Effect of Genotype, Environment and Malting on the Antioxidant Activity and Phenolic Content of Indian Barley
Seventy-two Indian barley varieties were screened for their antioxidant activity for 2 years using two antiradical systems. Differences in the levels of antioxidant activity in 2 years were obtained, but the genotypic differences still remained...
Multiple genomic signatures of selection in goats and sheep indigenous to a hot arid environment
Goats and sheep are versatile domesticates that have been integrated into diverse environments and production systems. Natural and artificial selection have shaped the variation in the two species, but natural selection has played the major role...
Fast-forward genetics by radiation hybrids to saturate the locus regulating nuclear–cytoplasmic compatibility in Triticum
The nuclear-encoded species cytoplasm specific (scs) genes control nuclear–cytoplasmic compatibility in wheat (genus Triticum). Alloplasmic cells, which have nucleus and cytoplasm derived from different species, produce vigorous and vital...
The vulnerability of wheat is likely to increase due to an increase of heat stress according to recent wheat-production simulation models combined with local climate-change data. This is particularly an issue affecting dryland areas where global...
Multifaceted Impacts of Sustainable Land Management in Drylands: A Review
Biophysical restoration or rehabilitation measures of land have demonstrated to be effective in many scientific projects and small-scale environmental experiments. However circumstances such as poverty, weak policies, or inefficient scientific...
Power transformations: An application for symmetrizing the distribution of sample coefficient of variation from inverse gaussian populations
The coefficient of variation (CV) of a random variable (or that of the corresponding population), defined to be the ratio of the standard deviation to the mean of the cor responding population, has been used in wideranging applications in many...
Performance evaluation of ground water management instruments: The case of irrigation sector in Tunisia
Around 27% of aquifers in Tunisia are being overexploited. Groundwater extractions is mainly for the irrigation sector, where more than 40% of the water used for irrigation comes from GW sources. The objective of this study is to critically...
