its spectral property and its amino acid analysis in relation to 1a whose structure was determined previously by a combination of X-ray crystallograp...
