Biological carbon sequestration is considered an important strategy to mitigate climate change. The energy crop Miscanthus × giganteus has great potential. objective of this study was determine: a) the dry matter yield and content in aboveground belowground biomass; b) total balance plant soil pool. conducted continental Croatia (N 45°51′01.32″; E 16°10′35.85″) by destructive harvesting five-ye...

A field experiment was carried out at Crop Research Farm, during Rabi 2021, Department of Agronomy, SHUATS, Prayagraj (Uttar Pradesh) to study the effects biofertilizers and potassium on yield economics yellow mustard. Biofertilizers (Azotobacter, Phosphate-Solubilizing Bacteria) Potassium levels (35, 40 45 kg/ha) were organized in a Randomized Block Design experiment. The treatment with Azotob...

The experiment was conducted at Dobila, Tarash of Shirajgonj in Chalan Beel during rabi season 2016-17 and 2017-18. treatments were four wheat varieties viz. ‘BARI Gom-25’, Gom-26’, Gom-28’ Gom-30’. Wheat var. Gom-30’ produced the highest grain yield (5.02 t/ha 4.83 2017-18 with pooled value 4.93 t/ha) associated higher number spikes/m2 (372-444/m2 408/m2) grains/spike (pooled 45/spike). requir...

A field experiment was conducted in two consecutive years to find out the efficacy of poultry refuse (PR), mustard oilcake (MOC), and Furadan 5G for the management of root-knot disease (Meloidogyne incognita) of tomato. Soil was treated with PR @ 3 and 5 t/ha, MOC @ 0.3 and 0.6 t/ha 3 weeks before transplanting and Furadan 5G @ 40 kg/ha on the day of transplanting of tomato seedlings. PR @ 3 t/...

Field experiment on Tomato-Okra-Indian spinach cropping pattern was conducted at a farmer’s homestead of Tangail (AEZ 8) during 2007-08 and 2008-09 to find out a suitable combination of chemical fertilizers and organic manure for sustainable crop yield. There were 5 treatments comprising different percentages of the recommended chemical fertilizers (RCF) with two levels (0 and 5 t/ha) for tomat...

BACKGROUND Influenza-virus hemagglutinin (HA) protein expressed in insect cells by recombinant baculovirus is a candidate influenza vaccine. METHODS In a randomized, double-blind trial conducted in 399 adults > or = 65 years of age, the efficacy of trivalent inactivated influenza vaccine (TIV) licensed for intramuscular injection was compared with that of trivalent baculovirus-expressed HA va...

Hyaluronan (HA) is a glycosaminoglycan composed of N-acetylglucosamine and glucuronic acid subunits. Previous studies have suggested that CD44 expressed by T cells bind exogenous HA for their proliferation. However, HA endogenously synthesized by T cells may participate in their autocrine proliferation. In this study, we examined the role of endogenous HA in T cell proliferation using the highl...

Lymphohematopoiesis, cell matrix adhesion, homing of leukocytes, T cell activation, and tumor metastasis are mediated through the CD44 family of cell surface receptors. We have recently shown that anti-CD44 mAb trigger protein tyrosine kinase-dependent activation of T cell effector functions. Here, we show that hyaluronate (HA), a CD44 ligand, in conjunction with CD3/TCR-mediated stimuli, is co...

This study aimed to evaluate six cauliflower genotypes regarding their resistance to black rot and their production performance. To do so, it was conducted two field experiments in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil, in 2012 and 2013. It was used a randomized block design, with four replications (total of 24 plots). Each plot consisted of three planting lines 2.5 m long (six plants/line), spaced 1.0 m apar...
