there is substantial diversity in achillea biebersteinii plants in iran. it has considerable different biological activities including antibacterial, antifungal, antioxidant, insecticidal, herbicidal and wound healing. research improvement for medicinal plants depends on the available genetic diversity. the assessment of genetic variability could increase the information for breeding programs. ...

AGRO100 (also known as AS1411) is a G-rich oligonucleotide that has long been established as a potent anti-cancer aptamer. However, the structure of AGRO100 remained unresolved, due to the co-existence of multiple different G-quadruplex conformations. We identified a DNA sequence named AT11, derived from AGRO100, which formed a single major G-quadruplex conformation and exhibited a similar anti...

The traditional view holds that English main verbs do not move to any of the inflectional heads AgrS, Tns or AgrO. Recently, it has been claimed that while English main verbs cannot move to the highest inflectional head (i.e. AgrS), they may move to an intermediate inflectional head such as AgrO or Tns (cf. section 2). In earlier work, I have argued that all verb movement to inflectional heads ...

Sitophilus zeamais is a primary pest of stored maize, which can cause quality and quantity losses. Maize cultivated in several West African countries where different agro-climatic agro-ecological conditions exist. These could influence the morphology. Thus, purpose this study to identify morphological groups four countries. This was carried out through morphometric 30 male individuals taken fro...

We assessed the total nitrogen (N) concentrations of 28 still surface water (lake and pond), and 42 flowing surface water (river), monitoring sites under 29 typical terrestrial ecosystems of the Chinese Ecosystem Research Network (CERN) using monitoring data collected between 2004 and 2009. The results showed that the median total N concentrations of still surface water were significantly highe...

bambara groundnut [vigna subterranea (l.) verdc.] is an indigenous legume crop in africa. it has comparable value to other legumes for food and nutritional security in the continent. however, small-scale farmers continue cultivating unimproved landrace varieties over the production areas in sub-saharan africa. bambara groundnut landraces exist as heterogeneous mixtures of seeds, which typically...

This paper aims at understanding the scope for promoting agro-tourism in Goa, examining the existing Agro-tourism destinations in Goa and the role of ICT in promoting such destinations. It also makes an attempt to understand the opportunities and challenges for ICT in Agro-tourism. A Case-Study was undertaken to study the extent of ICT implementation in Pascoal Organic
