Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEVALUATION FOR SALT STRESS TOLERANCE IN TWO STRAWBERRY CULTIVARSW. Al-Shorafa, A. Mahadeen, K. Al-AbsiSalt stress conditions have been found to destroy the vital physiological process in plant where slower cell division and cell enlargement or both and limit mineral nutrient uptake with clearly nutritional imbalance. A greenhouse pot experiment was carried out at Agricultural Research Station, Mu’tah University, Jordan to evaluate growth responses and mineral composition of two strawberry cultivars to salt stress … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 14 Apr 2014 · 7,697 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleMATHEMATICAL MODELING AND EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON THIN LAYER HALOGEN DRYER OF STRAWBERRY AND STUDY IT’S EFFECT ON ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVITYAsaad Rehman Saeed Al-Hilphy, Ali Khudhair Jaber AlRikabiThe halogen drying characteristics of strawberry (Fragaria ananassa Duch) slices were investigated. Drying experiments were carried out a three different drying temperatures (60, 70 and 80°C). The effect of drying temperature on the drying rate, drying coefficient, efficiency, effective diffusivity of the strawberry and antioxidant activity were evaluated. The best model for describing the halogen drying process was chosen by … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 30 Sep 2013 · 7,367 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleWheat Straw Processing Effect Study on Their Enzymatic Hydrolysis by Trichoderma viride and Aspergillus аwamori CulturesZhaksylyk Makhatov, Bakhytzhan Kedelbayev et al.The effect of wheat straw processing on the enzymatic hydrolysis of the straw by Trichoderma viride and Aspergillus awamori cultures is of importance for the bioconversion of renewable biomass. The study aimed to determine the optimal wheat straw processing method that would result in the highest yield of fermentable sugars from straw. A combination of physical and chemical methods was … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 24, Issue 1 · 20 Oct 2023 · 5,085 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleScreening of Dominant Cellulose-Degrading Microbe in Humus and Optimisation of its Enzyme Producing Conditions and Application Optimization of Enzyme Production Conditions and Evaluation of Efficient Straw Degradation by Penicillium oxalicumGailing Wang, Chendi Li, Yanan Guo et al.The slow degradation of returned straw adversely affects seedling survival rate. To shorten the degradation time of lignin in maize straw in warm temperate regions, a cellulolytic microbial strain that can secrete polymer with high enzymatic activity was isolated from the humus, which helped to identify an effective strain to expedite the decomposition of returned maize straw. Using the molecular … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 19, Issue 2 · 23 May 2023 · 5,300 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAnt Diversity in a Sugarcane Culture without the Use of Straw Burning in Southeast, Sao Paulo, BrazilDébora Rodrigues De Souza, Erich Stingel, Luiz Carlos de Almeida et al.Problem statement: One of the current requirements of agroecosystem management is the maintenance of biodiversity. Manual sugarcane harvesting with the previous burning of straw has been gradually replaced by mechanical harvesting in Brazil. However, the diversity of Formicidae, which can be a natural pest controller, has not been studied in this new system yet. Approach: This study was carried out … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,646 accessesView PDFCite

Approach: The data used in the study were obtained from 35 local strawberry growers by using a face-to-face questionnaire in August-September 2009. Results: Total energy input for strawberry production was … …Energy Research Journal, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,915 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsProduction of Xylitol from Agricultural Waste by Enzymatic MethodsMarie K. Walsh, Hussein Fadhil Khliaf, Khalida A. ShakirEnzyme catalyzed production of xylose from autoclaved and non-autoclaved wheat straw was conducted followed by bioconversion of xylose to xylitol using a Crude preparation of Xylose Reductase (CXR) from Candida guillermondii. Ground wheat straw (autoclaved and non autoclaved) was treated at 40 and 50°C for up to 9 h at pH 4.5 with various concentrations of xylanase (12.4 to 37.2 … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 26 Mar 2018 · 9,655 accessesView PDFCite
