In these landraces, a total of 32 gliadin and 3 high_molecular_weight (HMW) glutenin patterns were observed. In total, 14, 15 and 5 alleles were identified at Gli_1, Gli_2 and Glu_1, respectively. At each locus, the alleles in higher frequency were Gli_A1a (89%), Gli_B1h (46%), Gli_D1a (65%), Gli_A2a (64%), Gli_B2j (45%), Gli_D2a (48%), Glu_A1c (99%), Glu_B1b (99%) and Glu_D1a (100%). The Nei's genetic variation index (H) of Sichuan wheat landraces was 0.370?6, varying from 0 to 0.708?7. The highest genetic diversity was found at Gli_B2 locus, while the lowest was found at Glu_D1. The genetic diversity at Gli loci was higher than that of Glu_1 loci among these landraces, but it was much lower than that of modern wheat cultivars. These results indicated a narrow genetic base of Sichuan wheat landraces. In this study, “Chengdu_guangtou” had the identical gliadin and HMW_glutenin patterns with “Chinese Spring”, further supporting the proposal that “Chinese Spring” is a strain of “Chengdu_guangtou”.展开更多

The cost of applying conventional water soluble phosphate fertilizer is high in developing countries since their manufacturing requires importing high grade rock phosphate (RP). As a result, the use of indigenously available low-grade RP is gaining importance globally. In this study, experiments were carried out using clayey loamy alkaline soil to evaluate the agronomic efficiency of fine sized low grade RP with inorganic nitrogen fertilizers and it was further compared with that of soluble phosphate fertilizer (di-ammonium phosphate), Cicer arietinum was the test crops subjected to treatments of absolute control, di-ammonium phosphate and low grade RP with varying concentrations of ammonium sulphate or ammonium nitrate. The experiments were conducted during 2012-2013 in the bid to study the growth rate and the biomass of the crop. Tests were also performed to determine the residual effects of the fertilizers on the crops. The results revealed that the combined use of low grade RP and ammonium sulphate or ammonium nitrate, at 16 kg N/ha, resulted in an agronomic efficiency, in terms of biomass of plants, comparable to that of di-ammonium phosphate and was found to be a more attractive management option for resource-poor farmers.展开更多

The genetic alterations accumulate in a stepwise fashion as the precancerous lesions progress to invasve ductal carcinoma. This supports the linear progression model of breast cancer from FEA, through ADH, to low- nuclear grade DCIS as non-obligate early events in low-grade IDC evolution. In contrast, high-grade carcinoma tends to aneuploidy with complex genetic alterations--most importantly, frequent gains at chromosome 16q. Frequent losses at chromosome 16q in low-grade IDC and gains in the same arm of the same chromosome in high-grade IDC imply that these lesions are two end outcomes of different disease processes and that they do not lie in the same continuum of a process. Therefore, low-grade and high-grade IDC are two distinct diseases with a divergent route of progression.展开更多

Eighty-eight samples from varieties "Rongfu", "Fujian", "Ailunwan" and "Shengchanzhong" were used for the genetic analyses. One hundred and ninety-eight bands were obtained using eight combinations of primers. One hundred and ninety-one (96.46%) were polymorphic bands. Nei's genetic diversity was 0.360, and the coefficient of genetic differentiation was 0.357. No inbreeding-type recession was found in the four brown alga varieties and the results of the "Ailunwan" variety using samples from 2 years showed that the variety was becoming less diverse during the selection inherent in the breeding program. Genetic diversity and cluster analyses results were consistent with these genetic relationships. The results show the RSAP method is suitable for genetic analysis. Continuous inbreeding and selection could reduce the genetic diversity effectively; therefore periodical supervision is required.展开更多

For this purpose, a review in available studies and documents was made. The results show that a lack of the precise definition for the food security's concept creates different understandings, leading to various interpretations and divergent solutions. The reasons could be found in specifics of the food security's concept which is qualified as a wicked problem. Wicked problems refer to issues which are highly complex, have innumerable and undefined causes and are difficult to understand and frame. Therefore, caution is required when positions of stakeholders are estimating. Based on literature, it can be stated that the productionist (focusing on intensive food production) and environmental frames are dominant in the debate, resulting in potential conflicts and different claims about action to be taken. As a result, a clear political vision on the food security's concept is lacking. In conclusion, a return to the principle what food production is economically, socially and environmentally sustainable can reshape a public debate in order to actively form food security policies at the global and national levels in the future. However, better coping strategies like cooperative strategy should be developed to tame food security as a wicked problem by turning over to stakeholders for new definitions and solutions.展开更多

