The inorganic N in precipitation in the Changjiang River catchment mainly comes from gaseous loss of fertilizer N, N resulting from the increases of population and livestock, and from high temperature combustions of fossil fuels. N from precipitation is the first N source in the Changjiang River water and the only direct cause of high content of inorganic N in the Changjiang River and its mouth. The lost N in gaseous form and from agriculture non point sources fertilizer comprised about 60% of annual consumption of fertilizer N in the Changjiang River catchment and were key factors controlling the high content of inorganic N in the Changjiang River mouth. The fate of the N in precipitation and other N sources in the Changjiang River catchment are also discussed in this paper.展开更多
The genetic resistance to angular leaf spot （ALS） caused by Phaeoisariopsis griseola in the common bean cultivar Mexico 54 was investigated on disease reactions in parental, F1, F2 and backcross generations derived ...The genetic resistance to angular leaf spot （ALS） caused by Phaeoisariopsis griseola in the common bean cultivar Mexico 54 was investigated on disease reactions in parental, F1, F2 and backcross generations derived from crosses between a resistant cultivar Mexico 54 and a susceptible cultivar Kablanketi under screen house conditions. The heritability （h2） estimate was as high as 0.719 indicating a successful transfer of ALS resistance among progenies and thus selection can be performed in early generation. High heritability coupled with high expected genetic advance of 39.5% is considered to be more useful in predicting the outcome of selecting the best individuals. Chi-square values were computed to determine whether the observed ratios for disease reactions deviated from expected Mendelian ratios for a single, dominant gene controlling resistance to angular leaf spot in common bean. Based on the resistance of the F2, and the backcross generation to the resistant parent, a 3 resistant： 1 susceptible segregation ratio in the F2 and a 1 resistant： 1 susceptible segregation ratio in the backcross generation to the susceptible parent was obtained implying that resistance to the isolate ofPhaeoisariopsis griseola is governed by a single, dominant gene.展开更多

The optical properties were measured by absorption spectroscopy. The dimension of the prepared nanoparticles as estimated by the Atomic Force Microscope （AFM）, was 91.57 nm. This reaserch effort proposes a mechanism for reducing the size of silver nanoparticles by adding the hydrogen peroxide （H202）, and protecting the silver nanoparticle to inhibit agglomeration by adding PVP polymer.展开更多
