Grain Yield and Hectolitre Weight of Some Wheat Cultivars in Organic and Conventional Production Systems

For organic agriculture, wheat cultivars with good and stable grain yield across years are needed. Grain yield and hectolitre weight of 10 cultivars were estimated in field trials for three years at conventionally and organically production systems under the central part of Oltenia, Romania conditions. Our research evidentiated that cultivar influenced significant only hectolitre weight; production system influenced significant the both grain yield and hectolitre weight, and interaction between cultivars x production system was non-significant for the both traits. On average for the study period, the grain yield from the organic production system was by 35% lower than that achieved from the conventional production system. Hectolitre weight was also, affected by production system showing in the organic system values by 2% lower than in the conventional system. The cultivar Miranda was more stable than the other studied cultivars in both conventional and organic production system. On average most cultivars fulfilled the requirements for Grades 2 and 3, but the percentage of cases below the 72 kg/hl limit (non bakery value) varied from 0 to 66.7% in both production systems.

Study of Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of As-built and Heat-treated Additive Manufactured Inconel 718 Alloy

Additive manufacturing technology is becoming popular in the industry because it allows the manufacturer to fabricate cost-effective, strong, lightweight, and complex-shaped parts directly from 3D design data as compared with the conventional manufacturing method. Inconel 718 alloy is the most demanding material in aviation as well as in the automobile industry, in terms of manufacturing high-performance parts. In this study, Inconel 718 samples were built using the direct metal laser sintering process, and standard heat treatment was performed on the samples to improve their microstructure and mechanical properties. The as-built samples exhibited good grain structure with fine laves phases, but the matrix was free from ?' and ?" phases. During the heat treatment, the strengthening phases ?' and ?" precipitated. The mechanical properties of as-built and heat-treated samples were analysed and compared. Tensile tests revealed that the direct-aged sample had the higher tensile strength compared with the other conditions, whereas the as-built samples had higher ductility. Finally, fractography and microstructure analysis were performed to measure the failure modes of tensile specimens.

Behavior of sintered body properties of hydroxyapatite ceramics: effect of uniaxial pressure on green body fabrication

Hydroxyapatite (HA) sintered bodies have been made through the pressureless sintering method. Uniaxial compaction pressure was varied from 10 to 190 MPa to obtain the optimum pressure required for manufacturing green bodies. Before the process of making green bodies, HA powder was added with 10 wt% polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) as a binder. The preheating process was carried out at a temperature of 700 °C with a holding time of 1 h to remove PVA, followed by the process of sintering at a temperature of 1200 °C with a holding time of 2 h in the air environment. The properties of HA sintered bodies were studied by characterizing their microstructure and phase and determining their linear shrinkage, density, relative density, and Vickers hardness. The results showed that tangential contact had occurred between the particles at a uniaxial compaction pressure of 40 MPa, as evidenced by good grain bonding found in the sintered bodies. It was found that uniaxial pressures of 130–190 MPa generated grain bonding more perfectly and hardness values that meet the standards for HA sintered bodies. The strengthening mechanism is modeled by illustration as imperfect tangential contact and perfect tangential contact between the powders on the green body.

Submergence Gene Sub1A Transfer into Drought-Tolerant japonica Rice DT3 Using Marker-Assisted Selection.

Flash flooding is a major environmental stressor affecting rice production worldwide. DT3 is a drought-tolerant, recurrent parent with a good yield, edible quality, and agronomic traits akin to those of an elite Taiwanese variety, Taiken9 (TK9). Progenies carrying Sub1A can enhance submergence stress tolerance and can be selected using the marker-assisted backcross (MAB) breeding method. For foreground selection, Sub1A and SubAB1 were utilized as markers on the BC2F1, BC3F1, and BC3F2 generations to select the submergence-tolerant gene, Sub1A. Background selection was performed in the Sub1A-BC3F2 genotypes, and the percentages of recurrent parent recovery within individuals ranged from 84.7–99.55%. BC3F3 genotypes (N = 100) were evaluated for agronomic traits, yield, and eating quality. Four of the eleven BC3F4 lines showed good yield, yield component, grain, and eating quality. Four BC3F4 lines, SU39, SU40, SU89, and SU92, exhibited desirable agronomic traits, including grain quality and palatability, consistent with those of DT3. These genotypes displayed a high survival rate between 92 and 96%, much better compared with DT3 with 64%, and demonstrated better drought tolerance compared to IR64 and IR96321-345-240. This study provides an efficient and precise MAB strategy for developing climate-resilient rice varieties with good grain quality for flood-prone regions.

