| photosynthesis and increased production of protein. | photosynthesis, the use of light energy in the conversion of co2 and inorganic nutrients into plant material, is the ultimate source of the food protein necessary to man's existence. given certain assumptions, the overall maximal theoretical photosynthetic efficiency of agricultural plants can be calculated. actual measured maximal growth rates of plants are equivalent to efficiency levels well below that theoretical maximum. in air, c4 plants can some closer to the theoretical value than c3 pla ... | 1978 | 727014 |
| studies on bacteroid size and nucleic acid content of alfalfa bacteroids fractionated by velocity sedimentation. | a velocity sedimentation procedure was described to fractionate bacteroids of alfalfa nodules into four subpopulations. bacteroids in these subpopulations were different in size and nucleic acid content as determined by microscopy and flow-microfluorometry (fmf). the slowest-sedimenting bacteroids (fraction i) were small and resembled free-living rhizobium meliloti both in size and nucleic acid content. the fastest-sedimenting bacteroids (fraction iv) were 2 to 3 times longer and contained 3 to ... | 1978 | 728854 |
| adaptability of rhizobium meliloti in callus tissues of alfalfa roots. | the establishment of associative interrelations between nodule bacteria and cells of a callus culture of alfalfa roots, evaluated according to the criterion of nitrogenase activity, was accompanied by considerable inhibition of the plant cells in the period of maximum infection as well as by the dispersal of actively multiplying nodule bacteria on the surface of the callus cells in the first 7 days after infection. the dynamics of the localization of nodule bacteria on the surface of callus cell ... | 1978 | 754813 |
| quality and rate of extracellular polysaccharides produced by rhizobium meliloti and their inducing effect on polygalacturonase production in legume roots as derived from the presence of extrachromosomal dna. | the ability of extracellular polysaccharides of different strains of rhizobium meliloti to induce the production of polygalacturonase by roots of medicago sativa seedlings has been studied. some strains showed a high inducing activity while those derived from them, after treatment with acridine orange and in which extrachromosomal dna was absent, did not show this character. a comparative study of polysaccharide production and preliminary studies on the chemical composition of the active fractio ... | 1978 | 755154 |
| integrated pest management in the u.s.: progress and promise. | in the u.s., where heavy use of insecticides has been commonplace for years, the development of proper integrated insect pest control cannot get underway unless there is a changed use pattern for such chemicals. a changed use pattern, however, cannot be accomplished without much study to establish the requirements for integrated control for each major crop situation. in this paper recent developments in a number of crop areas in the u.s. in which the necessary study has been begun are reviewed. ... | 1976 | 789064 |
| microbial fermentation of rice straw: nutritive composition and in vitro digestibility of the fermentation products. | rice straw was fermented with cellulomonas sp. and alcaligenes faecalis. microbial cells and undigested residue, as well as chemically treated (naoh or nh4oh) and untreated straws, were analyzed for nutrient composition and in vitro digestibility. in a typical fermentation, 75% of the rice straw substrate was digested, and 18.6% of the total substrate weight that disappeared was recovered as microbial protein. the microbial cell fraction was 37% protein and 5% crude fiber; the residue was 12% pr ... | 1975 | 804853 |
| responses of rumen microflora to high-concentrate low-roughage diets containing whey products. | after 3 wk on a standardization ration of alfalfa hay and corn silage ad libitum and concentrate at 1 kg/3 kg milk, 15 lactating holstein cows were fed 2.3 kg hay/day and one of five concentrate rations ad libitum for a 6-wk experiment. cows were returned to the standardization ration after the experimental period. concentrate rations during experimental period were: 1) control, 2) 14% dried whole whey, 3) 5.9% high mineral whey product, 4) 11.8% demineralized whey product, and 5) 9.8% lactose. ... | 1976 | 824331 |
| factors affecting the voluntary intake of food by sheep. 1. the role of distension, flow-rate of digesta and propulsive motility in the intestines. | 1. twelve sheep fitted with abomasal cannulas were given ad lib. access to a diet of chopped lucerne (medicago sativa) hay to a ascertain if the amount of digesta being transported by the intestines was limiting intake. if this was the situation, pumping a solution of the bulk-laxative methylcellulose (100 g/kg; mc) into the abomasum should have reduced intake in proportion to the mass of digesta attributable to the mc and associated water. in preliminary experiments faecal water and wet matter ... | 1978 | 698171 |
| influence of a few coat protein subunits on the base-paired structure of the rna species of alfalfa mosaic virus. | differentiated thermal melting profiles were made of all the three rna species (rnas 1, 2 and 3), constituting the genome of alfalfa mosaic virus and of the subgenomic coat protein messenger rna (rna 4) of this virus. whereas all profiles showed multiphasicity the profile of rna 4 was most clearly subdivided showing three clear transitions with tm values of 25.5, 35.5 and 53 degrees c. the first transition disappeared upon addition of 6 coat protein molecules per molecule of rna 4. the effect of ... | 1978 | 698231 |
| comparison of nucleic acid content in populations of free-living and symbiotic rhizobium meliloti by flow microfluorometry. | populations of symbiotic rhizobium meliloti extracted from alfalfa nodules were shown by flow microfluorometry to contain a significant number of bacteroids with higher nucleic acid content than the free-living rhizobia. bacteroids with lower nucleic acid content than the free-living bacteria were not detected in significant quantities in these populations. these results indicate that the incapability of bacteroids to reestablish growth in nutrient media may not be caused by a decrease in nuclei ... | 1977 | 838682 |
| modification by fiber of toxic dietary effects. | there is evidence that type of diet may affect the course of chemical carcinogenesis. in experiments with acetylaminofluorene, rats maintained on stock diet exhibit fewer tumors than do rats fed semi-purified diets. rats fed stock diet augmented with high levels of sodium cyclamate (2.5-10%), amaranth (5%) or tween (15%) showed normal weight gain, whereas addition of these toxicants to a fiber-free basal diet caused severely restricted weight gain and decreased survival. the latter effect can be ... | 1977 | 844613 |
