As a local environmental issue with global importance, land use/land cover change (LUCC) has always been one of the key issues in geography and environmental studies with the expansion of regional case studies. While most of LUCC studies in China have focused on urban land use change, meanwhile, compared with the rapid change of urban land use in the coastal areas of eastern China, slow but dis...

evaluation of carbon input is one of the most important factors for estimating soil carbon changes and potential for carbon sequestration. to evaluate the net primary productivity (npp) and soil carbon input in agricultural eco-systems of iran, data for yield, cultivated area, harvest index (hi) and shoot /root ratio in different crops including: wheat, barley, maize, cotton, rice, alfalfa and ...

The field experiment entitled “Response of Biofertilizers and Molybdenum on Growth Yield Attributes Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.)" was conducted during rabi, 2022 at Crop Research Farm in the Department Agronomy, Naini Agriculture Institute, Sam Higginbottom University Agriculture, Technology Sciences, Prayagraj Uttar Pradesh. layout Randomized Block Design (RBD). treatment consisted three leve...

Fire is becoming a pervasive driver of environmental change in Amazonia and is expected to intensify, given projected reductions in precipitation and forest cover. Understanding of the influence of post-deforestation land cover change on fires in Amazonia is limited, even though fires in cleared lands constitute a threat for ecosystems, agriculture, and human health. We used MODIS satellite dat...

a field experiment was conducted in khorramabad to evaluate the efficacy of 12 herbicides [ethalfloralin (3 l.ha-1), trifloralin (2 l.ha-1), pendimethalin (1.5-2.5 l.ha-1), imazethapyr (0.5-0.7 l.ha-1), isoxaflotole (80 g.ha-1), pyridate (2.5 l.ha-1), bentazon (2 l.ha-1), metribuzine (0.7 kg.ha -1), fomesafen (1 l.ha-1), simazine (80 g.ha-1), prometrine (830 g.ha-1), haloxyfop-r-methyl (1 l.ha-...

The present study reports the large-scale discovery of genome-wide single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in chickpea, identified mainly through the next generation sequencing of two genotypes, i.e. Cicer arietinum ICC4958 and its wild progenitor C. reticulatum PI489777, parents of an inter-specific reference mapping population of chickpea. Development and validation of a high-throughput SNP ge...

Calcium (Ca) is one of the most abundant inorganic elements in the human body and has many important physiological roles. Prebiotics and bioactive peptides are two important substances used to promote calcium uptake. However, the difference in mechanisms of the calcium uptake from these two supplements is not clear. By using the Gallus gallus model and the intra-amniotic administration procedur...

The Heliothinae complex in Argentina encompasses Helicoverpa gelotopoeon (Dyar), Helicoverpa zea (Boddie), Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner), and Chloridea virescens (Fabricius). In Tucumán, the native species H. gelotopoeon is one of the most voracious soybean pests and also affects cotton and chickpea, even more in soybean-chickpea succession cropping systems. Differentiation of the Heliothinae c...

To estimate the genetic diversity of chickpea germplasm from Iran, a total of 307 landraces from 4 regions including: northern areas (29 from Ardebil, 3 from Qazvin and 5 from Mazanderan provinces), temperate (16 from Kermanshah, 2 from Semnan, 54 from Khorasan and 20 from Kerman provinces), semi-arid (28 from Ghom and 56 from Isfahan provinces) and cold areas (15 from West Azarbayjan, 52 from ...

Domain swapping and generation of chimeric insecticidal crystal protein is an emerging area of insect pest management. The lepidopteran insect pest, gram pod borer (Helicoverpa armigera H.) wreaks havoc to chickpea crop affecting production. Lepidopteran insects were reported to be controlled by Bt (cryI) genes. We designed a plant codon optimized chimeric Bt gene (cry1Aabc) using three domains...
