If the carbon dioxide (CO(2)) concentration in the atmosphere changes in the future, as predicted, it could influence crops and insect pests. The growth and development of the tobacco caterpillar, Spodoptera litura (Fabricius) (Noctuidae: Lepidoptera), reared on peanut (Arachis hypogea L.) foliage grown under elevated CO(2) (550 ppm and 700 ppm) concentrations in open top chambers at Central Re...

Bu çalışmada, yerfıstığı (Arachis hypogea L.) çeşitlerinin (Arıoğlu-2003 ve Gazipaşa) bazı büyüme fizyolojik parametreleri üzerine tuz stresinin (0, 100, 200 mM NaCl) etkisi araştırılmıştır. Deneme, Tesadüf Parselleri Deneme Deseni’ ne göre faktöriyel düzende 3 tekerrürlü olarak tam kontrollü iklim odasında yürütülmüştür. Araştırma sonucunda; gövde uzunluğu, kök yaş kuru ağırlığı istatistiksel ...

Using 454 pyrosequencing, we characterized for the first time the associated microbial community of the deep-sea carnivorous Demosponge Asbestopluma hypogea (Cladorhizidae). Targeting the 16S rRNA gene V3 and V6 hypervariable regions, we compared the diversity and composition of associated microbes of two individual sponges of A. hypogea freshly collected in the cave with surrounding seawater a...

Accepted: 21/10/2014 Abstract Aflatoxins are toxic metabolites of fungi mainly Aspergillus flavus and A. parasiticus, which cause immune system suppression, liver cancer or even death. In present study different doses of gamma irradiation were used to reduce aflatoxin content in peanut, and the effect of irradiation on shelf life and seed viability was evaluated. The irradiation dose for total ...

Background: Bacterial bioinoculate is one of environmentally friendly input for crop production. Several works revealed that effectiveness of Rhizobium bioinoculant have been affected by the native rhizobia population. Hence, this study was initiated to evaluate the effect of selected Bradyrhizobium in nodulating peanut in the major growing areas of Ethiopia. Methods: The effect of eight effect...
