Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStable Nitrogen Isotopic Changes in Winter Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) Induced by its Growth TemperatureZhou Feng Wang, Wei Guo Liu, Rui Juan HaoThe nitrogen dynamics of plants can be quantified using the variation in their δ15N level. This reveals details of plant physiological characteristics and the relationship between plants and their growth conditions. To better understand plant nitrogen dynamics and the effects of external temperature changes on their nitrogen isotopic composition, we investigated the δ15N characteristics in Triticum aestivum and its mother … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 21 Mar 2017 · 8,119 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractThe Timeless Contribution of Rootstocks towards Successful Horticultural Farming: From Ancient Times to the Climate Change EraIoannis E. PapadakisGrafting is a horticultural practice by which living vegetative plant organs (root, stem and/or buds) of either the same genotype or, usually, different genotypes belonging to the same species, genus, subfamily and/or family, are tightly connected to each other to form a double-compound plant. In fact, it is a method of asexual (clonal-vegetative) propagation of plants. The basal part of … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 16 Dec 2016 · 9,521 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractProtecting crop species from biotic and abiotic constraints in the era of Global Change: are we ready for this challenge?Marco Landi, Giovanni BenelliReliable and affordable supply of food is of crucial importance to the progress and stability of human societies. During the last century, we have assisted to an extraordinary increase of crop yields, especially for the most widespread and consumed crop species, such as rice, wheat, corn and soybean. The Broadbalk experiment, one of the oldest continuous agronomic experiments in the … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 4 Jun 2016 · 8,399 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractAmerican Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences: Ten Years LaterMarco LandiTen years after the first issue, the American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences (AJABS) continued to flourish, a clear indication of the validity of Science Publications project. Many scientists have contributed in this first decade to AJABS editorial life and to date more than 500 papers have been published with an encouraging rate of 0.73 cites per doc. Furthermore, … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 5 Mar 2016 · 7,893 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProposal of a Genome Editing System for Genetic Resistance to Tomato Spotted Wilt VirusFederico Martinelli, Giovanni Grillone, Filippo SgroiViruses provoke considerable economical losses in agriculture. New molecular approaches to develop genetic resistance based on translational genomics and precision genetic modifications are highly expected. The type II Clustered, Regularly Interspaced Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR) system including Cas9 nuclease represent a promising and very powerful tool to specifically modulate the expression and activity of genes involved in biotic stress responses. In … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 11 · 7 Jan 2015 · 7,685 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTHE APPLICATION OF LIFE CYCLE COST (LCC) APPROACH TO QUALITY FOOD PRODUCTION: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS IN THE PARMA PDO HAM SECTORMattia Iotti, Giuseppe BonazziIn the international literature, the subject of the analysis of the cost of production is often confined to the analysis of short-term convenience. However, the quantification of the cost of production per unit of product has a particular importance in the processing enterprises, especially in the initial phase of choice that concerns realization of investments in facilities and technologies to … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 9 · 5 Jul 2014 · 9,970 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractProduction of Palm Oil with Methane Avoidance at Palm Oil Mill: A Case Study of Cradle-to-Gate Life Cycle AssessmentChiew Wei Puah, Yuen May Choo, Soon Hock OngThe study discusses a case study of cradle to gate life cycle assessment for the production of Crude Palm Oil (CPO) with methane avoidance at palm oil mill. The improved milling process enables total utilization of the oil palm fruit to produce alow oil palm based food source. The minimal modification in the mill includes cleaning of Fresh Fruit Bunches … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 11 · 9 Sep 2013 · 7,387 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractUptake of Heavy Metals by Jatropha curcas L. Planted in Soils Containing Sewage SludgeParisa Ahmadpour, Azmi Mat Nawi, Arifin Abdu et al.Problem statement: The chemical pollution of soil has become a major source of concern and has posed serious health problems within the last few years in many developed nations. A variety of organic and inorganic pollutants, including heavy metals, are being mixed in with the cultivated soil and water. Sewage sludge was one of the major sources of enrichment of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2010 · 10,265 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGrowth Dynamics of Celosia cristata Grown in Cocopeat, Burnt Rice Hull and Kenaf Core Fiber MixturesYahya Awang, Anieza Shazmi Shaharom, Rosli B. Mohamad, Ahmad SelamatProblem Statement: Understanding the growth dynamics of short-lived plant could be critical as it would complete its life cycle in a short time period. It does not normally has much time to adjust to hostile environmental condition. This study provides a detail account on growth dynamics of Celosia cristata grown in five growing media for the production of high quality … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 9,009 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Gate to Gate Assessment of Environmental Performance for Production of Crude Palm Kernel Oil Using Life Cycle Assessment ApproachS. Vijaya, A. N. Ma, Y. M. ChooProblem statement: The oil palm industry is an export orientated industry which heavily relies on the world market. In 2007 alone the total export earnings reached RM 45.1 billion. It is essential that the oil palm industry is ready to meet the higher expectation of its overseas customers on the environmental performance of the industry. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,225 accessesView PDFCite
