Natural variation at the DEP1 locus enhances grain yield in rice Grain yield is controlled by quantitative trait loci (QTLs) derived from natural variations in many crop plants. Here we report the molecular characterization of a major rice grain yield QTL that acts through the determination of panicle architecture. The dominant allele at the DEP1

Soil Enzymes Nutrient cycling in soils involves biochemical, chemical, and physiochemical reactions, with the biochemical processes being mediated by microorganisms, plant roots, and soil animals. Enzymes are denatured by elevated temperature and extreme pH. The two most remarkable properties of enzymes are their specificity and catalytic efficiency, and it is in these properties that enzymes

Sickle-cell disease Sickle-cell disease is one of the most common severe monogenic disorders in the world. Haemoglobin polymerisation, leading to erythrocyte rigidity and vaso-occlusion, is central to the pathophysiology of this disease, although the importance of chronic anaemia, haemolysis, and vasculopathy has been established. Clinical management is basic and few treatments have a robust evidence

Effect of water stress at different development stages on vegetative and reproductive growth of corn A field study was carried out from 1995 to 1997 in order to determine the effect of irrigation and water stress imposed at different development stages on vegetative growth, grain yield and other yield components of corn (Zea mays L.).

Biogeochemical nutrient cycles and nutrient management strategies Nutrient loading by riverine input into estuarine systems has increased by 6–50 times for the N load from pristine conditions to present, whereas a 18–180 times increase has been observed in the P load. Reductions in the ratio of N to P delivery has also occurred with time.

The world is full of things which are mysterious. The idea that God became the World is a religious doctrine that has been known for centuries. Evolutionary scientists and modern scholars also believe in the theory of the Big Bang. The precise process of the creation of the universe is incapable of being verified by

This book studies the synchronisation of Lur’e complex networks with different problems. In order to synchronise the Lur’e complex networks, various forms of pinning control techniques are used throughout the entire work. Sufficient requirements for different types of synchronisation on the Lur’e dynamical networks are obtained based on the Lyapunov method. And to show the

The prediction of multicommodity freight flows over a multimodal network has attracted much interest in the recent years. An implementation of the International Freight Simultaneous Transportation Equilibrium Model (IFSTEM) that developed in United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia (ESCWA), to the goods trade through the ports and lands of Sultanate of Oman

The majority of businesses worldwide are small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and play an important role in the economy. It is recognised that small and medium-sized enterprises are the key players in attracting domestic investment and stimulating economic expansion. They are important for economic growth and creativity, for reducing poverty, for local jobs and development

Behavioral finance takes its basic concepts from the theory of economics. In the field of financial markets, behavioural finance is a novel approach. It stems from the urgent need to overcome and resolve the unresolved challenges faced by conventional investors in today’s new financial environment. Thus, it is said that, through certain financial models, certain
