Water use and productivity of two small reservoir irrigation schemes in Ghanas upper east region por Faulkner, J.W., Steenhuis, Tammo S., Giesen, Nick van de, Andreini, Marc, Liebe, J.

“…There was a strong contrast in water availability between the two systems, the Tanga system having a higher amount of available water than did the Weega system. The concept of relative water supply was used to confirm this disparity; Tanga was an inefficient system with a relative water supply of 5.7, compared to a value of 2.4 for the efficient Weega system. …”

A model to incorporate the bHLH transcription factor OsIRO3 within the rice iron homeostasis regulatory network por Carey-Fung, Oscar, O'Brien, Martin, Beasley, Jesse T., Johnson, Alexander A. T.

“…The iro3 mutant plants had similar phenotype under nutrient-sufficient conditions and had stunted growth under Fe-deficient conditions, relative to a T-DNA free, wild-type control (WT). Under Fe deficiency, iro3 mutant shoots had reduced expression of Fe chelator biosynthetic genes (OsNAS1, OsNAS2, and OsNAAT1) and upregulated expression of an Fe transporter gene (OsYSL15), relative to WT shoots. …”
