Salinity is one of the major environmental constraints affecting agriculture in regions world. This study was conducted to evaluate effect exogenous nitric oxide (NO) treatments on two chickpea cultivars (Cagatay and Inci) under salt stress conditions. Different NO doses (0. 75 100 μM sodium nitroprusside (SNP)) as an source were applied plants grown saline (presence 50 mM NaCl) nonsaline In th...

The committee on text processing technology of JEIDA (Japan Electronics Industry Development Association) has been developing its bilingual corpus for research on machine translation systems since the 1996 Japanese fiscal year. An overview of this bilingual corpus is presented in this paper. And other linguistic data recently developed in Japan, which includes the RWC text database and the simp...

Jodhpur is the second largest district in state of Rajasthan. With growth population numbers vehicles along with industries have increased which affecting air quality Jodhpur. Plants a very close relationship nature and they act as sink for reducing pollution. Impact pollution on two plants namely Tabernaemontana Sesbania (vegetable humming bird tree) from heavy industrial area si...

We examined the extent of osmotic adjustment and the changes in relative water content (RWC) and transpiration rate (i.e., relative stomatal function) that occur in water-deficit-conditioned 6-year-old Thuja occidentalis L. (eastern white cedar) trees in response to a severe drought. Trees conditioned by successive cycles of mild or moderate nonlethal water stress (conditioning) and nonconditio...

BACKGROUND Salt stress is a major factor limiting plant growth and productivity. Salicylic acid (SA) has been shown to ameliorate the adverse effects of environmental stress on plants. To investigate the protective role of SA in ameliorating salt stress on Torreya grandis (T. grandis) trees, a pot experiment was conducted to analyze the biomass, relative water content (RWC), chlorophyll content...

o investigate the role of selenomethionine (SeMet) in regulating drought tolerance strawberry plants, we explored effects SeMet on antioxidative enzymes, water physiology and fruit quality plants under stress (DS). In this study, used variety ‘Sweet Charlie’ as material investigated through foliar spraying pot experiments. The results showed that DS obviously enhanced activities antioxidant enz...

Weed control is one of the most important technological operations to ensure crop yield and quality in ecological sugar beet production. However, conventional mechanical weed labor- time-intensive has adverse effects on soil environment. The aim this study was experimentally investigate influence robotic systems properties assess effectiveness these different methods This examines two systems: ...

A procedure to remove vibrato from singing voice was proposed to enable auditory morphing between musical performances played under different conditions. Analyses of singing samples in the RWC music database using a speech analysis, modification and synthesis system STRAIGHT provided necessary information to implement “senza vibrato,” the procedure that removes vibrato. A preliminary subjective...

Limited data are available on the sulfur (S)-mediated-alleviation of aluminum (Al)-toxicity in higher plants. Citrus grandis seedlings were irrigated for 18 weeks with 0.5 mM MgSO₄ or 0.5 mM MgSO₄ + 0.5 mM Na₂SO₄, and 0 (-Al) or 1 mM AlCl₃·6H₂O (+Al, Al-toxicity). Under Al-toxicity, S decreased the level of Al in leaves; increased the relative water content (RWC) of roots and leaves, the conten...

Water relations of Engelmann spruce (Picea engelmannii Parry) and subalpine fir (Abies lasiocarpa (Hook.) Nutt.) trees growing at an elevation of 3230 m on Mt. Evans, Colorado, USA, were studied during the winters of 1995-1996 and 1996-1997. During both winters, current-year and 1-year-old shoots were collected weekly and their relative water contents (RWC) determined. Measured meteorological p...
