The field experiment has revealed that application of green manure and mulching of seedlings by organic matters and zeolite-containing clay increases the Blenders amount of nitrogen, phosphorus, and improves agro-physical parameters of soil.As consequence the yield of red beet has increased up to 14-34%, the root weight has increased up to 11-16 Dr
Genetic engineering of cotton with a novel cry2AX1 gene to impart insect resistance against Helicoverpa armigera
Embryogenic calli of cotton (Coker310) were cocultivated with the Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain LBA4404 harbouring the codon-optimised, chimeric cry2AX1 gene consisting ROOT LIFTER of sequences from cry2Aa and cry2Ac genes isolated from Indian strains of Bacillus thuringiensis.Forty-eight putative transgenic plants were regenerated, and PCR anal
GeoTh: An Experimental Laboratory Set-Up for the Measurement of the Thermal Conductivity of Granular Materials
GeoTh is a new, Bench Vise simple, efficient, flexible, low-cost experimental laboratory apparatus.These features make it an excellent technological tool for measuring the thermal conductivity of granular materials, e.g., soils, sand, silt, clay or artificial composites.In particular, a configuration based on the one-dimensional heat conduction in
