Insect-proof net cultivation (IPN), rice-duck farming (RD), and organic matter return (OM) are important methods to realize sustainable development of rice production. A split-plot field experiment was performed to study the effects of IPN, RD, and OM on the rice yield, dry matter accumulation and N utilization. Results showed that compared to inorganic N fertilizer (IN), wheat straw return, an...

The alpha' and beta subunits of soybean beta-conglycinin were expressed in rice seeds in order to improve the nutritional and physiological properties of rice as a food. The alpha' subunit accumulated in rice seeds at a higher level than the beta subunit, but no detectable difference in mRNA transcription level between subunits was observed. Sequential extraction results indicate that the alpha...

To investigate the effects of fertilization, tillage, and their interaction on maize yield, an experiment rice-maize was conducted 2018/19 2019/20 at Agriculture Forestry University (AFU), Rampur, Chitwan, Nepal. The in a split-plot with two establishment methods viz. (i) zero tillage followed after (fa) conventionally tilled dry direct seeded rice (ZT fa CT-DDSR) (ii) conventional puddled tran...

Adenine base editor (ABE) creates A to G transitions within its editing window. In the present study, an ABE was used target a stretch of six amino acid residues, VLFPNL in translation initiation factor four gamma (eIF4G) gene rice. Agrobacterium-mediated transformation rice cultivar ASD16 resulted T0 events with high mutation efficiency 89.29 %. Substitution mutations > occurred window eigh...

Thioredoxins (Trxs) are small ubiquitous oxidoreductase proteins with two redox-active Cys residues in a conserved active site (WCG/PPC) that regulate numerous target proteins via thiol/disulfide exchanges in the cells of prokaryotes and eukaryotes. The isoforms OsTrx23 with a typical active site (WCGPC) and OsTrx20 with an atypical active site (WCTPC) are two  Trx h- type isoforms in rice that ...

Wetland rice cultivation contributes significantly to global warming potential (GWP), an effect which is largely attributed emissions of methane (CH 4 ). Emerging technologies for wetland production such as conservation agriculture (CA) may mitigate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, but the effects are not well defined. Investigations were carried out in irrigated (Boro rice) field fifth crop aft...

We find that the minimum distance of the binary [137; 69] quadratic residue code is 21.

When farmers first shift from conventional tillage (CT) to conservation agriculture (CA) practices, the control of weeds may be more difficult, due absence tillage. However, continuous CA, over several years, alter weed seedbank. The nature seedbank changes time, in intensively cropped rice-based rotations that are typical Eastern Gangetic Plain, not well understood. Two on-farm CA experiments ...
