Areza-Ubaldo, Maria Buena B., Rillo, Erlinda P., Cueto, Cristeta A.. Philippine Journal of Science, 2005, 132(1):1-11 The improved basal medium for coconut embryo culture was verified for the mass propagation of Makapuno seedlings. Results confirmed earlier findings that coconut zygotic embryos develop satisfactorily in the improved embryo culture medium. This medium consists of Eeuwens (Y3) (1976) and various additives. The entire cycle to produce one embryo cultured makapuno seedling costs P265.45 (as of Feb 2002) compared with the original PCA-Albay Research Center protocol (ARC) (P301.84). This improved embryo culture technology is now adapted to mass produce Makapuno seedlings nationwide. (Author\'s abstract) Coconut embryo culture. Philippine coconut authority (PCA).

Philippine Journal of Science, 2005, 134(1):21-29 The bioaccumulation (BA) and bioconcentration factor (BCF) of lead (Pb) in the root and shoot tissues of corn seeding were investigated in potted field conditions and were analyzed using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (AAS). Results indicated significant difference on the BA of Pb in the root and the shoot tissues of corn exposed to various Pb(NO3)2 concentrations. Significant (at PZea mays L. IPB var. 911 may be considered to ameliorate Pb-contaminated soils. In situ identification and characterization of Indigenous and tolerant plant species in heavy metal contaminated areas are necessary for future investigation. (Author\'s abstract) Corn. Heavy metals.

Palamine, Maria Teresa L., Cureg, Rommel Gavino A., Marbella, Lucia J., Lapade, Avelina G., Domingo, Zenaida B., Deocaris, Custer C.. Philippine Journal of Science, 2005, 134(2):121-126 Chlorophyll mutation is one of the most frequent phenotypes observed during radiation induced mutation breeding of Dracaena sanderiana var. virescens (common name: green cornplant). Spectral analysis of a stable mutant line irradiated at 20 Gy indicated a decreased ration in chlorophylls a/b (0.74 + 0.104) compared with the wild-type mother plant (1.18 + 0.0665). Calorimetry of isolated chloroplast preparations showed a major difference in thermotropic o o o transition in the range of -50 C to 100 C at TP of 64 C and an enthalpy of -9.68 kJ/g in the chlorophyll-mutant. As these results are consistent with the mutation 1 phenotype and the role played by chlorophyll in lamellar organization, our study shows an interesting application of biophysics in horticulture.

Vinluan, Jr., Felipe D., Dayrit Gaw, Monette, Almonte, Ponciano B.. Philippine Agricultural Mechanization Bulletin, 2005, 9(2):3-7 Rice husk is one of the most abundant agricultural wastes generated in the Philippines. With the 1.8 million metric tons produced annually only 5 percent is utilized productively mainly as energy source for cooking or as soil additive. The rest is burned or left to rot. A useful product that can be produced from the rice husk is carbonized rice husk (CRH). CRH is produced by partial burning of rice husk in a carbonizer. CRH has high water retention, high air permeability, very light in weight and slightly alkaline. In other countries, the common applications of CRH in agriculture are: (1) To increase water and nutrient retention of sandy soils; (2) To improve aeration of clayey soils; and (3) To neutralize acidic soils. CRH contains good quality carbon which encourages the multiplication of microorganisms necessary for plant growth . The beneficial effects of carbonized aorganic material to plant growth has been recognized in traditional agriculture. Crops grow very well in newly opened \"kaingin\" farms where burnt vegetation (charcoal) is abundant. High yield is attained during the first 2-3 croppings even without using commercial fertilizers, CRH is also used as deodorizer for animal manure in poultry, piggery and feedlots. In industry, CRH is used as heat insulation material for pig iron in blast furnaces, as oil absorber and as component for brick making. The other uses of CRH include waste water treatment and for melting snow during winter. Recognizing the potential of CRH, various organizations have ventured into the design of cost-effective carbonizers; production and sale for local and export markets; and field testing and utilization for agriculture. The ITDI-DOST, a government research institution spearheaded the acquisition of technical information from abroad on the production and utilization of CRH. About ninety (90) percent of CRH produced by AIM-DM amounting to 30 metric tons a month is for the export market mainly Japan. On the average, the company ships out 3 units 40-foot containers every month with each container valued at US$ 1,600. In the local market, agribusiness companies have started using CRH. Utilization technologies developed in other countries are being adopted locally. Among these are the ELRO Commercial and Industrial Corp. (ELRO-CIC) and the Bais MultiFarms, Inc. (BMI) of the Elizalde - Roxas Group. Their CRH requirement is supplied by the AIM-DM plant. ELRO-CIC has also established a fertilizer plant that produces organic fertilizer blends using CRH as an ingredient. (Author\'s abstract) Agriculture. Rice husk.

