Floating, organic crusts on liquid manure, stored as a result of animal production, reduce emission of ammonia (NH(3)) and other volatile compounds during storage. The occurrence of NO(2)(-) and NO(3)(-) in the crusts ...

Despite the global significance of nearshore seagrass beds, little is known of their trophodynamic processes. Herbivory by seagrass fishes is thought to be significant but some species previously suspected to be herbivores ...

The use of winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) as a dual-purpose forage and grain crop is important to the agricultural economies of the Southern Great Plains of the USA. Planting date is an important management factor in ...

MiRNAs can regulate gene expression through versatile mechanisms that result in increased or decreased expression of the targeted mRNA and it could effect the expression of thousands of protein in a particular cell. An ...

In this study we examined whether juvenile liver flukes are capable of stimulating protective immune responses in cattle. Four experimental groups of cattle were studied as follows: group A, a positive control, received a ...

Infection of mammalian skeletal muscle with the intracellular parasite Trichinella spiralis results in profound alterations in the host cell and a realignment of host cell gene expression. The role of parasite excretory/secretory ...

The North China Plain (NCP) is one of the major winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) producing areas in China. Current wheat yields in the NCP stabilize around 5 Mg ha-1 while the demand for wheat in China is growing due ...

The outputs of Global Climate Models (GCMs) were nested with the DSSAT3.5 CERES-Wheat model to explore the potential effects of climate change on South Australia's wheat production for the 2080s with CO2 fertilisation ...
