The near-unity efficiency of energy transfer in photosynthesis makes photosynthetic light-harvesting complexes a promising avenue for developing new renewable energy technologies. Knowledge of the energy landscape of these complexes is essential in understanding their function, but its experimental determination has proven elusive. Here, the observation of quantum coherence using two-dimensiona...

Sesame is a leading oilseed crop known for its quality edible oil and byproducts. Mutation breeding an effective means of creating new genetic variability as certain desirable traits like uniform maturity, non-shattering capsules etc., do not exist in nature..The present study aimed to isolate high yielding early mutants sesame on the basis relationship between governing yield earliness. Gamma-...

Fruit flies (Diptera: Tephritidae) are considered to be major pests of mango (Mangifera indica) worldwide. Their management, with an increasing focus on replacing synthetic pesticides alternative pest control methods, is a challenging issue. A study was carried out from 2015 2017 in Reunion Island under field conditions order characterize the incidence fruit production and link fly infestation ...

1. There is increasing awareness that heavy harvesting can lead to rapid evolution towards earlier sexual maturation. With increased harvest pressure, individuals that begin reproduction at light weights have a greater chance of reproducing at least once compared with individuals that begin reproduction at heavier weights and hence later in life. Although well documented in fish, this has not b...

The object of this study was evaluation of a walking tractor drawn peanut harvester at different conditions of soil moisture content and forward speed and comparing it with manual harvesting. The evaluation factors for peanut harvester were two levels of soil moisture content and three levels of forward speed. The results revealed that the effect of soil moisture content was only significant on...

The management of IT carve-out projects is very challenging due to the strict time frame, the severe contractual penalties, the huge number of stakeholders and the various as well as unique IT tasks that have to be conducted. Up to now, there is no instrument for evaluating the readiness of the IT for a carve-out and also not for managing such a project. In order to address this, we develop a m...

• Pollination technique did not affect the physico-chemical quality of jackfruit flesh. Harvesting syncarp at 14 WAA is recommended if grower plans to sell within 50 km radius. The flesh was affected by ripening condition and weeks after anthesis techniques could fruit size, whereas optimal maturity stage during harvest postharvest life eating fruit. Therefore, right pollination timing an impor...

Background: Gambier has a problem with low production levels which is caused by the use of inferior quality plants that come from seeds. This study aims to determine optimal harvesting age for producing gambir seeds physiological quality. The maturity phase fruit became basis determining timescalation harvest count day after anthesis. research was carried out June December 2021. conducted at Se...
