Abstract Boron is one of the essential micronutrients that important for cassava growth, which in formation starch, but research on effect boron plants still rarely reported. Therefore, aim this study was to know application starch content. The experiment conducted Tanjung Bintang District, South Lampung Regency, Province from February December 2020. Waxy clone used as planting material and 45%...

This report serves to document research conducted under a cooperative agreement between ARS and Iowa State University. Specific objectives of this research project are to (1) Develop and characterize hybrids using normal and waxy GEM lines to produce hybrids with improved yield and starch-ethanol conversion efficiency to increase ethanol yield; and (2) Develop healthy foods and healthy food ing...

We enzymatically modified rice starch to produce highly branched amylopectin and amylose and analyzed the resulting structural changes. To prepare the highly branched amylopectin cluster (HBAPC), we first treated waxy rice starch with Thermus scotoductus alpha-glucanotransferase (TSalphaGT), followed by treatment with Bacillus stearothermophilus maltogenic amylase (BSMA). Highly branched amylos...

Understanding the evaporation of pesticide droplets and wetting of leaf surfaces can increase foliar application efficiency and reduce pesticide use. Evaporation time and wetted area of single pesticide droplets on hairy and waxy geranium leaf surfaces were measured under the controlled conditions for five droplet sizes and three relative humidity levels. Stereoscopic sequential images of the d...

Interspecific hybridization events have been reported in the genus Spartina Schreb. (Poaceae), involving the east American species Spartina alterniflora, and including either introgression (e.g., with the western American Spartina foliosa) or allopolyploid speciation (e.g., with the Euro-African Spartina maritima). Molecular phylogenetic analysis of the genus has been undertaken in order to und...
