Evaluation of the Feeding Value of Palm Press Fibre Using In Vitro Digestibility Techniques

Palm press fibre (PPF) was obtained from two sources, a small-scale oil palm processing unit and a large-scale factory processing unit, and its chemical composition was determined. In vitro digestibility techniques were used to assess the feeding value of untreated, defatted and sodium hydroxide-treated PPF. For the NaOH treatment, 0.5 g oven-dried PPF was treated for 24 h with 5% NaOH in three ways: treated and not washed (NaNW); treated and washed (NaW); and treated after milling (NAD).The results indicate that, on a dry matter basis, PPF is low in nitrogen (12–13 g/kg), moisture (37–90 g/kg) and ash (53–62 g/kg), but high in ether extract (269–355 g/kg), neutral detergent fibre (532–768 g/kg), acid detergent fibre (375–548 g/kg) and lignin (219 g/kg). The in vitro dry matter digestibility values were low for the samples from both sources, but the large-scale factory-processed PPF had higher in vitro dry matter digestibility (0.215 vs 0.166) and in vitro organic matter digestibility (0.196 vs 0.145). Defatting the PPF and treating it with 5% NaOH solution significantly (p<0.01) improved both the dry matter and organic matter digestibility. Washing the NaOH-treated PPF resulted in a higher digestibility of dry matter as against NaNW or NAD. These results suggest that defatting and treatment with 5% NaOH would improve the feeding value of PPF.

Molecular characterization of A2 and D strains of Soybean mosaic virus, which caused a recent virus outbreak in soybean cultivar Sachiyutaka in Chugoku and Shikoku regions of Japan

Coat protein sequences of two isolates in strain A₂ and five isolates in strain D of Soybean mosaic virus (SMV), which caused a recent mosaic outbreak in soybeans (cv. Sachiyutaka) in Chugoku and Shikoku in Japan, were compared to published data on 15 other Asian-origin isolates. Sequence comparison and cluster analysis showed that SMV isolates of strain A₂ from these districts were closely related, as were those of strain D, but strains A₂ and D were not. Thus, the two strains may have different origins and be carried through seed transmission.     

Infectivity analysis of a soybean isolate of Mungbean yellow mosaic India virus by agroinoculation

Yellow mosaic disease (YMD) of legumes endemic to South Asia are caused by begomoviruses transmitted by whiteflies. Based on molecular characterization, two distinct viruses – Mungbean yellow mosaic India virus (MYMIV) and Mungbean yellow mosaic virus (MYMV) – were found previously to be the etiological agents of YMD in legumes. Here, host range studies with a soybean isolate of MYMIV (MYMIV-[Sb]) were carried out by both whitefly transmission and agroinoculation. MYMIV-[Sb] was similar to a cowpea isolate of MYMIV (MYMIV-[Cp]) in its ability to infect cowpea, thus differing from blackgram (MYMIV) and mungbean (MYMIV-[Mg]) isolates, which do not infect cowpea. Genomic analysis of DNA A and DNA B components of these MYMIV isolates show characteristic differences in complete DNA B nucleotide sequence correlating with host range differences.

Water Requirements of Safflower Entries in Middle Egypt

Two promising selected land races of safflower ( Carthamns tinctorious L.) designated as line 11 and line 13, together with the local variety Giza 1 , were examined under three levels of moisture depletions, i.e. 40, 60 and 80 % ASMD at Fayoum, Middle Egypt during 1986/87 and 1987/88 seasons. In both growing seasons, the second irrigation treatment i.e. 60 % ASMD gave the highest means for growth characters as well as seed yield and most of its components. Seed oil content per cent exhibited an increased as soil moisture depletion increased with no significant difference between entries. Safflower entries showed clear differences in some yield components which compensate each other and resulted in no significant difference in seed yield per hectar.
Consumptive use of water by safflower plants increased as the available soil moisture around the root zone increased. No significant differences were found in water consumed by safflower entries used in all experiments.
In the two experimental seasons, the best water use efficiency (WUE) for seed production was obtained also from the second treatment (60 % ASMD). The line 11 gave the best WUE.     

大豆种质5621对所衍生品种的遗传贡献

自1961年辽宁大豆种质5621育成后，由5621作为直接亲本先后衍生出7个优良大豆品种，进而由这7个大豆品种衍生出26个品种，在这33个大豆品种中，有15个曾获国家级或省部级科技成果奖励。5621对其衍生品种的遗传贡献主要来自细胞核，仅有6个品种承带5621的细胞质，细胞质的遗传贡献较小。

石油库带掩体油罐防护安全距离的确定

油库安全距离有两个不同的概念，一个是防火安全距离；另一个是防护安全距离。针对如何科学地确定油库防护安全距离这一问题，对炸弹的破坏因素和建筑物的破坏等级进行了分析与划分，从而根据建筑物的重要性和抗冲击波破坏能力，确定其允许破坏的等级，再由投弹的装药量计算出冲击波的设计安全距离。对于带有掩体的油罐，其防护安全距离的确定应根据允许破坏等级、爆炸位置以及有掩体的两油罐间防护安全距离的计算来确定。
