Microparticle Bombardment as a Tool in Plant Science and Agricultural Biotechnology

Microparticle bombardment technology has evolved as a method for delivering exogenous nucleic acids into plant cells and is a commonly employed technique in plant science. Desired genetic material is precipitated onto micron-sized metal par...

Plant Metabolomics: An Indispensable System Biology Tool for Plant Science

As genomes of many plant species have been sequenced, demand for functional genomics has dramatically accelerated the improvement of other omics including metabolomics. Despite a large amount of metabolites still remaining to be identified,...

Effectiveness of 2,4-D/dicamba/dichlorprop-p premixture for controlling glyphosate-resistant kochia (Bassia scoparia L.) in Central Great Plains

Widespread evolution of glyphosate resistance among kochia populations is a serious challenge for growers across the North American Great Plains. Dicamba has historically been used to control glyphosate-resistant (Gly-R) kochia. However, th...

Effects of Kathon, a Chemical Used Widely as a Microbicide, on the Survival of Two Species of Mosquitoes

In recent decades, demands for novel insecticides against mosquitoes are soaring, yet candidate chemicals with desirable properties are limited. Kathon is a broad-spectrum isothiazolinone microbicide, but other applications remain uncharact...

Editorial: State-of-the-Art Technology and Applications in Crop Phenomics

Effects of timing and nitrogen fertilizer application rates on maize yield components and yield in eastern Ethiopia

Abstract Maize (Zea mays L.) is an important food security crop in Ethiopia. However, low soil fertility and the use of haphazard nitrogen (N) fertilizer with little attention to the rate and timing of N application constrain productivity. ...

Advances in Plant Sciences

Modern botany is a broad, multidisciplinary subject with inputs from most other areas of science and technology. Research topics include the study of plant structure, growth and differentiation, reproduction, biochemistry and primary metabo...

Ontologies as integrative tools for plant science

PREMISE OF THE STUDY: Bio-ontologies are essential tools for accessing and analyzing the rapidly growing pool of plant genomic and phenomic data. Ontologies provide structured vocabularies to support consistent aggregation of data and a sem...

Air Conditioning Compressor Air Leak Detection by Image Processing Techniques for Industrial Applications

This paper presents method to detect air leakage of an air conditioning compressor using image processing techniques. Quality of air conditioning compressor should not have air leakage. To test an air conditioning compressor leak, air is pu...

Potential and limitations of multidecadal satellite soil moisture observations for selected climate model evaluation studies

Soil moisture is an essential climate variable (ECV) of major importance for land–atmosphere interactions and global hydrology. An appropriate representation of soil moisture dynamics in global climate models is therefore important. Recentl...

Anticancer, antioxidant and antibacterial potential of L-Glutaminase (Streptomyces roseolus strain ZKB1) capped silver and zinc oxide nanoparticles and its molecular characterization

Abstract The current investigation reports anti-cancer, antioxidant and antibacterial potential of L-Glutaminase (Streptomyces roseolus strain ZKB1) and L-Glutaminase capped nanoparticles. The highest L-Glutaminase production of 9.57 U/mL w...

The Model of Righteous Governance in the Qur’anic Interpretation of Imam Musa al-Sadr

In the contemporary world, where societies encounter extensive cultural, religious, and ethnic diversity, the issue of righteous governance and the attainment of an efficient model for managing such diversity constitutes one of the fundamen...

On-the-Fly Sleep Scoring Algorithm with Heart Rate, RR Intervals and Accelerometer as Input

In many applications, recognizing the depth of sleep (e.g., light, deep, REM sleep) while the subject is sleeping enables innovative features. For instance, in SAE Level 4 autonomous driving, a driver may need to takeover the vehicle contro...
