Abstract:
... Effects of sulfuric acid on crop yields and on some physical and chemical properties of a calcareous soil were investigated in a field experiment from 1947 through 1952. On cotton plots, the treatments consisted of applications of irrigation water containing no acid (pH 8.3), water acidified to pH 6, and water acidified to pH 2.3. Cotton was grown five season followed by sesbania the sixth season. ...

Abstract:
... To discover whether plasticity in resource allocation differs among related species, we examined variability in seed mass, seeds per fruit, ovules per flower, fruit survivorship, and fruits per unit plant size in Sesbania macrocarpa, S. drummondii, and S. vesicaria. The species differed in the amounts of variability of the different components of yield, and seed mass was not always the least varia ...

Abstract:
... When the stems of Sesbania rostrata, growing vigorously in nutrient solution, are inoculated with Azorhizobium caulinodans ORS 571 and deprived of nitrate, hundreds of nodules with active N₂ fixation (acetylene reduction) develop on each stem within 10 d. The numbers of nodules that develop are not affected by increasing the nitrate concentration in the medium from 0 to 9 mM. However, as the nitra ...

Abstract:
... Major improvements in the productivity of rice (L.) and wheat (L.) have occurred in South Asia since 1965–1966 when the Green Revolution began. However, after the 1980s, yield stagnated or declined. We analyzed grain yield trends, soil C, N, P, and K status, and P and K balances in a 14-yr rice–wheat experiment conducted at Punjab, India with 11 treatments comprised of various combinations of inor ...

Phylogenetic analysis of 330 plastid matK gene sequences, representing 235 genera from 37 of 39 tribes, and four outgroup taxa from eurosids I supports many well-resolved subclades within the Leguminosae. These results are generally consistent with those derived from other plastid sequence data (rbcL and trnL), but show greater resolution and clade support overall. In particular, the monophyly of ...
