Dormancy attributes in sunflower achenes (Helianthus annuus L.): II. Sowing date effects
(Crop Science Society of America, 2021-11)
Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) seed industry needs nondormant seeds (i.e., seeds with the capacity to germinate in a wide range of environmental conditions) for processing and packaging. Thus, the presence of persistent ...
Effect of malonaldehyde on the gelation properties of myofibrillar proteins of sea salmon
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2003-01)
Myofibrillar proteins incubated with malonaldehyde (27°C, t = 0 to 8 h) were used to prepare gels by thermal treatment (80°C, 45 min). Malonaldehyde did not produce significant modifications (P > 0.05) in the storage modulus ...
Soil physical changes after conversion of woodlands to pastures in dry Chaco rangelands (Argentina)
(2017-03)
The conversion of dry woody rangelands into pastures can alter key soil physical properties that regulate ecosystem water circulation and storage. Based on three paired stands of native woodlands and pastures established ...
Mating system and population analysis of the broad-snouted caiman (Caiman latirostris) using microsatellite markers
(Brill Academic Publishers, 2012-01)
The knowledge about reproductive strategies of a species contributes to their conservation. Multiple paternity is a reproductive behavior increasing effective population size, which could increase genetic diversity ...
Poplar leaf rust reduces dry mass accumulation and internal nitrogen recycling more markedly under low soil nitrogen availability, and decreases growth in the following spring
(Oxford University Press, 2019-01)
Rust is one of the most important biotic stress factors that affect poplars. The aims of this work were: (i) to analyze the changes in growth and nitrogen (N) accumulation in Populus deltoides W. Bartram ex Marshall plants ...
A review of silvopastoral systems in native forests of Nothofagus antarctica in southern Patagonia, Argentina
(2016-12)
Silvopastoral systems in Nothofagus antarctica (ñire) forest have become an economical, ecological and productive alternative in Patagonia. Southern Patagonia’s experience over the past 12 years with silvopastoral systems ...
Sunflower: a potential fructan-bearing crop?
(2015-10)
Grain filling in sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) mainly depends on actual photosynthesis, being the contribution of stored reserves in stems (sucrose, hexoses, and starch) rather low. Drought periods during grain filling ...
Bio-based polymers obtained from modified fatty acids and soybean oil with tailorable physical and mechanical performance
(Wiley VCH Verlag, 2020-10)
The impending world oil shortage, global climate changes, and environmental pollution encourage the use of natural renewable resources to produce substitutes for petroleum-derived polymers. In this work, two series of ...
Climate seasonality limits leaf carbon assimilation and wood productivity in tropical forests
(Copernicus Publications, 2016-04)
The seasonal climate drivers of the carbon cycle in tropical forests remain poorly known, although these forests account for more carbon assimilation and storage than any other terrestrial ecosystem. Based on a unique ...
Pyrolytic coproduction of bio-char and upgraded bio-oils from abundant agro-industrial wastes
(Springer, 2021-09)
The co-production of bio-char and upgraded bio-oil by fast pyrolysis of raw and sulfuric-acid pretreated agro-industrial wastes (corn cob, sugarcane bagasse and sunflower seed hull) was investigated to valorize wastes as ...
