Females homozygous for a mutation in cellular island (cei) produce embryos with defects in cytokinesis during early development. Analysis of the cytoskeletal events associated with furrow formation reveal that these defects include a general delay in furrow initiation as well as a complete failure to form furrow-associated structures in distal regions of the blastodisc. A linkage mapping-based ...

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 optimal management of water and nutrient could consider as effective on farm method to reduce pollution because agriculture is none point pollution. in this research, an optimal model was presented to reduce nitrate loss in furrow fertigation. the optimal model contains four simulation models for predicting runoff, deep percolation, nitrate concentration in runoff and nitrate concentra...

Infiltration phenomenon, has a direct impact on rainwater harvesting in fields under irrigation. In order to solve this problem (reduced infiltration and increased runoff), a few strategies can be suggested. Taking long-term decision for increasing the efficiency of irrigation should be strongly suggested. At the same time, ways in which customized irrigation is optimized must be studied. An ol...

BACKGROUND: Deficit irrigation strategies were effective in saving volume of water. Potassium is an essential nutrient that affects most of the biochemical and physiological processes are involved in plant resistance to biotic and a biotic stresses. OBJECTIVES: This study was conducted to assess effect of different pattern of irrigation and several source...

Furrow irrigation systems have a greater application capacity, are less costly, and use less energy than sprinkler systems but furrow irrigation produces greater runoff, erosion, and deep percolation losses. Phosphorus (P) and nitrogen (N) losses are associated with runoff sediment, and can be minimized by eliminating irrigationinduced erosion. Excessive leaching of inorganic and organic solute...

drip irrigation is the most efficient technique known for improving irrigation water management. a two-year study was conducted to determine the effects of drip and furrow irrigation methods on yield and quality of sugar beet in north of khuzestan. in the first year, the experimental design was a completely randomized block design with three replications. treatments were, three drip irrigation ...
