(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, 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 ...
-
(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 ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1982)Rice is the main staple food in Sri Lanka. The domestic production is insufficient to meet the local requirements and Sri Lanka is dependent on imports of rice and wheat flour to feed its population. To increase the rice ...
-
(Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1993)Information about rice heterotic patterns and genetic diversity as revealed by restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) could assist rice breeders in selection of parents. The objectives of this study were to: (1) ...
-
(2020-11-25)Salinity is the most extensive problem in coastal rice eco-systems and tolerance at reproductive stage of rice is crucial for higher grain yield. In this study, two salt-tolerant varieties, CSR28 and Hasawi, and a ...
