A study on genetic diversity and principal component analysis (PCA) in a set of 90 fertility restorer lines rice was conducted to identify potential parents for producing high-yielding hybrids. The D2 statistics uncovered the maximum inter-cluster distance between clusters having different genotypes. genotypes PS 2, PRR 828, JR-4322-2, JR-4322-2 belonging these diversified gene pools may produc...

On-farm experiments (24) were conducted in two seasons to assess the influence of sulfur impurity triple-super phosphate (TSP) on wheat. The laid-out completely randomized block design triplicate. Nutrients investigated include: Nitrogen (N), (S) and phosphorus (P). TSP is tested contain about 2 6% as impurity. However, wheat did not show response from TSP. Though, it was statistically signific...

This paper incorporates a rich set of physical water quality attributes, as well as site and household characteristics, into a model of recreational lake usage in Iowa. Our analysis shows individuals are responsive to physical water quality measures. Willingness-to-pay estimates are reported based on improvements in these measures.

In today's healthcare system, there is an imbalance between what patients expect of caregivers' care and their perception of the care they get. How is it possible to reduce this imbalance? The aim of this paper was to describe attributes associated with meaningful encounters in the Swedish healthcare system based on patients' and caregivers' written narratives and to note the differences and si...

sericulture has played a very important role in the socio-economic empowerment of rural and semi-urban population. the eco-friendly nature of the industry, in addition to its employment generation potential, low investments and frequent returns, has rendered the industry as one of the most suitable land based economic activity, particularly in the context of global movement against environmenta...

Sour oranges (Citrus aurantium L.) are well known in the processing and cosmetics industries for aromatic properties of their essential oils. Intercultivar genetic diversity is not documented. The objective this study was to evaluate impact morphological selection mechanisms varietal diversification (mutation or hybridization) on odor variability sour orange Forty-five accessions from INRAE-CIR...

Background and Aims Terpenes are major varietal aroma compounds significantly contributing to wine quality style. Autochthonous microbial starters can promote the formation release of terpenes thus highlight terroir typicality wines. This study compared physicochemical parameters, changes in terpene concentration, β-D-glucosidase activity sensory attributes Chardonnay wines fermented individual...