The results show that mixed bacteria has strong ability to produce acid, and have stronger oxidation activity to energy source -Fe^2+. Mixed bacteria can significantly increase the rate of phosphate solubilization from phosphate rock in low concentration pulp. It goes against mixed bacteria reproduction when pulp concentration increased, makes phosphate solubilization rate decreased.展开更多

Most mungbean varieties grown in Thailand are susceptible to the disease, therefore, new resistant varieties are highly desirable. Three resistant mungbean lines, V4718, V4758 and V4785, were identified from the AVRDC collection. In this study, the authors compared the resistance levels among these 3 lines and tested the allelic relationship among these resistance genes. Three crosses, V4718 × V4758, V4718 × V4785 and V4758 × V4785, were made and the F1 hybrids were selfed to generate the F2 populations and crossed to a susceptible variety, CN72 to generate the F1 × S populations. In the F1 × S and F2 populations, the resistance segregated in a ratio of 3 Resistant (R):I Susceptible (S) and 15R:IS, respectively for all three crosses. These results indicate that a single dominant gene confers resistance to powdery mildew in each resistant line and these resistance genes are non-allelic. The authors are currently transferring these resistance genes into commercial varieties to provide durable resistance to powdery mildew.展开更多

In the present study, the first and second law thermodynamic analyses of the ACHP with NH3/H20 as working fluid were performed. Thermodynamic properties of each point and heat transfer rate of each component in the cycle under basic operation conditions were calculated from the first law analysis. Following the second law of thermodynamics, the entropy generation of each component and the total entropy generation of the system were obtained. The effect~ of the heating temperature, heat source temperature, and compression ratio on the coefficient of performance (COP) and the total entropy generation ( STot ) of the system were examined. The results show that the increase in COP corresponds to a decrease in STot, and vice versa; besides, for certain operating conditions, an optimum compression ratio in the NH~/H20 ACHP exists.展开更多

文摘Powdery mildew, which called Sphaerotheca phaseoli in Latin, is one of the major diseases of mungbean (Vigna radiata L.) worldwide, causing up to 50% yield losses. Most mungbean varieties grown in Thailand are susceptible to the disease, therefore, new resistant varieties are highly desirable. Three resistant mungbean lines, V4718, V4758 and V4785, were identified from the AVRDC collection. In this study, the authors compared the resistance levels among these 3 lines and tested the allelic relationship among these resistance genes. Three crosses, V4718 × V4758, V4718 × V4785 and V4758 × V4785, were made and the F1 hybrids were selfed to generate the F2 populations and crossed to a susceptible variety, CN72 to generate the F1 × S populations. In the F1 × S and F2 populations, the resistance segregated in a ratio of 3 Resistant (R):I Susceptible (S) and 15R:IS, respectively for all three crosses. These results indicate that a single dominant gene confers resistance to powdery mildew in each resistant line and these resistance genes are non-allelic. The authors are currently transferring these resistance genes into commercial varieties to provide durable resistance to powdery mildew.

文摘The absorption-compression heat pump (ACHP) has been considered as an effective approach to recover and utilize low-grade heat sources. In the present study, the first and second law thermodynamic analyses of the ACHP with NH3/H20 as working fluid were performed. Thermodynamic properties of each point and heat transfer rate of each component in the cycle under basic operation conditions were calculated from the first law analysis. Following the second law of thermodynamics, the entropy generation of each component and the total entropy generation of the system were obtained. The effect~ of the heating temperature, heat source temperature, and compression ratio on the coefficient of performance (COP) and the total entropy generation ( STot ) of the system were examined. The results show that the increase in COP corresponds to a decrease in STot, and vice versa; besides, for certain operating conditions, an optimum compression ratio in the NH~/H20 ACHP exists.
