Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsPerformance of Hevea brasiliensis on Haplic Ferralsol as Affected by Different Water RegimesShafar Jefri Mokhatar, Noordin Wan Daud, Nazera ArbainProblem statement: Rubber has been grown more than a century in South East Asia, who has been the largest producer of natural rubber. Demand of natural rubber increases steadily due to increasing demand particularly from developing countries. Water has been a limited and invaluable resource especially in agriculture. This resource has to be used wisely and there is a need … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 3 · 25 Mar 2011 · 8,905 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractApplication and Prospect of CO2 Enrichment Technology in AgricultureBingbing Wang, Xiangjie Lu, Wanlin Gao et al.With the increasing consumption of fossil fuels for human activities, the emissions of greenhouse gases, such as CO2, have significantly increased, resulting in an intensified greenhouse effect. As an important element for plant photosynthesis, CO2 enrichment in an appropriate environment can promote photosynthetic rate, organic matter accumulation and the growth rate of plants. The CO2 enrichment technology should be widely … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 18, Issue 1 · 10 Feb 2022 · 6,454 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 · 8,731 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEFFECTS OF UV-B ON PHOTOSYNTHETIC PARAMETERS, LIPID PEROXIDATION, FLAVONOIDS AND GROWTH TRAITS OF CONOCARPUS LANCIFOLIUS (ENGL.)Patrice Suleman, Amina Redha, Mohamad Afzal, Redha Al-HasanConocarpus lancifolius is a perennial ornamental plant adapted to the semi-arid conditions of Kuwait. It accumulates most of its biomass during the stressful summer conditions which includes UV-B irradiation. The study evaluated equivalent UV-B irradiation intensities that plants would normally experience sometime during the course of a year in Kuwait. Leaf area, plant height, photosynthetic parameters, Lipid Peroxidation (LP) and … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 23 Dec 2013 · 7,548 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractManipulation of Photosynthesis in Grape (Vitis vinifera) CV. ‘Flame’ by the Application of Two Sucrose AnalogsM. E. Tiznado-Hernandez, J. A. Orozco-Avitia, A. J. Ojeda-Contreras, A. A. Gardea-BejarThe translocation of photosynthates from the leaves is important for the accumulation of sugars in grape berries. Two sucrose analogs were applied at post-veraison to determine their effects on leaf photosynthesis. It is hypothesized that the signal of sugar accumulation in leaves will bring a reduction in photosynthesis and an increase in the photosynthate translocation rate to the berries. The … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 9 Feb 2013 · 7,927 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessing Forest Plantation Productivity of Exotic and Indigenous Species on Degraded Secondary ForestsYetti Heryati, Arifin Abdu, Mohd Noor Mahat et al.Problem Statement: There is general agreement that human activities such as deforestation and land use change to other land use types have contributed to degraded secondary forests or forestland and increases the emission of greenhouse gases which ultimately led to global climate change. An establishment of forest plantation in particular is regarded as an important approach for sequestering carbon. However, … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 6 Jun 2011 · 10,518 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSugarcane Response to Water-Deficit Stress during Early Growth on Organic and Sand SoilsDuli Zhao, Barry Glaz, Jack C. ComstockProblem statement: Approximately 20% of sugarcane (Saccharum spp.) is grown on sand soils in south Florida, USA. Sugarcane yields in the region linearly increased in last 33 years on organic (muck) soils, but not on sand soils. Water deficit during the formative growth phase on sand soils probably limits sugarcane yields. Approach: A greenhouse study was conducted in 2009 and … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 10,260 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Organic Based N Fertilizer on Dry Matter (Zea mays L.), Ammonium and Nitrate Recovery in an Acid Soil of Sarawak, MalaysiaSusilawati Kasim, Osumanu Haruna Ahmed, Nik Muhamad Ab. Majid et al.Problem statement: Exchangeable ammonium (NH4+) could be recovered by humic and fulvic acids from humic substances. The ability of these acids in fixing or retaining NH4+ has been demonstrated in many findings and reports. Both acids could affect the plant growth, nutrients uptake by enhancing photosynthesis rate and root growth among others. Thus, in this study, the effect of both … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2009 · 8,244 accessesView PDF Cite