Application of Zinc and Iron-Based Fertilizers Improves the Growth Attributes, Productivity, and Grain Quality of Two Wheat (Triticum aestivum) Cultivars.

Field-based experiments were conducted during wheat cultivation seasons of 2017–2018 and 2018–2019 to minimize the impact of hidden hunger (micronutrient deficiencies) through agronomic biofortification of two wheat cultivars with zinc and iron. Two spring-planted bread wheat cultivars: Zincol-16 (Zn-efficient) and Anaj-17 (Zn-inefficient with high-yield potential) were treated with either zinc (10 kg/ha), iron (12 kg/ha), or their combination to study their effect on some growth attributes (plant height, tillers, and spike length, etc.,), productivity, and quality. No application of zinc and iron or their combinations served as the control. Maximum Zn and Fe contents of grains were improved by sole application of Zn and Fe, respectively. A higher concentration of Ca in grains was observed by the combined application of Zn and Fe. Starch contents were found maximum by sole application of Fe. Sole or combined application of Zn and Fe reduced wet gluten contents. Maximum proteins were recorded in Anaj-17 under control treatments. Zincol-16 produced maximum ionic concentration, starch contents, and wet gluten as compared to Anaj-17. Yield and growth attributes were also significantly (p < 0.05) improved by combined application as compared to the sole application of Zn or Fe. The combined application also produced the highest biological and grain yield with a maximum harvest index. Cultivar Anaj-17 was found more responsive regarding growth and yield attributes comparatively. The findings of the present study showed that the combined application of Zn and Fe produced good quality grains (more Zn, Fe, Ca, starch, and less gluten concentrations) with a maximum productivity of bread wheat cultivars.

Dielectric and piezoelectric properties near the morphotropic phase boundary for 0.94BNT-0.06BT ceramics synthesized by the solid-state combustion technique

Ceramics of 0.94Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3-0.06BaTiO3 (0.94BNT-0.06BT) were synthesized by the solid-state combustion technique with various calcination and sintering temperatures (600-800 °C and 1100-1200 °C). A pure perovskite phase was obtained from the powder calcined at 750 °C for 2 h. The phase structure, microstructure, dielectric, ferroelectric and piezoelectric properties of the 0.94BNT-0.06BT ceramics were investigated. The XRD patterns showed coexisting phases of rhombohedral (R) and tetragonal (T) in all samples. Moreover, a good R:T phase ratio of 53:47, as found by Rietveld refinement, good grain growth and high density (5.84 g/cm3) were found with a sintering temperature of 1150 °C for 2 h. An excellent maximum dielectric constant (εm = 8405), good ferroelectric properties (Pr = 28.2 µC/cm2 and Ec = 22.1 kV/cm) and a high piezoelectric coefficient (161 pC/N) were observed in this sample, which was near a morphotropic phase boundary (MPB).

Efficient Inorganic Perovskite Light-Emitting Diodes by Inducing Grain Arrangement via a Multifunctional Interface.

Accumulating evidence shows that metal halide perovskite light-emitting diodes (PeLEDs) are well-described to show broad application prospects in lighting and display due to the wide color gamut and high color purity. However, it is still a great challenge to prepare high-quality all-inorganic PeLEDs by a solution method. For example, it is difficult to obtain all-inorganic perovskite films with good crystallinity and high grain orientation because of too fast and uncontrollable crystallization of all-inorganic perovskite films. Here, we demonstrated a multifunctional interface of formamide (FA)-doped PEDOT:PSS, which improved the crystallinity of all-inorganic perovskite films by inducing grain arrangement. As a result, a highly crystalline, ordered, and defect-passivated CsPbBr3 film was obtained by the multiple roles of FA, and the CsPbBr3-based PeLED treated with FA achieved both high brightness and high efficiency: the peak external quantum efficiency (EQE) reaches 9.61%, and the maximum brightness is 185,000 cd/m2. In addition, Tween 80, used as a passivator of perovskite films, reduced the defect states and suppressed ion migration. Under the synergistic effect of FA interface treatment and Tween 80 passivation treatment, efficient CsPbBr3-based PeLEDs were obtained with an EQE of 15.02% and an operation lifetime of 182.5 min at an initial brightness of 1000 cd/m2, which is among the best reported lifetimes under high brightness. Our study provides a simple and effective strategy for the realization of all-inorganic PeLEDs with high efficiency, high brightness, and ultralong operation lifetime.

