Abstract: In rice, Si assimilated from the soil solution is deposited in inter- and intracellular spaces throughout the leaf and stems to form silicified structures (so-called phytoliths). Because K is also present in significant concentrations in rice stems and leaves, the question arises if K is immobilized in the mineralized silica during the precipitation of Si. This work determined whether desilification of the phytolith is a factor regulating K release by implementing batch experiments. Solubility of Si and K of the rice straw heated at different temperatures were examined to identify effect of pretreatment. Analyses of phytoliths using SEM-EDX and X-ray tomographic microscopy in conjunction with the results from batch experiments revealed that K might co-exist with occluded organic matter inside the phytolith structure. In the kinetic experiments, corresponding increases of K and Si concentrations in the supernatants were observed which suggested that desilification of the phytolith is a main factor regulating K release. The extent of heat pretreatment of the rice straw is of significant importance with respect to dissolution of the phytolith by affecting organic removal and surface modification. At temperatures lower than 600 degrees C, corresponding increases of the soluble Si and K with heating temperature have been obviously observed. In contrast, the solubility of Si and K gradually decreased at temperatures above 600 degrees C. This work provides insights into factors that control release of K and Si from phytolith and a practical recommendation for practices of burning rice straw that may maximize subsequent release of Si and K for crops. 2014 Elsevier Ltd.

Development and regulation of pedicel abscission in tomato

Hình ảnh
To shed unfertilized flowers or ripe fruits, many plant species develop a pedicel abscission zone (AZ), a specialized tissue that develops between the organ and the main body of the plant. Regulation of pedicel abscission is an important agricultural concern because pre-harvest abscission can reduce yields of fruit or grain crops, such as apples, rice, wheat, etc. Tomato has been studied as a model system for abscission, as tomato plants develop a distinct AZ at the midpoint of the pedicel and several tomato mutants, such as jointless, have pedicels that lack an AZ. This mini-review focuses on recent advances in research on the mechanisms regulating tomato pedicel abscission. Molecular genetic studies revealed that three MADS-box transcription factors interactively play a central role in pedicel AZ development. Transcriptome analyses identified activities involved in abscission and also found novel transcription factors that may regulate AZ activities. Another study ide...

Multi-class minimax probability machine

This paper investigates the multi-class Minimax Probability Machine (MPM). MPM constructs a binary classifier that provides a worst-case bound on the probability of misclassification of future data points, based on reliable estimates of means and covariance matrices of the classes from the training data points. We propose a method to adapt MPM to multi-class datasets using the one-against-all strategy. And then we introduce an optimal kernel for MPM for each specific dataset found by Genetic Algorithms (GA) [1]. The proposed method was evaluated on stomach cancer data. The obtained results are better and more stable than for using a single kernel.

Quản lý đội ngũ công chức, viên chức của Tổng cục Dự trữ Nhà nước

Hình ảnh
Quản lý CCVC là vấn đề hệ trọng, phức tạp và nhạy cảm vì đây là một nguồn nhân lực đặc biệt của quốc gia, là đội ngũ nhân danh quyền lực nhà nước trong hoạt động công vụ. Quản lý hiệu quả đội ngũ CCVC có ý nghĩa quan trọng để phát huy nội lực của nền hành chính nhà nước. Có thể nói, công tác quản lý CCVC ở nƣớc ta còn nhiều hạn chế, cần những ý kiến đóng góp để nâng cao chất luợng công tác quản lý CCVC. Vì vậy, quản lý CCVC đang là vấn đề đƣợc sự quan tâm của nhiều nhà nghiên cứu, nhà quản lý, đặc biệt là trong giai đoạn đẩy mạnh cải cách hành chính nhà nước như hiện nay.
