Sorghum serves as staple food for millions of people in Asia. It ranks as the sixth most planted crop and it is vulnerable to fungal diseases resulting in decreased grain quality and yield loss. Agrobacterium strains used were LBA4404 harbouring pcambia-ubi-chi11 (rice chitinase), EHA105 harbouring pcambia-ubi RC7 (rice chitinase) with bar gene and EHA105 harbouring pMKURF2 (rice chitinase gene...

Three strains of facultatively anaerobic thermotolerant and moderately halophilic bacteria were isolated from two Jordanian hot spring locations. The novel Bacillus strains were short rods, Gram-positive, motile and spore formers. The strains were capable of anaerobic (but not aerobic) growth at 63C, moderately halophilic, able to grow at NaCl concentration range of 12 15 % and at temperatures ...

Abstract We compare two welfare programs: the universal basic income (UBI) and negative tax (NIT). Under a linear system, we show that (i) NIT can replicate allocation of UBI exactly by providing an identical marginal effective schedule, (ii) budget is always smaller than UBI. According to our quantitative model, which calibrated approximate wealth distributions in United States, optimal pay ev...