Evaluation of pressure and temperature effect on the structure and properties of Ca2.93Sr0.07Co4O9 ceramic materials

In this work, the effect of hot-pressing conditions on the performances of Sr-doped Ca3Co4O9 materials has been investigated. The samples were prepared from attrition milled precursors, which reduced the processing time. Samples were hot-pressed at temperatures (T) between 800 and 900 °C and pressures (P) from 51 to 71 MPa. The out-of-plane X-ray diffraction (XRD) showed that all samples are formed by the thermoelectric phase, with a good grain orientation which is improved with T, and P, as demonstrated by their Lotgering factor. The observations through Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) have revealed that grain sizes and orientation are enhanced with T, and P, as well as density through Archimedes's method. All these trends are reflected in the flexural strength and microhardness. The electrical resistivity is lower when the T, or P, is increased, reaching 6.4 mΩ cm for samples processed at 900 °C and 71 MPa, which is about the best reported values in the literature. On the other hand, contrarily to the expected results, they also showed the highest S values, 182 μV/K, which are similar to the best reported values for highly dense textured materials. Thermal conductivity values do not follow a regular evolution with the hot-pressing conditions, probably due to internal stresses, reaching the lowest values at 800 °C in samples processed at 800 °C and 51 MPa (1.51 W/(K*m)) or 900 °C and 61 MPa (1.53 W/(K*m)). Consequently, the highest ZT values have been determined in samples processed at 900 °C and 61 MPa (0.35) which is higher than the best reported values in literature for bulk textured samples, to the best of our knowledge.

Genetic studies for grain quality traits and correlation analysis of mineral element contents on Al-Ahsa rice and some different varieties (Oryza Sativa L.)

One of the most significant goals in plant breeding programs is to generate new rice varieties with increased elements and good grain quality. In this experiment, ten rice genotypes were evaluated for grain quality traits and protein percentage. Also, milled rice of the ten genotypes were used for analysis of mineral elements. The results revealed that mean squares attributable to genotypes were significant for all traits during the two growing seasons, showing the presence of broad genetic variability among genotypes for all traits under consideration. However, the Indica type (Egyptian Yasmin and Giza 182) gave the highest value for grain length (7.10, 6.52 mm) and grain shape (2.87, 2.82 mm) under the two seasons. While, Al-Ahsa Type1 and Al-Ahsa Type2 rice varieties gave the highest values in protein percentage, which gave 10.80 and 9.80%. Correlation coefficients among the nine grain quality traits clarifying eight absolute positive correlation grain length with grain shape, grain width with hulling % and head rice %; grain shape with amylose content %; hulling % with milled rice and head rice %; milled rice % with head rice %; head rice % with gelatinization temperature. On the other hand, there were seven absolute negative correlations between grain length with grain width; grain width with grain shape and amylose content %; grain shape with hulling % and head rice %; amylose content % with milled rice %, head rice % and gelatinization temperature. In micronutrient elements Al-Ahsa Type1 and Al-Ahsa Type2 varieties gave the heights value for N, P, K, Mg %. Also, gave the heights value for Na (73.25, 73), Fe (20.12, 19.80), and Zn (125.60, 122.70). Pearson’s correlation observed eight absolute positive and significant correlations, which were between; nitrogen content (N), P, K, Mg, Na, Fe, Zn, Cu and protein percentage.

Influence of mineral nutrition on yield yield and quality of winter wheat surflower

Early flowering, good grain quality mutants through gamma rays and EMS for enhancing per day productivity in rice (Oryza sativa L.)