Lasalita-Zapico, Florence C., Namocatcat, Jaime A., Cariño-Turner, Josephine L.. Philippine Journal of Science, 2005, 139(2):177-180 In situ characterization was carried out for thirty two traditional upland rice cultivars in Kihan, Malapatan, Sarangani Province using ten morpho-agronomic characters at the reproductive stage, as prelude to genetic diversity analysis of the Province\'s traditional rice gene pool. Cluster analysis revealed four groups, each group representing a distinct set of morpho-agronomic values, while Principal component analysis, which also sorted the cultivars into four clusters showed two principal components accounting for about 82.7% of total variance observed. Comparison of PCA and dendrogram groupings revealed generally similar trends, though slight inconsistencies were observed in terms of cluster composition. Pearson\'s correlation analysis of the morphological traits suggests that these traits are significantly and positively correlated with each other except for the flag leaf angle. Though inconclusive due to susceptibility of the evaluated morphological traits to environmental conditions, this study assessed the overall genetic diversity pattern of traditional upland rice cultivars based on morpho-agronomic variations that can be further subjected to more robust tests involving molecular markers.

NAGA the ICLARM quarterly, 2005, 29(1-2):48-52 In the State of Assam, floodplains cover 2.6 million ha of area that is traditionally rice growing. The ecosystem in the rice-growing areas has undergone major changes as a result of various developmental activities and adoption of modern farming technology. Rice fields were once the major source of fish for the rural farmers. There has been a sharp decline in fish population in rice field leading to a chronic shortage of fish in the State and a deterioration of the rice ecosystem. This paper describes two on-farm experiments for integrating rice cultivation and fish production with the intent of contributing to the understanding of how raising fish can improve rice yields, rice ecosystems and farm incomes.

  • Final Screening Assessment of Bacillus Thuringiensis Strain ATCC 13367
    Final Screening Assessment of Bacillus thuringiensis strain ATCC 13367 Environment and Climate Change Canada Health Canada March 2018 Synopsis Pursuant to paragraph 74(b) of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 (CEPA), the Minister of the Environment and the Minister of Health have conducted a screening assessment of Bacillus thuringiensis strain ATCC1 13367 (B. thuringiensis strain ATCC 13367). B. thuringiensis strain ATCC 13367 is a facultative anaerobic Gram-positive bacterium. As a species, Bacillus thuringiensis (B. thuringiensis) is generally considered ubiquitous and commonly found in terrestrial and aquatic habitats. B. thuringiensis is able to form spores which can withstand harsh environmental conditions and survive under conditions of nutrient depletion. Various characteristics of B. thuringiensis make it suitable for use as an active ingredient in commercial and consumer products, including degreasers, detergents, and additives in bioremediation and biodegradation and in various industrial processes. B. thuringiensis is known particularly for the production of crystal proteins (Cry toxins) which are toxic for various Orders of insects (mainly lepidopterans, dipterans and coleopterans). In particular, B. thuringiensis strain ATCC 13367 is known to produce a Cry 1B (Cry1Ba) toxin, which is known to be selectively toxic towards insect species of the Order Lepidoptera, and towards a few species of the Orders Diptera and Coleoptera. Despite the ubiquity and abundant use of various B. thuringiensis subspecies, , there are no known adverse population– level effects on target species in the ecosystems where it is used, and no adverse effects on non-target terrestrial or aquatic plants, vertebrates or invertebrates B. thuringiensis is not considered a human pathogen and to date no mammalian pathogenicity and toxicity study has demonstrated that commercial spore preparations of any B.

  • Pésaj 5773-2013 Pésaj
    Tipografía: Lowvetica regular Colores: Pantone 281 Negro 100% Negro 30% Azul 281 y Gris Azul 281 y Blanco Azul 281 Azul 281 y Gris Azul 281 y Blanco Azul 281 B”H Negro Gris Gris y Blanco Pésaj 5773-2013 Pésaj Manual de Pésaj para el consumidor Kosher Estimados amigos: Estamos próximos a la festividad de Pésaj, en la cual la Torá permite única- mente el consumo de cereales no leudados, quedando prohibido el jametz. Están incluidos en esta categoría los panes, galletas y demás productos que contengan trigo, cebada y los otros cereales especificados en la Torá. Adicionalmente la Torá nos encomienda no tener el jametz en nuestra po- sesión durante Pésaj. Si hace algunos años era muy simple saber qué producto contiene jametz y cuál no, con el desarrollo y los avances de los últimos años de la industria Introducción alimenticia, y con el uso de cada vez más ingredientes en la elaboración de productos para el consumo humano, se requiere de un gran conocimien- to de procesos e ingredientes para poder garantizar que no contienen jametz, incluso en ocasiones teniendo que visitar e inspeccionar la planta de producción para poder asegurar al consumidor Kosher que el producto que llega a su mesa durante Pésaj es 100% libre de jametz. Por ello en los últimos años el Comité de Kashrut se ha esforzado en rea- lizar las inspecciones e investigaciones necesarias, e incluso producciones especiales cuando el caso lo amerita, para así poder ofrecer a nuestra Comunidad una gama completa de productos para Pésaj, desarrollándose así la tradicional venta anual de Pésaj que se realiza en el Templo Maguén David, así como en el Centro Maguén David.
