Molecular Analysis of Postharvest Changes in Green Asparagus
ISBN: 9783639187304 / Angielski / Miękka / 108 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The early physiological, biochemical, and molecular changes that follow harvesting of asparagus were investigated, with the aim of defining and regulating factors contributing to postharvest deterioration. The results showed that(i)induction of ethylene production in harvested asparagus tips is regulated by transcription of pAS-ACO and pAS-ACS in response to the wounding associated with harvest and, (ii)the increase in ammonia content and decrease in total GS activity in both top and bottom portions of the spears is a response to significant stress after harvest, (iii)the induction of PAL...

ISBN: 9783639183467 / Angielski / Miękka / 140 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The impacts of El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO) on precipitation, reference evapotranspiration, and vegetation in a three-state region of central Mexico were investigated using daily weather data from 20 weather stations for the years 1970 through 1990, which included 5 El Nino years, 5 La Nina years, and 11 Neutral years. In addition, two years, 1997 (El Nino), and 1998 (La Nina) of 10-day NDVI composites were analyzed during the growing season (May-Oct) along with precipitation and reference evapotranspiration (ETo) over central Mexico. Regional precipitation trends were analyzed using...

Furrow Irrigation and Salinization
ISBN: 9783639207842 / Angielski / Miękka / 80 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Salinity is the dissolved salt content in soil or water and is a major issue in irrigated agriculture. Field experiments were conducted to study the soil moisture and soil salinity pattern at different locations for furrow-bed and furrow-ridge irrigated wheat crop. Results were compared to border irrigation. Wheat was sown on plot size of 55.5m X 7.31m having loam soil. Traditional flat sowing was accomplished with row to row distance of 23cm using seed drill and two rows of wheat planted manually on both 30 cm x 60 cm wide furrow-bed and 45cm wide furrow-ridge. Four irrigations...

Surge-Ring Infiltrometer and Modelling Infiltration
ISBN: 9783639111361 / Angielski / Miękka / 72 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. SURGE-RING INFILTROMETER was developed and tested in the field for creating desire set of on-off time's periods in estimating infiltration during surges. A simple straightforward technique was also developed in simulating surges infiltration using first surge and subsequent surges limited surge-ring infiltrometer data. This was done by modifying famous Lewis-Kostiakov equation and named, "Azeemi- surge Infiltration Model." The technique presented in this book certainly helps researcher, scientists, students and farm mangers for planning surge irrigation studies in efficient utilization of...
