Published: January 1977

Measurements of phytochrome by Δ (ΔA725-815 nm) were completely suppressed at chlorophyll concentrations of the order of 20-40 μg g(-1) f.wt. in vivo and 37 μg cm(-3) in vitro, and the readings were reduced by 50% at only 12 μg cm(-3) in vitro. At these concentrations of chlorophyll in aqueous methanol, the loss of phytochrome signal in vitro appeared to be due to failure of phytochrome photoconversion rather than to interference with ΔA measuremebt by chlorophyll fluorescence in the 125/815 nm measuring beam.

This work is dedicated to study the potential application of char byproducts obtained in the gasification of rice husk (RG char) and rice husk blended with corn cob (RCG char) as removal agents of two emergent aquatic contaminants: tetracycline and caffeine. The chars presented high ash contents (59.5-81.

From May to June 2011, during a survey of the wheat-growing areas in Meknes in the Saïs Region of Morocco, several cyst nematode populations were detected. Sampling was performed 1 month before wheat (Triticum durum) harvest, in fields showing patches of stunted plants. Plants were growing poorly, had chlorotic lower leaves, and a reduced numbers of ears.