Purpose Rice is the prominent crop of world and it frames the important component of food chain. But, long duration of highly preferred rice varieties requires more water and are prone to biotic and abiotic stresses. Short duration rice varieties serve as a promising alternative in such cases. Hence, the present study was taken up to induce early flowering mutants in popular rice variety Bapatla 2231 (BPT 2231), a long duration medium slender rice variety using gamma rays and Ethyl Methane Sulfonate (EMS) treatment combinations. Materials and methods Five hundred well filled and viable grains of optimum moisture content (12%) were subjected to irradiation with 8 doses comprising 100 Gy, 200 Gy, 300 Gy, 350 Gy, 400 Gy, 450 Gy, 500 Gy and 600 Gy treatments. For combination treatments, the irradiated seeds of gamma rays were further treated with 30 mM concentrations of Ethyl Methane sulfonate (EMS). The irradiated population were raised up to M3 generation for the identification of early maturing mutants. The isolated early maturing mutants in M3 generation were characterized for phenotypic, biochemical and grain qualities. Results The frequency of desirable early maturing mutants was observed more in combination treatments than the individual treatments of gamma rays. A total of 34 early maturing mutants (M) with variation for grain quality and biochemical traits were obtained. The mutants M-1, M-3, M-5, M-32, and M-34 were high yielding with fine grain type. The mutants M-4, M-17, M-18, M-19, M-20, and M-26 were high yielding with bold grain type. The mutants M-22, M-23, M-24, M-27, and M-28 were high in nutrient content. The early mutants matured 40−50 days earlier than control. Conclusion In this variety, the combination treatments showed higher mutation frequency, mutagenic effectiveness and efficiency than the gamma rays in induction of both chlorophyll and viable mutants. This study revealed that the combination treatments were more effective in inducing early mutants than the gamma ray treatments alone. The early maturing mutants can be released as variety after evaluation under different yield trials and the mutants with increased nutrient content and varied grain quality can be utilized in hybridization/heterosis breeding programs for rice crop improvement.

Substitution Mapping of Two Closely Linked QTLs on Chromosome 8 Controlling Grain Chalkiness in Rice

Rice varieties are required to have high yield and good grain quality. Grain chalkiness and grain shape are two important traits of rice grain quality. Low chalkiness slender grains are preferred by most rice consumers. Here, we dissected two closely linked quantitative trait loci (QTLs) controlling grain chalkiness and grain shape on rice chromosome 8 by substitution mapping. Two closely linked QTLs controlling grain chalkiness and grain shape were identified using single-segment substitution lines (SSSLs). The two QTLs were then dissected on rice chromosome 8 by secondary substitution mapping. qPGC8.1 was located in an interval of 1382.6 kb and qPGC8.2 was mapped in a 2057.1 kb region. The maximum distance of the two QTLs was 4.37 Mb and the space distance of two QTL intervals was 0.72 Mb. qPGC8.1 controlled grain chalkiness and grain width. qPGC8.2 was responsible for grain chalkiness, grain length and width. The additive effects of qPGC8.1 and qPGC8.2 on grain chalkiness were not affected by higher temperature. Two closely linked QTLs qPGC8.1 and qPGC8.2 were dissected on rice chromosome 8. They controlled the phenotypes of grain chalkiness and grain shape. The two QTLs were insensitive to higher temperature.

Towards pressureless sintering of nanocrystalline tungsten

The challenge of sintering ultrafine-grained tungsten to >99% density and towards nanocrystallinity is hereby addressed by optimized pressureless two-step sintering. It successfully produced tungsten samples with 99.3% theoretical density and 290 nm average grain size, with a uniform grain structure, good grain boundary cohesion, and 7.8 GPa hardness that is the highest in all pressurelessly sintered tungsten. The critical role of initial powders and the resultant green bodies was noted, which greatly affects later-on sintering kinetics and microstructural uniformity. Several key questions concerning two-step sintering of metallic tungsten were addressed, including the selection of the first- and second-step sintering temperatures, the thermodynamically required critical density to start the second-step sintering, and grain growth kinetics during sintering. The lessons learned here should be directly transferable to other refractory metals and their alloys and would help address the ultimate task of pressureless sintering of bulk nanocrystalline refractory metals/alloys.

