mprovement of N2 fixation might be an effective strategy in peanut breeding for high yield under drought stress conditions. However, under water limited conditions peanut varieties having high water-use efficiency (WUE) are favorable. A pot experiment was conducted under greenhouse conditions at Khon Kaen University, Thailand during December 2002 to May 2003, and repeated during June 2003 t...

Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) has been developed into a dedicated herbaceous bioenergy crop. Biomass yield is a major target trait for genetic improvement of switchgrass. microRNAs have emerged as a prominent class of gene regulatory factors that has the potential to improve complex traits such as biomass yield. A miR156b precursor was overexpressed in switchgrass. The effects of miR156 ove...

Improvement of Yield, Yield Components and the Concentration Some Nutrients in Rice Leaves by Using Straw Its Biochar

Surveys suggest that supply chain risk is a growing issue for executives and that supplier reliability is of particular concern. A common mitigation strategy observed in practice is for the buying firm to expend effort improving the reliability of its supply base. We explore a model in which a firm can source from multiple suppliers and/or exert effort to improve supplier reliability. For both ...

Selection criteria that can facilitate grain yield improvement would be considered important plant breeding tools. We assessed the value of spectral refl ectance indices (SRI) as indirect selection tools for grain yield improvement in winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). The objectives of this study were to estimate genetic correlation between SRI and grain yield, heritability, response to sele...

Genetic diversity is important for crop improvement. An experiment was conducted during 2011 to study genetic variability, character association, and genetic diversity among 27 soybean mutants and four mother genotypes. Analysis of variance revealed significant differences among the mutants and mothers for nine morphological traits. Eighteen mutants performed superiorly to their mothers in resp...

A new Cross-Shared Redundancy (CSR) architecture of embedded memory for yield improvement is proposed. The model of CSR takes into account cluster errors, which are common for deep-submicron technologies. The redundancy scheme is optimized in consideration of low-power and fast operation. A yield model of cross-shared redundancy for the embedded memory is presented.
