A high survival rate for transformed papaya plants when transferred to the field is useful in the quest for improving the commercial quality traits. We report in this paper an improved rooting method for the production of transformed Malaysian Eksotika papaya with high survival rate when transferred to the field. Shoots were regenerated from embryogenic calli transformed with antisense and RNAi...

The pyrolysis of medlar seeds was performed at 350, 450, 550, and 650 °C with without K2CO3, MgO, expanded perlite (10 wt%). maximum dichloromethane extract yield (6.70 wt%) obtained 450 in the experiments catalyst, while bio-oil (50.3 presence perlite. yields decreased noticeably use MgO K2CO3. bio-oils from non-catalytic runs mainly consisted phenolic compounds. catalysts had a noticeable eff...

The most common cause of a household gas explosion in residential area is leak from the stove burner. Even small amount can fire with subsequent uncontrolled combustion. number explosions on territory Russian Federation multi-apartment buildings associated leakage growing every year. As result analysis designs existing stoves and main causes leakage, hypothesis was put forward, suggesting that ...

Before acclimatization of Bowiea volubilis, in vitro propagated bulbs were cleaned and separated into four sizes (from 6 to 15 mm). We formed a total 10 groups with 30-30 individuals, distributing the evenly. Four types substrate (peat, perlite, coconut fiber, sand) their mixtures 50-50% used. Previously we examined three parameters: length, diameter weight bulbs; later successfully acclimatize...

The optimization of micropropagation for blueberries is crucial due to the growing blueberry industry and demand plantlets. This study focused on four stages: explant sterilization, in vitro establishment, proliferation, ex rooting, aiming establish an efficient propagation system southern highbush cultivar ‘ZY09’. most effective sterilization method was a 60 s treatment with 75% ethanol 5 min ...

The addition of inorganic expanded aggregates, such as perlite or vermiculite is well known in gypsum plasters. However, the reuse organic wastes coatings like plasters and renders has been poorly studied. This paper shows effect tire rubber on mechanical properties fire performance waste was added to mixture mass percentages 14.50% (C1) 46.60% (C2). Flexural compressive strength made with visi...

This experiment was conducted to study the effect of cocopeat: perlite medium with three ratios (v/v) (1:1, 3:1 and 1:3) on some vegetative, flowering and biochemical parameters of two gladiolus cultivars (Strong and White) under soilless conditions in 2016. Data indicated that most vegetative parameters expressed as plant height, leaf number and leaf area, flowering parameter such as spike eme...
