THE EFFECT OF WATER STRESS ON RADIATION INTERCEPTION, RADIATION USE EFFICIENCY AND WATER USE EFFICIENCY OF MAIZE IN A TROPICAL CLIMATE

Turkish Journal Of Field Crops, 2017
This study was conducted to investigate the effect of deficit irrigation on radiation capture, radiation use efficiency (RUE) and water use efficiency (WUE) in maize production, and to assess how these factors impact biomass production in water stress environments. Five irrigation levels were investigated: a full irrigation treatment with a water depth

Structural insights into an engineered feruloyl esterase with improved MHET degrading properties

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
A feruloyl esterase was engineered to mimic key features of MHETase, enhancing the degradation of PET oligomers. Structural and computational analysis reveal how a point mutation stabilizes the active site and reshapes the binding cleft, expading substrate scope.

Resource use efficiency of different wheat species under drought stress

The Indian Journal of Agricultural Sciences, 2018
Genotypes of modern bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) produced significantly more grain yield over spelt (Triticum spelta L.) and emmer (Triticum dicoccum) genotypes of ancient wheat.

TRAIL‐PEG‐Apt‐PLGA nanosystem as an aptamer‐targeted drug delivery system potential for triple‐negative breast cancer therapy using in vivo mouse model

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Aptamers are used both therapeutically and as targeting agents in cancer treatment. We developed an aptamer‐targeted PLGA–TRAIL nanosystem that exhibited superior therapeutic efficacy in NOD/SCID breast cancer models. This nanosystem represents a novel biotechnological drug candidate for suppressing resistance development in breast cancer.

Ridge-furrow planting with black film mulching increases rainfed summer maize production by improving resources utilization on the Loess Plateau of China

Agricultural Water Management, 2023
Soil mulching has been widely used to improve crop productivity around the world, but how various mulching practices affect soil hydrothermal conditions, water-temperature-radiation utilization and finally grain yield of rainfed maize has been poorly ...

Radiation damage in the LHCb vertex locator [PDF]

, 2013
The LHCb Vertex Locator (VELO) is a silicon strip detector designed to reconstruct charged particle trajectories and vertices produced at the LHCb interaction region. During the first two years of data collection, the 84 VELO sensors have been exposed to

Simulation of source sink partitioning in wheat under varying nitrogen regimes using DSSAT-CERES-wheat model

Agricultural Water Management
Grain yields in wheat can be limited by the assimilate supply (source) or by the carbohydrate demand of the grains (sink). Recently, there have been questions regarding the capability of crop models to simulate the physiology of source-sink interactions ...
