Gossypium herbaceum, a cultivated diploid cotton species (2n = 2x = 26, A1A1), has favorable traits such as excellent drought tolerance and resistance to sucking insects and leaf curl virus. G. australe, a wild diploid cotton species (2n = 2x = 26, G2G2), possesses numerous economically valuable characteristics such as delayed pigment gland morphogenesis (which is conducive to the production of...

In the present study, synthetic seed production of medicinally important plant Enicostema axillare through nodal and root explants were attempted. plantlets germinated seeds using in vitro explants. Synthetic prepared from 3% Na+ 100mm calcium chloride was optimum concentration for uniform compact synseed formation. Alginate beads containing derived successfully entrapped with sodium alginate h...

Brassica napus was synthesized by hybridization between its diploid progenitor species B. rapa and B. oleracea followed by chromosome doubling. Cross with B. rapa as a female parent was only successful. Among three colchicine treatments (0.10, 0.15, and 0.20%), 0.15% gave the highest success (86%) of chromosome doubling in the hybrids (AC; 2n = 19). Synthetic B. napus (AACC, 2n = 38) was identi...

Crop production is threatened by the increased nitrogen (N) input and declining N use efficiency (NUE). Information on total N input from planted seeds/tubers, atmospheric deposition, irrigation water, crop residues, animal manure, biological N fixation, and synthetic N fertilizer and NUE based on these N inputs in China’s crop production is limited. We calculated the amount of various N inputs...

Coagulation-flocculation followed by sedimentation and filtration is the most commonly used water treatment process , in which turbidity or particles removal is strongly dependent on proper coagulant dosage, effect of pH ,effect of time, jar test and settling column tests were perform. In the method the seeds were treated with different solvents of NaCl and NaOH to extract the active coagulant ...

Rice grains are rich in starch but low in protein with very low level of both lysine and threonine. Thus, it is important to further improve protein quality and quantity, especially to increase lysine and threonine content in rice grains. We artificially synthesized two new genes by fusing endogenous rice genes with lysine (K)/threonine (T) motif (TKTKK) coding sequences. They were designated a...

Abstract Seeds associated to fungal pathogens are efficient vehicles for disease dissemination in the field. Such affect seed quality and longevity, causing a decrease or loss of germination, discoloration, necrosis, decay, addition leading production mycotoxins some pathosystems. To control them several synthetic chemicals used. Nevertheless, use poses risk human health environment. Therefore,...

In complex network analysis, fuzzy community detection is a challenging task that aims to reveal the network structure by assigning each vertex quantitative membership-degrees to various communities. In this paper, we propose a fuzzy community detection method that iteratively propagates membership-degrees of all vertices. In each iteration, a candidate seed vertex of a potential community is f...

In prostate brachytherapy, transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) is used to visualize the anatomy, while implanted seeds can be seen in C-arm fluoroscopy. Intra-operative dosimetry optimization requires reconstruction of the implanted seeds from multiple C-arm fluoroscopy images, which in turn requires estimation of the C-arm poses. We estimate the pose of the C-arm by two-stage registration between th...

Development of more effective and less toxic antifungal agents is required for the treatment of fungal diseases of plants and human being. The medicinal plants and their various extracts have been used as medicines against infectious diseases and found as potent against crops as well as human pathogenic fungal stains. In this study, the antifungal activity of O. europaea (cultivated olive) leav...
