Abstract Seasonal drought is the most important factor to limit the production of maize in the world. Using a split plot design, a two year field experiment was conducted to determine the effect of limited irrigation regime on yield, yield components and water use efficiency of sweet corn (Zea mays var. saccharata). Responses of three sweet corn varieties KSC403, Merit and Obsession to three di...

The general economic development in Asia has resulted in the reallocation of sweet potato utilization between pig feed and starch processing. In China, which produces 85% of the world’s sweet potato, about 45% is fed to pigs. Vietnam, the second largest world producer, allocates 75% to pig feed since sweet potato cannot compete with cassava as a raw material. Papua, Indonesia, does not occupy a...

The sense of taste is critical in determining the nutritional suitability of foods. Sweet and bitter are primary taste modalities in mammals, and their behavioral relevance is similar in flies. Sweet taste drives the appetitive response to energy sources, whereas bitter taste drives avoidance of potential toxins and also suppresses the sweet response [1, 2]. Despite their importance to survival...

the purpose of this research was to investigate the effectiveness of eclectic model based on acceptance and commitment therapy (act) and metacognitive therapy (mct) on symptoms in patient with pure generalized anxiety disorder. the research method was clinical experimentation with pre-posttest and control group. statistic community was all of the men and women patients that suffered from pure g...

to determine suitable pepper cultivars with high quantitative and qualitative characteristics adapted to the climate of sistan, an experiment was conducted in zahak experimental station, zabol, using rcbd with four replications in two years. in this experiment, four sweet pepper, five green pepper and three salad pepper cultivars were evaluated individually. the results showed significant diffe...

There is little information about the effects of ethephon ripening hormone on the yield of sweet sorghum in Thailand. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the impact of ethephon hormone applied at different growth stages of three cultivars of sweet sorghum on its growth and yield. The experiment was conducted from December 2016 to May 2017 at a research plot of the Faculty of Agricultural Te...

Sweet aspartyl di- and tripeptide esters were extended toward the N-terminus in relation to the structural features of sweet peptides. The sweet peptides were designed on the basis of the receptor site model. It was found that an extension of the sweet aspartyl dipeptide esters by adding a small D-amino acid residue mostly gave sweet compounds (e.g., D-Ala-L-Asp-D-Ala-OMe), although this signif...

A growing body of behavioral and genetic information indicates that taste perception and food sources are highly coordinated across many animal species. For example, sweet taste perception is thought to serve to detect and motivate consumption of simple sugars in plants that provide calories. Supporting this is the observation that most plant-eating mammals examined exhibit functional sweet per...
