Ash Content and Calorific Energy of Corn Stover Components in Eastern Canada

Energies, 2015
Corn stover is an abundant agricultural residue that could be used on the farm for heating and crop drying. Ash content and calorific energy of corn grain and six stover components were measured from standing plants during the grain maturing period ...

Relationship between Stalk and Cob Mechanical Strength during the Late Growth Stage of Maize (Zea mays L.)

Agronomy, 2020
The stalk strength of maize (Zea mays L.) has a significant effect on stalk lodging and harvesting loss, and the cob mechanical strength affects the grain broken rate in mechanical grain harvesting.

Exploitation and Conservation Status of the Thornback Ray (Raja clavata) in the Balearic Islands (Western Mediterranean)

Fishes, 2023
Fisheries management requires the best scientific knowledge on the exploitation and conservation status of stocks. This is challenging for by-catch species, for which necessary data for their assessment is more limited than for target ones.

Influence of Detasseling Methods on Seed Yield of Some Parent Inbred Lines of Turda Maize Hybrids

Agronomy, 2020
During the process of maize seed production, in order to ensure the genetic purity of parental forms of hybrid maize, an important work performed is the removal of male inflorescences from plants on mother rows. Hand detasseling has high precision but is

Evolutionarily divergent DUF4465 domains have a common vitamin B12‐binding function

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
We show that DUF4465 family proteins, widespread across bacteria from gut microbiomes, hydrothermal vents, and soil, share a common vitamin B12‐binding function. These augmented β‐jellyroll proteins bind vitamin B12 via extended loops. Our findings establish sequence‐diverse DUF4465 proteins as a widespread class of B12‐binding proteins, highlighting ...

Biologically Relevant Methods to Test How Microbes Colonize Maize Styles (Silks): Case Study of a Pantoea Strain

Bacteria
Maize silks (style) receive wind-transmitted pollen. Thereafter, male gametes travel through the silks to reach ovules. Pollinated silks contain a microbiome, members of which are predicted to promote host reproduction and abiotic/biotic stress tolerance

Circumstances contributing to the deterioration of old cob structures in Japan

Journal of Asian Architecture and Building Engineering, 2022
The benefits of using earthen material such as cob in architecture are increasingly acknowledged, yet remaining concerns about safety prevent its broader use. This is particularly true in areas that experience earthquakes and heavy rain.
