Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Soil Types on Growth, Survival and Abundance of Mangrove (Rhizophora racemosa) and Nypa Palm (Nypa fruticans) Seedlings in the Niger Delta, NigeriaAroloye O. NumbereThe invasion of nypa palm into mangrove forest is a serious problem in the Niger Delta. It is thus hypothesized that soil will influence the growth, survival and abundance of mangrove and nypa palm seedlings. The objective was to compare the growth, survival and abundance of both species in mangroves, nypa palm and farm soils (control). The seeds were planted … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 2 · 25 Apr 2019 · 8,871 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInfluence of Magnesium on Photosynthetic Characteristics and Growth Effects of Sugarcane at Seedling StageChao Zheng, Yong-Xiang Huang, Ke-Xing LiuIn this study, the effects of different concentrations of magnesium on photosynthetic characteristics and growth of sugarcane cultivars Roc22 and YT00-236 at seedling stage were investigated by combined cultivation of sand culture with nutrient solution. The results showed that under the stress of low magnesium, the synthesis and photosynthesis of chlorophyll are blocked with significantly decreased biomass accumulation, increased root-shoot … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 15 Mar 2019 · 8,734 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparison of Compertz and Logistic Models in Estimating the Growth of Leptin-Deficient (ob/ob) Mice and Wild-Type Mice Fed an In-House Prepared High-Fat DietAh Reum Son, Hyunwoong Jo, Kyu Ree Park, Beob Gyun KimThis experiment was conducted to growth curve models for leptin-deficient (ob/ob) and wild-type mice fed a meal-form High-Fat (HF) diet prepared in-house for over 120 weeks. Two hundred and twenty-four sets of Body Weight (BW) and age data were collected from ob/ob mice and 485 sets of data were collected from wild-type mice.
