Rice variety differentiation was based on morphological descriptors (DUS) before the advent of genomic and proteomic technology.DNA fingerprinting is becoming an important molecular marker approach because of its wide application in varietal protection, classification, and conflict settlement.In the present study, genetic diversity and variability
Abstract Background Ticks secrete a diverse mixture of secretory proteins into the host to evade its immune response and facilitate blood-feeding, making secretory proteins attractive targets for the production of recombinant anti-tick vaccines.The largely neglected tick species, Rhipicephalus zambeziensis, is an efficient vector of Theileria parva
In this paper, an attempt was made to assess the effectiveness of finger jointing in utilising mango wood sections for various end uses like furniture.The study was based on the estimation of Modulus of elasticity and Modulus of rupture under static bending and Maximum Crushing Stress and Modulus of elasticity under compression Lens Caps parallel t
Danjiangkou reservoir area is the main water source and the submerged area of the Middle Route South-to-North Water Transfer Project of China.Soil erosion is a factor that significantly influences the quality and transfer of water from the Danjiangkou reservoir.The objective of this study is to assess the water erosion (rill and sheet erosion) risk
Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) is a remote sensing technique for mapping of soil moisture with high spatial resolution.C-band SAR can resolve features at field scale, or better, but responds to moisture only within the top 1 to 2 cm of the soil.When validating SAR-derived soil moisture products against standard in situ measurements at 5 to 1
