Sudan is a large country with an area of 1.88 million Km2, and has the second largest animal population in Africa consisting of 52.08 million sheep, 43.44 million goats, 41.76 million cattle and 4.62 million camels (MARF, 2013). The majority of animal wealth is concentrated in western Sudan (40%), followed by central Sudan (23%) (MARF, 2011). Minerals are divided into two groups, macro-minerals...

in order to study seed hardening process in pomegranate, some of the relevant biochemical parameters were evaluated in fleshy part of arils or seeds in various soft and hard seeded pomegranate genotypes from the initial fruit set upto ripening stages. lignin was determined from the seeds and enzyme assays were performed on the flesh of arils. analysis of variance revealed significant difference...

in order to study effect of seed weight on germination and growth of wheat seedling, an experiment in seed technology laboratory of aboureihan paradise university of tehran in 2005 has been done. in this experiment, at first stage, the seeds separated by longitude step, latitude step and set frequency parameters of gravity separator set. in second stage, 10 treatments of 1000 seed weight entere...

To understand the gene expression networks controlling soybean seed set and size, transcriptome analyses were performed in three early seed developmental stages, using two genotypes with contrasting seed size. The two-dimensional data set provides a comprehensive and systems-level view on dynamic gene expression networks underpinning soybean seed set and subsequent development. Using pairwise c...

Stigmatic receptivity restricts the successful pollination in cereal crops. The present study deals with the biochemical test for enzymes producing in stigma of field crops such as Indian mustard, rice and wheat. The alcohol dehydrogenase and hydrogen peroxide assays revealed stigmatic receptivity as a violet color and oxygen bubbles released by the chemical reaction. Therefore, the 2 quick tes...

The magnitude of inbreeding depression within populations is important for the evolution and maintenance of mixed mating systems. However, data are sparse on the magnitude of inbreeding depression in Robinia pseudoacacia. In this study, we compared differences in the mature seed set per fruit, seed mass, germination success, and seedling growth between self- and cross-pollination treatments and...

Set expansion refers to expanding a partial set of “seed” objects into a more complete set. In this paper, we focus on relation and list extraction techniques to perform Entity List Completion task through a two stage retrieval process. First stage takes given query entity and target entity examples as seeds and does set expansion. In second stage, only those candidates who have valid URI in Bi...

This paper proposes a novel two-stage method for bilingual product name dictionary construction from comparable corpora. In previous work, some researchers study the problem of expanding a set of given seed entities into a more complete set by discovering other entities that also belong to the same concept, it just solves the problem about expansion of entity set in a monolingual language, but ...

Some physical properties and chemical compositions of two cultivars (Semsouri and Shahabadi) of cantaloupe studied during four different stages of maturity from fruit set to completely ripe. The physical properties investigated were the geometric mean diameter (GMD), specific gravity (SG), mean firmness (MF), rind, seed (%) and flesh (%). The chemical compositions were Brix, Titrable Acidity (T...
