Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsEffect of Exposure to Various Durations of Light on Serum Insulin-Like Growth Factor-I in Prepubertal Holstein HeifersL.J. Spicer, B.A. Buchanan, L.T. Chapin, H.A. TuckerOur objective was to determine if prolonged exposure to various durations of light (i.e., photoperiod) would affect serum IGF-I concentrations in heifers. Thus, 16 Holstein heifers, 2 to 4 mo of age, were exposed during a 5-wk pretreatment period to 12 h of cool-white fluorescent light (L) at an intensity of 1200 lux and 12 h of dark (D). At … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 30 Dec 2007 · 6,670 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsManipulating Light Duration and Intensity Using LEDs to Enhance Off-Season Yield of Hylocereus polyrhizus in a Tropical Area of Banyuwangi, East Java, IndonesiaKanthi Pangestuning Prapti, Setyono Yudo Tyasmoro et al.This study aimed to examine the effect of light duration and Light Emitting Diode (LED) power on the production of red dragon fruit during the off-season. The experiment was conducted in Bulurejo, Banyuwangi, East Java, Indonesia, from March to June 2024 using a split-plot design. The main plot consisted of LED illumination duration (2, 4, and 6 hours), while the … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 26, Issue 3 · 3 Aug 2026 · 962 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLead Phytotoxicity Induced Changes in Biochemical Markers in Germination and Seedlings in Durum Wheat Triticum durum Desf. Cv.Vitron and GtaSoraya Slimani, Mokhtar Boudelaa, Saddek Abdelmadjid et al.Among the heavy metals most commonly found on land, lead is a strongly represented pollutant in soil and sediments. It is easily absorbed and accumulated in different parts of plants. On the macroscopic scale, lead causes unfavorable effects on plants. First and in the event of excess, it may exert toxicity affecting several stages of germination development in leaf formation … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 4 · 6 Sep 2017 · 7,480 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Salinity, pH, Light Intensity on Growth and Lipid Production of Microalgae for Bioenergy ApplicationMonika Prakash Rai, Trishnamoni Gautom, Nikunj SharmaThe crisis of energy producing molecules (fuels) is expected to increase in future, which is currently produced from crude mineral oil. Biodiesel is most reliable, non-toxic, biocompatible liquid fuel that can replace the existing unsustainable sources of energy. Among all the known sources, microalgae display high potential for the production of biodiesel owing to their numerous benefits like higher biomass … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 4 · 5 Nov 2015 · 16,789 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLife Cycle of Laboratory-Reared Acrobasis nuxvorella Neunzig (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae): A Pecan Nut PestCorella-Madueno Alba Guadalupe, Fu-Castillo Agustin, Harris Marvin et al.Acrobasis nuxvorella Neunzig is a monophagous pest that feeds on pecan nut trees, Carya illinoinensis. Its specific feeding habit makes the reproduction of this insect in the laboratory challenging. The objective of the present work was to replicate the biological cycle of A. nuxvorella under laboratory conditions. Different instar larvae of the insect were collected from infested nut trees. The … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 4 · 19 Sep 2012 · 8,324 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInfluence of Host Plant Species and Flush Growth Stage on the Asian Citrus Psyllid, Diaphorina citri KuwayamaStephen Leong Chan Teck, Abang Fatimah, Andrew Beattie et al.Problem statement: In order to establish the important host range of D. citri, the performance of this psyllid on different rutacous host plants was assessed. Apparent regional differences in host preferences of D. citri as noted above and the need for empirical knowledge of its host preferences in Malaysia where it is lacking. Approach: Experiments on host plant preference between … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 27 Dec 2011 · 10,043 accessesView PDF Cite