Results study foreign varieties and agrotechniqs of buchwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum Moench)

Buckwheat is one of the most important traditional pseudocereals and a multipurpose crop, belonging to genus Fagopirum of the family Polygonaceae. Buckwheat grain grown mainly for human consumption and as animal feed, although it can also be used as a vegetable, a green manure crop, as a smother crop to crowd out weeds and as a source of buckwheat honey. Common buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum Moench) has been a crop of secondary importance in many countries and it has persisted through centuries of civilization and enters into the agriculture of nearly every country where cereals are cultivated. The objective of the research was to establish optimal agrotechnology including, possible varieties, vegetation period, planting space and seed quality in cultivating Fagopyrum esculentum Moench in Central cropping region of Mongolia. The results showed the chosen varieties matured around 88 to 108 days of planting and the harvest weighed 5.8-11.3 centner per hectare. Among them, the russian variety, Zyemlyachka, planted on 15th May, provided the greatest yield at 1.8-3.2 centner per hectare. Furthermore, planting the said cultivar at a distance of 30 cm between rows, resulted in higher yield (1.30-3.91 centner per hectare) than other alternatives. All of the chosen varieties in the study yielded high quality seeds, good grain evenness and less hulled seeds.

Rice Yield Simulation and Planting Suitability Environment Pattern Recognition at a Fine Scale

Analyzing rice yields and multidimensional environmental factors at a fine scale facilitates the discovery of the planting environment patterns that guide the spatial layout of rice production. This study uses Pucheng County, Fujian Province, a demonstration county of China Good Grains and Oils, as the research area. Using actual rice yield sample data and environment data, a yield simulation model based on random forest regression is constructed to realize a fine-scale simulation of rice yield and its spatial distribution pattern in Pucheng County. On this basis, we construct a method system to identify spatial combination patterns between rice yields and fine-scale multidimensional environmental planting suitability using rice yield data and environmental planting suitability evaluation data. We categorize the areas into four combination model areas to analyze the spatial correlation model of planting suitability, multidimensional environment, and yield: higher-yield and higher-suitability cluster–comprehensive environmental-advantage areas, high-yield and high-suitability cluster–soil condition-limited areas, moderate-yield and moderate-suitability cluster–irrigation and drainage condition-limited areas, and low-yield and low-suitability cluster–site condition-limited areas. The following results are found. (1) The rice yield simulation model, which is based on random forest regression, considers the various complex relationships between yield and natural as well as human factors to realize the refined simulation of rice yields at a county scale. (2) The county rice yield has a strong positive spatial correlation, and the spatial clustering characteristics are obvious; these relationships can provide a basis for effectively implementing intensive rice planting in Pucheng County. (3) We construct a spatial combination pattern recognition method based on rice yield and environmental planting suitability. We can use this method to effectively identify the spatial relationship between yield and planting suitability as well as the shortcomings and advantages of different regions in terms of the climate, soil, irrigation, site, mechanical farming, and similar factors. On this basis, we can provide regional rice planting guidance for Pucheng County. In addition, this method system also provides a new perspective and method for research into spatial combination models and related spatial issues.

Biochemical grain quality indicators and photosynthetic rate of leaves in modern varieties of winter wheat

Modern agriculture is waiting for selection to create varieties, forming high, stable and high-quality grain crops in different conditions of cultivation. Although, recognized varieties of winter wheat don’t always ensure getting high and good quality grain crops. Resolution of this problem is seen in more profound study of photosynthetic activity of plants and and using its indices in selection. During the years of research the interval of genotypic variation in crop power of culture grain was somewhere in between 2.6…5.5 t/ha. Content of protein and fibrin in the studied breeds was varying average from 13.5 to 16.0 % and from 21.1 to 28.5 %, respectively. Between indices of crop power and content of protein the correlation parameter was changing from -0.27 to +0.16, but with fibrin in content – from -0.16 to +0.18. Connection of photosynthesis and transpiration activity with grain quality was more considerable. Correlation coefficient between photosynthetic rate of leaves and content of protein and fibrin was positive and equal to 0.62 and 0.47 respectively, but between transpiration rate and content of protein and fibrin amounted to -0.34 and -0.15, respectively. It’s established that the higher the correlation of photosynthetic rate with transpiration activity of leaves among varieties of culture, the better the quality of developing grain crops. Evaluating the genotypes of winter wheat taking into consideration the effectiveness of using water allowed establishing a broad range of indices variation – from 1.88 to 4.19. Varieties with high value of this index (from 3.41 to 4.19 CO2/H2O) were characterized by increased content of both protein and fibrin: Moskovskaya 39 - 14.5 % and 24.1 %, respectively, Moskovskaya 40 - 15.0 % and 24.8 %, respectively.

