The rapid population growth in large urban cities has led to an unprecedented increase in both the number and the diversity of wireless devices and applications with varying quality of service requirements in terms of latency and data rates. LinkNYC is an example of an urban communication network infrastructure, which...
Previous research suggested that unlike marketing goods,
marketing services required manipulating the physical environment as
well as price, promotion, production, and place. This indicates a role for
interior design in the marketing strategy of a service business. Research
also indicated that little was known about the effect of the different...
Cephalosporium stripe, caused by the soil-borne ascomycete Cephalosporium gramineum, is becoming an increasingly important disease of winter wheat (Triticum aestivum) in several areas of the world, especially where stubble mulch is practiced to maintain soil moisture and prevent erosion. As cultural control of the disease is infeasible and no fungicides...
A higher level of efficiency in the production of doubled-haploids must be achieved if
this procedure is to be beneficial in plant improvement. Of equal importance is the
development of protocols, which are not genotypic specific and result in progeny that represent
a random sample of gametes from the parental...
Pre-harvest sprouting in wheat costs farmers millions of dollars every year. Pre-harvest sprouting tolerance (PST) has minimized this problem, but improvement of PST is still necessary. Synthetic hexaploid wheats (synthetics) have been used as sources of
genes coding for many useful traits. Two studies evaluated the PST of a synthetic...
Drought is a major limiting abiotic stress influencing wheat production in
many parts of the world. The erratic nature of water deficits makes breeding
and selection for drought resistance deficient. In environments with late
season drought stress, yield losses are usually associated with kernel abortion
or reduction in kernel growth....
A negative relation between grain protein content and
grain yield is frequently observed in wheat (Triticum
aestivum L. em Thell) i.e. as grain yield increases, grain
protein decreases. It has been suggested that the inverse
relation between grain yield and protein is in part the
result of developing high yielding...
