The ridge–furrow mulching system with plastic film (RFMS) has been widely used in semi-arid areas order to improve soil water and heat conditions, crop yields use efficiency. It is of practical significance study the effect ridge types on optimize measures effectiveness furrow system. To clarify combined beneath influence morphology it, field experiments were conducted three treatments, includi...

powdery mildew of sugar beet is a common disease in many sugar beet growing areas causing root yield and sugar content reduction. the aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of different irrigation methods on powdery mildew severity in sugar beet. eight susceptible and resistant commercial cultivars were evaluated under sprinkler and furrow irrigation systems in a randomized complete bloc...

RhoA controls cleavage furrow formation during cell division, but whether RhoA suffices to orchestrate spatiotemporal dynamics of furrow formation is unknown. In this issue, Wagner and Goltzer (2016. J. Cell Biol http://dx.doi.org/10.1083/jcb.201603025) show that RhoA activity can induce furrow formation in all cell cortex positions and cell cycle phases.

Dryland winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) production plays an extremely important role in the southeast of Loess Plateau. Planting patterns have great influence on improving soil water storage and yield, should be matched with different seeding rates. In order to assess effect sowing methods drought resistance stable yield dryland wheat, a field experiment was conducted Wenxi County Wheat Exp...

In saline and salinity-affected soils, the global productivity sustainability of cotton are severely affected by soil salinity. High salt concentrations hinder plant growth yield formation mainly through occurrence osmotic stress, specific ion toxicity, nutritional imbalance in cotton. A number agronomic practices have been identified as potential solutions to alleviate adverse effects induced ...

this research was conducted at the shahrood agricultural research center in 1382 and 1383 to study the effect of alternate furrow irrigation on potato yield and its economic evaluation. the experimental design was a randomize complete block design and the treatments were: every furrow irrigation (efi), fixed alternate furrow irrigation (fafi), variable alternate furrow irrigation (vafi), fixed ...

Radixin is a barbed end-capping actin-modulating protein which was first identified in isolated cell-to-cell adherens junctions from rat liver (Tsukita, Sa., Y. Hieda, and Sh. Tsukita, 1989. J. Cell Biol. 108:2369-2382). In the present study, we have analyzed the distribution of radixin in dividing cells. For this purpose, an mAb specific for radixin was obtained using chicken gizzard radixin a...

the manning roughness coefficient is an important parameter in the design and evaluation of furrow irrigation. despite its importance, estimation of this parameter for surface irrigation is very difficult, particularly in furrow irrigation. in this study, an evalue model was used to estimate the manning roughness coefficient in furrow irrigation. the model was based on volume balance and develo...

Events in the morphogenetic furrow set the stage for all subsequent compound eye development in Drosophila. The periodic pattern of the adult eye begins in the furrow with the spaced initiation of ommatidial rudiments, the preclusters. A wave of mitosis closely follows the furrow. A cell-by-cell analysis reveals details of these events. Early stages of ommatidial assembly can be resolved using ...

Dividing cells need to coordinate the separation of chromosomes with the formation of a cleavage plane. There is evidence that microtubule bundles in the interzone region of the anaphase spindle somehow control both the location and the assembly of the cleavage furrow [1-3]. A microtubule motor that concentrates in the interzone, MKLP1, has previously been implicated in the assembly of both the...
