Increasing night temperature can reduce seed set and potential yield of tropical rice by Ziska, LH, Manalo, PA

“…Recent work suggests that anticipated global warming may be uneven, with a significant increase in night compared to day temperature. Sun-lit, outdoor environment chambers were used to determine the impact of increasing night temperatures at two constant day temperatures (29/21, 29/25, 29/29C and 33/25, 33/29 and 33/33C) as well as increasing day/night temperature (29/21, 33/25 and 36/29C) on growth and yield of rice (cv. …”

Analysis of the contrast between natural occurence of toxigenic Aspergillii of the Flavi section and aflatoxin B1 in cassava by Adjovi, Y.C.S., Bailly, S., Gnonlonfin, G.J.B., Tadrist, S., Querin, A., Sanni, A., Oswald, I.P., Puel, O., Bailly, J.D.

“…The anti-aflatoxin property was observed with cassava from different geographical origins and on other aflatoxigenic strains of the section Flavi, but it was lost after heating, sun drying and freezing. Our data suggest that fresh cassava is safe regarding AFB1 contamination, however, processing may alter its ability to block toxinogenesis leading to secondary contamination.…”

Replacing commercial concentrate by Ficus thonningii improved productivity of goats in Ethiopia by Balehegn, M., Eik, L.O., Tesfay, Y.

“…The control group (T1) was fed concentrate mixture at 2 % of their body weight, while in T2, T3, and T4, 25, 50, and 75 % of the weight of concentrate (DM basis), respectively, was replaced by sun dried FT leaf meal. FT leaf meal had acceptable levels crude protein (CP), neutral detergent fiber (NDF), and tannins and has resulted in increased body weight in all treatments. …”

Evaluation of the gene expression of STING, IFN‐β and osteopontin in tissue obtained from pigs treated with Matrix‐M by Balagunaseelan, Navisraj

“…STING is a protein localized in the endoplasmatic reticulum that on activation is believed to enhance the production of Type I interferons (Sun et al., 2009). Overexpression of OPN is believed to play a key role in inducing the production of Interferon‐α and other Type 1 interferons by plasmacytoid dendritic cells (Shinohara et al., 2006). …”

Intake, digestion, and nitrogen utilization by sheep fed tropical legumes with contrasting tannin concentration and astringency by Barahona Rosales, Rolando, Lascano Aguilar, Carlos Eduardo, Cochran, R, Morrill, J, Titgemeyer, EC

“…The test legumes (Desmodium ovalifolium and Flemingia macrophylla) had similar concentrations of extractable CT (90 g/kg DM) but different concentrations of bound CT and astringency of tannins. Chopped, sun-dried forage of each legume was sprayed with either water (control) or polyethylene glycol (PEG, 35 g/kg of DM) to bind extractable CT and fed daily (26 g/kg BW) to eight sheep with ruminal and duodenal cannulas. …”
