Abstract In a controlled environment experiment, we studied how physiological changes in leaves during the vegetative phase regulate final grain yield of wheat crops salt-affected soils. We also hypothesized that amendments such as biochar (SB) and selenium-chitosan nanoparticles (Se-NPs) can protect plants from salt injury. 20-day-old were submitted to 4-week stress (3000 ppm NaCl). Soybean st...

Postembryonic shoot development in maize (Zea mays L.) is divided into a juvenile vegetative phase, an adult vegetative phase, and a reproductive phase that differ in the expression of many morphological traits. A reduction in the endogenous levels of bioactive gibberellins (GAs) conditioned by any one of the dwarf1, dwarf3, dwarf5, or anther ear1 mutations in maize delays the transition from j...

as compared to ksc 704 hybrid with 9.844 t/ha, the maize hybrid, ksc 705(k3640/3 × mo17) produced an average grain yield of 11.120 t/ha over seven locations evaluated in final trials for two consecutive years (2007-8). in advanced yield trials done in 2011, across seven locations, this hybrid performed the highest grain yield, 10.450 t/ha, while ksc 704 produced 8.513 t/ha. in addition to the g...

This paper conducts a two-period dynamic analysis of sourcing mode choices for e-commerce projects implemented by large firms during 1999–2002. We 48 KISHORE, AGRAWAL, AND RAO differentiate e-commerce assets that are the focus of a sourcing decision in terms of whether they are in the growth or maturity stages. We also consider hybrid governance mechanisms, such as minority equity arrangements,...

BACKGROUND Good decision-making requires gathering and using sufficient information. Several knowledge translation platforms have been introduced in Burkina Faso to support evidence-informed decision-making. One of these is the rapid response service for health. This platform aims to provide quick access for policy-makers in Burkina Faso to highquality research evidence about health systems. Th...

Social conditions experienced prior to sexual maturity influence reproduction later in life in many animals. In simultaneous hermaphrodites variation in mating group size influences reproductive investment. As the mating group size increases, reproductive resources devoted to the female function decrease in favor of the male function. Prior to sexual maturity many hermaphrodites have a protandr...

In recent years the macadamia [Macadanmia ternifolia F. von Mueller, var. integrifolia (Maiden and Betche) Maiden] has assumed increasing commercial importance in the Hawaiian Islands. The Hawaii Agricultural Experiment Station has placed emphasis on establishing varieties and developinig improved cultural practices, and toward the latter end it has becoine desirable to secure knowledge concern...

In plants, phase change from the juvenile stage to maturity involves physiological and anatomical changes, which are initiated controlled by evolutionary highly conserved microRNAs. This process is of particular significance for in vitro propagation woody plant species, as individuals or tissues that have undergone transition vegetative recalcitrant propagation. Conserved miRNAs differentially ...

Plant hormones play important roles in seed development; however, transcriptional regulation of their metabolism and levels the respective bioactive forms during barley development is poorly understood. To this end, study performed a comprehensive analysis changes expression patterns phytohormone genes embryo endosperm tissues. Our showed presence elevated abscisic acid (ABA), gibberellins (GAs...