Nitrogen use efficiency under flood irrigation system is generally low (30%) in field crops, which is one of the fundamental factors of high production cost in the developing countries. Optimum rate and timing of N-application is otherwise important to harvest good quality grain for backing in the recent climate change scenario. Optimum N-rate (NAR) corresponds with the application timing (NAT) has resulted in good quality grains. Aim of the study was to focus on spring wheat grain quality and N use efficiency (NUE) with NAR {i.e., 0, 100, 120, 140 and 160 kg ha-1) and NAT (i.e., 100% at sowing (NAR1), 50% at sowing and 50% at tillering (NAT2), 25% at sowing, 50% at tillering and 25% at booting (NAT3) and 25% at sowing, 25% at tillering and 50% at booting (NAT4)}. Treatment impacts were investigated focusing grain yield, grain-N, and quality parameters (i.e., crude protein, gluten, amylose and amylopectin). Experiment was a randomized complete block, in three replications, conducted at Agronomy Res. Farm of the University of Agric. Peshawar in 2016-17 and repeated in 2017-18. Results showed the highest NUE in100 kg N ha-1, followed by a decreasing rate (p&lt;0.05) for every next N-increment. While averaged on N-rates, the highest NUE observed in NAT3 which did not differ fromNAT4 but decreased (p&lt;0.05) for treatment NAT2 with lowest for theNAT1. Pakhtunkhuwa-2015 showed higher NUE among the varieties. Grain-N, grain yield, gluten and amylose did not differ with NAR 140 and 160 kg ha-1 as well as for the NAT3 and NAT4 but decreased for NAT2 and the lowest was noted for NAT1. The N-content of wheat grain was highest in Pakhtunkhuwa-2015, followed by Pirsabak-2015 and the lowest in DN-84. Nonetheless, grain amylopectin showed a reduction with increasing NAR and/or split N-applications from one to two and/or three doses. Cultivars did not show any changes in the amylopectin. It is concluded that in recent climate changes where flood irrigation system is practiced, three N-splits (NAT3 or NAT4) resulted higher quality grains with140 kg N ha-1 to wheat crop

‘GA JT141‐14E45’: A new soft red winter wheat cultivar adapted to Georgia and the U.S. Southeast region

AbstractIn Georgia and the southeast region of the United States, acreage of soft red winter wheat (SRWW) (Triticum aestivum L.) has decreased in recent years. There is an urgent need to release new cultivars with high yield potential, resistance to yield‐limiting diseases and insects, and good baking quality to maximize value in regional markets. To address this, the SRWW breeding program at the University of Georgia (UGA), in collaboration with the SUNGRAINS breeding programs, developed ‘GA JT141‐14E45’ (Reg. no. CV‐1183, PI 689519), a SRWW cultivar released by the UGA College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences and licensed to AGSouth (AGS) Genetics as AGS 3030. GA JT141‐14E45 is widely adapted to the U.S. Southeast, having high yield, good resistance to diseases such as leaf rust, stripe rust, powdery mildew, and Soil‐borne wheat mosaic virus (SBWMV) and to current biotypes of Hessian fly (Mayetiola destructor Say). It has good resistance to Fusarium head blight (FHB) or scab. GA JT141‐14E45 has good grain volume weight and acceptable milling and baking quality. GA JT141‐14E45 was derived from the cross of ‘AGS 2026’/‘Jamestown’. Jamestown was used in the cross mainly for its resistance to FHB (FHB QTL 1A‐Neuse and 1B‐Jamestown). AGS 2026 is a UGA cultivar released in 2007 with very good disease resistance to rusts (Yr17/Lr37/Sr38), Hessian fly resistance (H13), and excellent yield.
