Life under the earth surface is highly challenging and associated with a number of morphological, physiological behavioral modifications. Subterranean niche protects animals from predators, fluctuations in environmental parameters, but characterized by high levels carbon dioxide low oxygen implies energy requirements burrowing. Moreover, it lacks most sensory inputs available above ground. The ...

Extensive green roofs are well known to improve the urban environment, but in Mediterranean regions, dry climatic conditions pose problem of their sustainability when no irrigation is applied. After planting or sowing 2012, 18 local plant species on different types exposure and substrate a non-irrigated extensive roof Avignon (South-Eastern France), physico-chemical characteristics soil, winter...

The development of new and implementation existing methods field assessment winter wheat genotypes is one the key tasks modern breeding. use screening in breeding allows breeder to get a more objective assessment, as well increase volume studied samples several times. time spring vegetation recovery (TSVR) stages period wheat. Biometric spectral with onset TSVR establishing how plants certain g...

Based on the electrophoretic spectrum, analysis, 216 genotypes of spring wheat were identified as belonging to 25 types including 18 types of HMW-glutenin for 188 homogeneous cultivars. Most of the spring wheat KASIB could be characterized by the subunits 2 * 7+9 5+10 (40% genotypes), and subunits 2* 7+9 2+12– (30%) and subunits 1*7+9 5+10– (8%). The diversity appears to be determined by varyin...

Background. Development of cultivars with high stable yields and grain quality is the main trend in wheat breeding. The aim this study was to characterize a set winter bread accessions from VIR collection working Kazan Scientific Center terms their yield, protein content (P, %), swelling flour acetic acid (S, ml), select best for combination these characters use crossbreeding program. Materials...

Coconut, Cocos nucifera L., in Tamil Nadu, India, was invaded by four whitefly (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) species between 2016 and 2019, increasing the total to six, along with Aleurodicus dispersus Russell Aleurocanthus arecae David Manjunatha. We examined complexity diversity of whiteflies coconut across different agroclimatic zones Nadu found high low damage levels at Veppankulam (70.4%) Rames...

The relevance of the subject matter lies in constant pursuit to improve and varieties common winter wheat by using various genetic resources breeding methods achieve better adaptability, higher productivity, superior grain quality. purpose study was expand diversity wheat, which combines high productivity adaptability for further context food security. research uses generally accepted their mod...

A comparison of the effectiveness and efficiency of gamma rays and ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS) for inducing mutation in chilli seeds of 10 different doses along with one respective control. Seeds were treated with 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 kR of gamma rays and 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 mM of ethyl methanesulfonate. The M1 generation was produced from these mutagen treated seeds. Several unique and int...
