Root systems consist of different root types (RTs) with distinct developmental and functional characteristics. RTs may be individually reprogrammed in response to their microenvironment to maximize adaptive plasticity. Molecular understanding of such specific remodeling--although crucial for crop improvement--is limited. Here, RT-specific transcriptomes of adult rice crown, large and fine later...

This study measured the extinction coefficients of supercritical water (SCW)-based multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) nanofluids by using an in-house developed chamber. A He–Ne laser with a wavelength 632.8 nm was employed as light source. Rod-shaped quartz diameter 3 mm and length 305 installed at top bottom chamber so that could pass through To maintain SCW-based MWCNT in chamber, designed ...

Several studies have shown that oil recovery significantly increased by low salinity water flooding (LSWF) in sandstones. However, mechanism of oil recovery improvement is still controversial. CO2 that develops buffer in presence of water is expected as a deterrent factor in LSWF efficiency based on mechanism of IFT reduction due to pH uprising. No bright evidence in literature suppo...

This study aimed to investigate the efficiency of the enhanced coagulation (EC) process for the simultaneous removal of turbidity and humic substances (HS) from raw water from the Sanandaj Water Treatment Plant (SWTP). This study was conducted on a laboratory scale using a jar test device and ferric chloride (FeCL3) as the coagulant. Accordingly, the effects of pH and coagulant dosag...

BACKGROUND Fungal components have been shown very effective in generating Th17 responses. We investigated whether exposure to a minute amount of C. albicans in the arthritic joint altered the local cytokine environment, leading to enhanced Th17 expansion and resulting in a more destructive arthritis. METHODOLOGY Chronic SCW arthritis was induced by repeated injection with Streptococcus pyogen...

Sugarcane grown under a wide range of agro-climatic conditions accounts for ~80% the sugar production worldwide. Since sugarcane productivity is severely affected by abiotic stresses and hence, an experiment was conducted two consecutive years during 2020 2021 on popular sub-tropical varieties. The laid out in two-factorial RBD consisting nine genotypes (Co 98014, Co 0118, 0238, 05011, 06034, 0...

BACKGROUND: Fertilizer management plays an important role for obtaining satisfactory yields and to increase crop productivity. Improve saving water in irrigated agriculture and thereby improving water use efficiency is of paramount importance in water-scarce regions. OBJECTIVES: This study was conducted to assessment effect of different levels of irrigation re...
