Effects of water stress and foliar boron (FB) application on soybean (Glycine max (L) Merr.) seed composition and nitrogen metabolism have not been well investigated. Therefore, the objective of this study was to investigate the effects of water stress and FB on seed protein, oil, fatty acids, nitrate reductase activity (NRA), and nitrogenase activity (NA). A repeated greenhouse experiment was ...

It is wel known that the homeland of Melon (Cucumis melo), which a one-year reptile body, belonging to Cucurbitaceae family, Asia. Iran, Caucasus, Turkey, Afghanistan and melon species are encountered in wild Turkistan form believed it was spread world from regions concerned. fly, Myiopardalis pardalina (Bigot, 1891) (Diptera:Tephrtidae) one most important pests grown areas Southeastern Anatoli...

The seed coat of Pisum elatius is normally impermeable to water. When seeds are dried in the absence of oxygen their coats are totally permeable to water. Structural differences are observed between permeable and impermeable seed coats. In the genus Pisum, species with normally impermeable seed coats have a high content of phenolics and of catechol oxidase, while seed coats of P. sativum contai...

Genetic assessment was carried out on three Italian melon accessions by sequence and structural analysis of the internal transcribed spacer 1 (ITS1) from three populations belonging to two Cucumis melo L. varieties (madras and tendral). Alignment of the 18S-5.8S-26S sequences from three melon accessions showed that there were three single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and one short insertion-...

In this paper we introduce MELON, a new communication paradigm tailored to mobile ad hoc networks, based on novel interactions with a distributed shared message store. MELON provides removeonly, read-only, and private messages, as well as bulk message operations. The dynamic nature of MANETs is addressed with persistent messages, completely distributed message storage, and flexible communicatio...

In maize (Zea mays L.) large decreases in kernel number result when low water potentials (Psi(w)) and high temperatures occur during pollination. To gain insight into the basis for the decreased seed set, silk, pollen, and ear-leaf Psi(w), the capability for silk osmotic adjustment, and pollen appearance were measured to determine their relationship to seed set. A multiple-eared or prolific (hi...

Wet noodles with the addition of boiled water for bitter melon are made from high protein flour, salt, eggs, and melon. The purpose this study was to determine effect adding different percentages on chemical properties (antioxidant capacity, total flavonoids, content) physical (color elongation). This used a completely randomized design experimental method three treatments, namely fruit by 60%,...

Soil fertility management is a major challenge in high humid tropical regions of Nigeria. Field experiment were conducted at National Cereals Research Institute, Uyo Out-Station 2011 and 2012 to investigate the response egusi melon (Colocynthis citrullus) different rates OBRA (1,2,3,4, 5 6 t/ha) 200kg/haNPK as recommended rate inorganic fertilizer for study area. The was laid out randomized com...

Charcoal rot diseases of melon caused by Macrophomina phaseolina is one of the most important diseases of melon occurring in regions with variable climate. Reduction of yield of melon by this disease has been reported up to 100% in some of Garmsar field. Salinity which can cause the important trouble in plant metabolism and nutrition is present in Semnan and Garmsar areas. Melon is susceptible ...
