Genetic analyses of oyster seeds collected from settlement plates (in southeast Brazil Santa Catarina, N = 207) and from marsh plants (Argentina, Samborombón Bay, N = 20) revealed that most seeds did not belong to any o...

ABSTRACT Eight rumen-cannulated steers were assigned to two 4 × 4 balanced Latin squares to evaluate degradability and kinetics of fiber particles from diets based on corn silage and supplements with or without addition...

As ações do projeto consistiram no reconhecimento da comunidade, realizando-se entrevistas, seguidas de um levantamento da demanda por espécies florestais e frutíferas, aquisição, transporte e distribuição das mu...

The lesser rhea (family Rheidae) is a flightless large bird of South America, threatened due to habitat loss, hunting and egg collecting, with special concern in Northern Patagonia. Diet and food availability were estima...

RESUMO The biostimulating potential of algae extracts represents an opportunity to increase efficiency in food production. Cultivable microalgae are viable candidates due to the high production capacity. In this work, th...

Nitrogen availability in Buglossoides arvensis mother plants influences seed dormancy level. Abscisic acid (ABA) levels chiefly determine primary dormancy during embryo maturation and its maintenance depends on ABA/gibbe...

Osteoporosis is a bone disease characterized by reduced bone mass and damage to the microarchitecture of bone tissue. One of osteoporosis types is primary type-1 osteoporosis or postmenopausal osteoporosis due to estroge...

Abstract The research included the effect of microwaves on Nigella sativa seedling ,which grown on the culture media for germination of seeds and seedling growth. This was done by exposure of seeds to microwaves for diff...

Abstract One of the main obstacles to starting successful coffee plantations is the asynchronous and slow germination of Coffea arabica L seeds. Seed priming increases the percentage of germination. Several studies have ...

Abstract Salinity stress severely limits crop productivity, particularly in maize, necessitating innovative pre-sowing treatments that can enhance seed resilience and performance. This study evaluates the effects of pre-...

ABSTRACT The objective of this research was to evaluate the effects of fennel seed (Foeniculum vulgare Mill.) supplementation of ration on performance, egg quality, and serum cholesterol of laying quails during an eight-...

O trabalho avaliou a influência da posição da semente no substrato sobre a emergência de plântulas de tucumã (Astrocaryum aculeatum). Após extração e embebição, as sementes foram semeadas obedecendo as seguint...

The purpose of this work is to determine energy-efficient regimes for aerodynamic tube dehydration of residual products from agro-industrial technologies. To achieve this goal, an experimental electrical installation was...

Abstract This study investigates the unconventional effects of gamma irradiation and/or metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) on Raphanus sativus. Silver chromate/aluminum-based MOFs were applied to both irradiated and non-irr...

In the summer of 2019, the Junior Naturalists posed a question regarding the control of Dog Strangling Vine (DSV), an invasive plant that is present in the Humber Arboretum. This group conducts stewardship activities in ...

Background: As humans are gifted by a defense system, Plants also possess a specialized system of defense that helps them to combat attacking microorganisms and harsh environmental conditions. This defense system is in t...

ABSTRACT The Amazon Basin is a center of diversity of Gossypium barbadense and the strategy for conservation of this genetic resource depends on the knowledge of the diversity maintained in Amazonas State. During two exp...

Substrate composition and seed origin influence the morphological characteristics of future trees. This study aimed to quantify growth of sweet algarrobo plants, Neltuma flexuosa, obtained from seeds collected from two s...

Precision seeders are crucial in modern agriculture as they directly affect agricultural productivity by ensuring the uniform distribution of seeds in the field. Any non-uniformity in seed distribution can lead to missed...

ZnO nanorods (NRs) were grown on fluorine doped tin oxide (FTO) substrates at low temperatures (90 °C) from Zn2+ precursors in alkaline media previously seeded with ZnO nanoparticles. These were deposited onto the FTO s...

The current study examines the effect of six concentrations of aqueous extracts which are 2.5, 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25% of four medicinal plants on the biological aspects of south beetle beans Callosobruchus maculatus. Thes...

Physical dormancy enables plants that occur in temporally stochastic and harsh environments to survive; thus, within the distribution area of a species, the percentage of seeds with physical dormancy is expected to incre...

Plant male sterility refers to the failure in the production of fertile pollen. It occurs spontaneously in natural populations and may be caused by genes encoded in the nuclear (genic male sterility; GMS) or mitochondria...

Objetivou-se avaliar o efeito da altura (10 e 20 cm) e do intervalo de cortes (30 e 45 dias) na produção de sementes de capim-melador (Paspalum dilatatum Poir.) em condições de campo. As plantas foram cortadas nove e...
