Response to the insect hormone ecdysone is mediated by a nuclear receptor complex containing Ultraspiracle (USP) and the Ecdysone Receptor (EcR). Among other phenotypes, loss of functional USP in Drosophila eye development results in an accelerated morphogenetic furrow, although loss of ecdysone arrests the furrow. We have shown that USP both represses and activates a gene affecting furrow move...

ABSTRACT- Maize production, which is ranked after wheat and barely in Fars province, Iran, needs a considerable amount of irrigation water that is not available in scarce water conditions in drought situations. Therefore, proper planting method can improve irrigation water management. The objectives of the present study were to investigate the effects of two planting methods, on-bed and in furr...

Animal cells decide where to build the cytokinetic apparatus by sensing the position of the mitotic spindle. Reflecting a long-standing presumption that a furrow-inducing stimulus travels from spindle to cortex via microtubules, debate continues about which microtubules, and in what geometry, are essential for accurate cytokinesis. We used live imaging in urchin and frog embryos to evaluate the...

Sesame is an erect herbaceous annual plant with both single-stemmed and branched growth habits. seed yield easily affected by soil moisture stress in semi-arid climate. Good vertisol management options that conserve during dry spell period drain excess wet periods vital. Study area has limited rainfall therefore evidences on effect of land configuration ways sesame critical. A field investigati...

A field study was initiated to evaluate a 3and 5-day furrow-irrigation schedule in a rice-production system. Averaged across furrow-irrigation schedules, ‘XL723’ height was greater than ‘Cybonnet’ in July and August of the growing season; however, panicle number was greater for Cybonnet than XL723. Yield components (spikelets, total kernels, and total filled kernels/panicle) and rough-rice yiel...

Assessing the impact of planting methods and irrigation levels is needed to determine effects on maize root morphological traits, grain yield, water productivity in semi-arid regions. A study was initiated (Zea mays L.) from 2015 2016, including three [i.e. broad bed furrow (BBF), shallow narrow (SNF) deep wider (DWF)] four once ten days (I10D), at 40% depletion available soil moisture (DASM, I...

A field experiment was conducted during the Rabi season of 2020-21 and 2021-22. The laid out in split-split plot design with 27 treatment combination comprising three moisture conservation practices viz. flat bed 2.5 t/ha crop residue, narrow furrow t ha-1 residue broad main seed inoculation control, rhizobium PSB sub zinc level kg Zn 5.0 sub-sub plot. Result shows that produced significantly a...

Limited water availability in future due to climate change may impact wheat yield and the food security. Therefore, it is necessary find out agronomic solutions reduce drought induce losses wheat. Planting method affects by changing soil status root growth. This 2-year study was designed evaluate of various planting methods along-with irrigation deficit regimes at different growth stages on net...
