Salt stress is one of most serious limiting factors for crop growth and production. An isobaric Tags for Relative and Absolute Quantitation (iTRAQ) approach was used to analyze proteomic changes in rice shoots under salt stress in this study. A total of 56 proteins were significantly altered and 16 of them were enriched in the pathways of photosynthesis, antioxidant and oxidative phosphorylatio...

The paper has quantified the benefits of SRI over non-SRI practices of rice cultivation in Tamil Nadu. The SRI practices have been found to save inputs substantially and to increase returns. Higher return has been attributed to increase in production as well as substantial reduction in cost of cultivation. The most impressive are the savings in water (22-39 per cent ) and seed (92 per cent). Th...

there are different methods used for threshing of grain crops. usual threshers operate based on the impact force (in threshing unit) that may damage the grains. in another method named axial-flow, grain damage is less so these types of the harvesting machines are being used more than before. in this study one of the common rice threshers (model t30) locally made in ashtad company was modified t...

background leptospirosis is a widespread zoonosis in the world with more prevalence in tropical and subtropical regions. the disease is very common in flat area of gilan, northern iran, where the climate is humid and temperate and rice farming is main agricultural activity in rural areas. patients and methods we performed this study in 2004 by taking blood samples from 465 hospitalized patients...

We introduce the notion of a matron M = {Mn,m} whose submodules M∗,1 and M1,∗ are non-Σ operads. We construct a functor from PROP to matrons and its inverse, the universal enveloping functor. We define the free matron H∞, generated by a singleton in each bidegree (m, n) 6= (1, 1), and define an A∞-bialgebra as an algebra over H∞. We realize H∞ as the cellular chains of polytopes {KKn,m = KKm,n}...

Pangari activity is a mutual cooperation in farming carried out by the Dayak people West Kalimantan. However, there no scientific information that examines use of plants pangari activities Ribun Suka Gerundi Village, Parindu District, Sanggau Regency. Therefore, this research was with aim finding how were people, identifying types plants, proportions plant organ parts, and benefits forms organs...

the aim of this study was to determine the most suitable shaking frequency and amplitude for shake harvesting lime fruit (c. aurantifolia). a tractor mounted limb shaker with adjustable shaking frequency and amplitude, powered by the tractor power-take-off shaft was designed and developed for this study. the rotating input power was transmitted to the shaker flywheel through a multiple sheave v...

Calocybe indica, known as milky white mushroom, grows and cultivated in the sub-tropical and temperate zones of South Asia. We investigated the most suitable supplements and their levels for the commercial cultivation of milky white mushroom. Rice bran, maize powder, and wheat bran with their different levels (10, 20, 30, 40, and 50%) were used as supplements to evaluate the yield and yield con...

Rice Bran wax is obtained from natural sources and is abundantly available in the country. Rice bran wax is suitable for use in chocolate enrobes, as an enteric coating for candy and lozenges, as a plasticizing material in chewing gums etc. Present study attempts to find if rice bran wax is useful as ointment base. The oleaginous type ointment base is prepared by using rice bran wax and evaluat...
