Drought is an enduring abiotic constraint to stable and consistent maize productivity under climate change, especially for low rainfall regions with limited irrigation. One adaptation severe drought using drought-tolerant (DT) hybrids. Here, we characterize differences between conventional DT hybrids in terms of yield water-use efficiency conditions at a regional scale the Texas High Plains (TH...

the stability of ten winter safflower cultivars and lines was evaluated in three different environmental conditions in karaj, isfahan and darab in iran, a randomized complete block design with 4 replications over three years (1995, 1996 and 1997). simple analysis of variances of grain and oil yields from each experiment showed significant differences among the genotypes. after conducting a homo...

Abstract Smallholders are a substantial part of the oil palm sector and thus key to achieving more sustainable production. However, so far their yields remain below potential. The Roundtable on Sustainable Oil Palm (RSPO) aims include smallholders in sustainability certification strengthen rural livelihoods reduce negative environmental impacts. This study determine if how certified perform dif...

seed and oil yields, its components and two physiological indices including leaf canopy temperature (tc) and relative water content (rwc) were evaluated in two spring oilseed rape cultivars (rgs 300 and hyola 401) under non-stressed and water deficit imposed during stem elongation, flowering and seed filing stages. the experiments were conducted as a factorial consisted of 2 factors including i...

Pyrolysis of Alcea pallida stems was performed in a fixed-bed tubular reactor with and without catalyst at three different temperatures. The effects of pyrolysis parameters including temperature and catalyst on the product yields were investigated. It was found that higher temperature resulted in lower liquid (bio-oil) and solid (bio-char) yields and higher gas yields. Catalysts had different e...

With a properly selected sowing time, the highest productivity of sweet corns is achieved. In conditions mountainous zone Kabardino-Balkaria, timing corn has not been studied, therefore, determining optimal time one most important issues in successful cultivation and obtaining high yields corn. our studies, influenced survival rate plants. Optimal favors dynamic growth development plants, root ...

We report two methods of surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) for hemozoin detection in malaria infected human blood. In the first method, silver nanoparticles were synthesized separately and then mixed with lysed blood; while in the second method, silver nanoparticles were synthesized directly inside the parasites of Plasmodium falciparum. It was observed that the first method yields a s...
