It is an increased interest in the therapeutic potential of Cannabis sativa L. (marijuana) for treatment of multiple sclerosis and HIV neuropathy. Because of limitation in cultivation of this plant, an efficient hairy root induction system for Cannabis sativa L. was developed in the present study. Agrobacterium rhizogenes mediated transformation performed by two different co-cultivation mediums...

Xanthan gum is an extracellular hetero polysaccharides of many industrial applications and produced by Xanthomonas campestris. This biopolymer is produced as extracellular product in submerged fermentation system. The production of xanthan was influenced by the concentration in glucose in medium. The maximal volumetric production of 17.9 g L was obtained in 80 g L glucose culture in shake flask...

An efficient Agrobacterium-mediated durum wheat transformation system has been developed for the production of 121 independent transgenic lines. This improved system used Agrobacterium strain AGL1 containing the superbinary pGreen/pSoup vector system and durum wheat cv Stewart as the recipient plant. Acetosyringone at 400 microM was added to both the inoculation and cultivation medium, and picl...

Using Telser and Kataoka models of probabilistic-risky mathematical programming, the present research is to determine the optimized pattern of cultivating the agricultural products of Shoshtar region under risky conditions. In order to consider the risk in the mentioned models, time period of agricultural years 1996-1997 till 2004-2005 was taken into account. Results from Telser and Kataoka mod...

According to the demand for applied innovative talents of the railway industry and enterprises, based on the railway specialized characteristics advantage of the East China Jiaotong University, and in accordance with the system engineering thoughts as “setting training objectives, setting up training standards, building course system, reforming teaching methods and perfecting security system”, ...

Genotype by environment interaction (GxE) influences and complicates the selection of superior genotypes in trials by confounding the determination of true genetic values. Trials therefore need to be planted over several locations and seasons. The South African Sugarcane Research Institute (SASRI) operates seven regional breeding programmes representing the major agro-climatic regions of the su...

Cultivation of innovative talents has already been the focus of education research, in this paper; we research the innovation and entrepreneurship education system, constructing the index system of innovation and entrepreneurship education for college students. Using the analytic hierarchy process and gray theory, we studied the quantitative evaluation of innovation and entrepreneurship educati...

A low-input cropping system has been developed at Yurimiaguas, Peru, to serve as a transition technology between shifting and continuous cultivation for acid soiln of the humid tropics. Principal features are slash-andburn clearing, rotation of acid-tolerant upland rice and cowpea cultivars, maximum residue return, no tillage, and no lime or fertilizer apoiications. When yields decline as a res...
