(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1978)Oryza sativa (Rice) was anther cultured to produce callus and subsequently plants. It was shown that these plants were pollen derived and at least a portion of them were haploid. By using a cold-shock of 13°C, about 74% ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1991)Most activities of the rice industry in Taiwan are affected by rice policy. Accordingly, it is important to impose an appropriate rice policy. Previous research indicates that rice policy has had different major objectives ...
-
(2022-03-14)Agricultural productivity is severely limited by environmental stresses that affect plants. Environmental stresses can be classified as abiotic or biotic. This study focuses on drought and saline stress, the two significant ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1986)Three crop moisture stress indices (CMSI1, CMSI2 and CMSI3) are proposed. In computing index 1 and 2, stress is assumed to occur when the actual to potential transpiration ratio (AT/PT) falls below a critical level, while ...
-
(2015-05-01)Sheath blight caused by Rhizoctonia solani is one of the most important rice disease that can cause significant losses in grain yield and quality in the United States. Current management options for sheath blight consist ...
-
(2018-07-26)In order to meet the needs of a growing population, rice production must be doubled by 2050 in comparison to 2005 production levels. However, rice production faces many challenges including rising temperatures, drought, ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)Genetic resource enhancement is the foundation of any good breeding program. Landraces from West Africa, interspecifics between Oryza sativa and Oryza glaberrima and improved lines from the West African Rice Development ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1978)As in other developing countries, where rice is produced as the only staple food of the population, Thai rice production is significantly dependent upon physical factors such as rainfall and irrigation facilities, rather ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1988)Updating of the treatment recommendations used by Texas rice producers' for the management of the rice stink bug (RSB) is the objective of this study. Present treatment recommendations used in Texas and throughout the ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)A greenhouse study was conducted to investigate the mechanisms causing diurnal variations in methane emission from rice plants (Oryza sativa L.). Methane emission was measured using a closed chamber system on individual ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1980)Rough rice may fissure if it is exposed to an adverse environment for a certain period of time. The fissured rough rice will then cause a reduced head rice yield after milling. A Hart Uni-Flow Cylinder Tester was used to ...
-
(2010-07-14)Seasonally high nighttime temperatures (HNT) along the United States Gulf Coast and in regions of similar climate, during the critical stages of development, could reduce rice yield and quality. To study the effects of HNT ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1990)Effects of high temperature upon photosynthesis, respiration, and growth and yield of rice plants (Oryza sativa L.) were studied under controlled environments. Photosynthesis and respiration were determined by the CO2 ...
-
(2018-05-22)Arsenic (As) is a toxic element widely encountered in the environment and a food safety concern. The use of engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) has grown rapidly due to the unique properties that make them beneficial in a wide ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1992)Ultimate tensile and compressive strengths, corresponding moduli of elasticity, and compressive stress relaxation properties (relaxation time constants) of parboiled brown rice were investigated. Samples were prepared from ...
-
(2021-02-01)This dissertation examines impacts of product information and environmental events on individual behavior and the economy. This is done using a causal inference econometric approach, an eye-tracking laboratory experiment, ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1980)Investigations were conducted on moisture removal from high moisture freshly harvested rough rice under different flash-drying screen temperatures for different exposure periods. Other observations of effects on shelling, ...

-
(2019-07-11)Rice is one of the most important crops that feeds more than half of the world’s population. Along with the escalating problems with climate change, drought and submergence events have increased in recent years and have ...
-
(2021-04-20)Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is the major source of calories for more than half of the world population. Dry direct-seeded rice is becoming increasingly popular in rainfed and irrigated ecosystems worldwide mainly due to labor ...
