BACKGROUND Variations in sugar yield due to genotypic qualities of feedstock are largely undescribed for pilot-scale ethanol processing. Our objectives were to compare glucose and xylose yield (conversion and total sugar yield) from straw of five winter wheat cultivars at three enzyme loadings (2.5, 5 and 10 FPU g-1 dm pretreated straw) and to compare particle size distribution of cultivars aft...

Expressed Sequence Tag (EST) analysis has pioneered genome-wide gene discovery and expression profiling. In order to establish a gene expression index in the rice cultivar indica, we sequenced and analyzed 86,136 ESTs from nine rice cDNA libraries from the super hybrid cultivar LYP9 and its parental cultivars. We assembled these ESTs into 13,232 contigs and leave 8,976 singletons. Overall, 7,49...

Soybean germplasm exhibits various levels of resistance to Fusarium tucumaniae, the main causal agent of sudden death syndrome (SDS) of soybean in Argentina. In this study, two soybean genotypes, one susceptible (NA 4613) and one partially resistant (DM 4670) to SDS infection, were inoculated with F. tucumaniae. Disease symptoms were scored at 7, 10, 14, and 25 days post-inoculation (dpi). The ...

in order to evaluate the impact of time of weed control on yield and yield components of two rapeseed cultivars (zarfam and opra) two separate experiments based on each cultivar conducted at shahryar (karaj). the experiment was carried out based on rcbd with three replications and six treatments for each cultivar. treatments were exerted on the different phenological growth stages including the...

Abstract Sowing date and seed rate influence crop establishment, growth, yield profitability. The growth of field beans (Vicia faba) in response to sowing was examined over three seasons, 2016–2019, Teagasc, Oak Park, Carlow, Ireland. Early winter sowings (October) established better than late November January. No significant difference found establishment from mid-February mid-March. Yield gen...

buffering capacity, that is, its ability to adapt to variable weather, insect, disease, weed, and soil conditions. Ways Genetic diversity in cropping systems can provide buffering against to improve a crop’s buffering capacity include intravarying environmental conditions. Therefore, cultivar blends may have greater and more stable yields than their pure-line components. population interplant b...

Pomegranate (Punica granatum L.), Lythraceae, is mainly grown in Mediterranean region. It is one of the major cultivated productions of Iran, which have been used in folk medicine for many centuries. It has been proved that pomegranate has a high antioxidant activity and is effective in the prevention of atherosclerosis. This study compares the antioxidant activity, total phenolic and flavonoid...
