A systems genomics and genetics approach to identify the genetic regulatory network for lignin content in Brassica napus seeds
Seed quality traits of oilseed rape, Brassica napus (B.napus), exhibit quantitative inheritance determined by its genetic makeup and the environment via the mediation of a Display Cases complex genetic architecture of hundreds to thousands of genes.Thus, instead of single gene analysis, network-based systems genomics and genetics approaches that co
Metapopulation dynamics and foraging plasticity in a highly vagile seabird, the southern rockhopper penguin
Abstract Population connectivity is driven by individual dispersal potential and modulated by natal philopatry.In seabirds, high vagility facilitates dispersal yet philopatry is also common, with foraging Bridle area overlap often correlated with population connectivity.We assess the interplay between these processes by studying past and current co
Pedal cum solar powered paddy thresher for small farms
Brushes The performance of pedal operated paddy thresher was evaluated in the field.During threshing operation the optimum speed of threshing drum 290-310 rpm was achieved by 21 strokes.The paddy was threshed at a moisture content of 18.45%.The threshing efficiency of the thresher was found up to 99%.The optimum paddy holding capacity achieved was
