Variation for N uptake system in maize: genotypic response to N supply
(Frontiers, 2015)An understanding of the adaptations made by plants in their nitrogen (N) uptake systems in response to reduced N supply is important to the development of cereals with enhanced N uptake efficiency (NUpE). Twenty seven ... -
Some records of freshwater snail from the Occupied Palestinian territories
(Jordan Journal of Natural History, 2015)This study contributes to the taxonomy and distribution of the freshwater snail fauna in the Occupied Palestinian Territories. A total of 10 species of freshwater snails belonging to five families (Neritidae, Melanopsidae, ... -
Combining field performance with controlled environment plant imaging to identify the genetic control of growth and transpiration underlying yield response to water-deficit stress in wheat
(2015-07-15)Crop yield in low-rainfall environments is a complex trait under multigenic control that shows significant genotype×environment (G×E) interaction. One way to understand and track this trait is to link physiological studies ... -
CONTEXT-FREENESS OF THE LANGUAGES OF SCH UTZENBERGER AUTOMATA OF HNN-EXTENSIONS OF FINITE INVERSE SEMIGROUPS
(PUBLICATIONS DE L'INSTITUT MATHEMATIQUE, 2016)We prove that the Schutzenberger graph of any element of the HNN-extension of a fnite inverse semigroup S with respect to its standard presentation is a context-free graph, showing that the language L recognized by this ... -
Heat susceptibility of grain filling in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) linked with rapid chlorophyll loss during a 3-day heat treatment
(Springer, 2016)Brief heat events (1–3 days, >30 °C) commonly reduce wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) grain size and consequently yield. To identify mechanisms of tolerance to such short heat events, 36 wheat genotypes were treated under ... -
A QTL on the short arm of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) chromosome 3B affects the stability of grain weight in plants exposed to a brief heat shock early in grain filling
(BioMed Central, 2016)Background: Molecular markers and knowledge of traits associated with heat tolerance are likely to provide breeders with a more efficient means of selecting wheat varieties able to maintain grain size after heat waves during ... -
Biodiversity Conservation of Wadi Al-Quff Proteccted area (Central Palestine): Challenges and Opportunities
(Jordan Journal of Natural History, 2016)The Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPT) are areas of high but threatened biodiversity. Since the establishment of the Palestinian Authority, there have been increased resources devoted to capacity building and to ... -
Invertebrate Fauna of Wadi Al-Quff Protected Area, Palestine
(Jordan Journal of Natural History, 2016)We report results of a preliminary survey of the invertebrate fauna of Wadi Al-Quff area (occupied Palestine). We recorded 23 species of butterflies in 5 families. Moths were a difficult group to classify but we have at ... -
Change of diet of the Eurasian Eagle Owl, Bubo bubo, suggest decline in biodiversity in Wadi Al Makhrour, Bethlehem Governorate, Palestinian Territories
(Slovak Raptor Journal, 2016)The diet of the Eurasian eagle owl (Bubo bubo) was studied in Wadi Al Makhrour, Bethlehem, Palestinian Territories in 2015 with fresh and several year old pellets. Three species of arthropods, one reptile species, at least ... -
Genotoxicity of recycling electronic waste in Idhna, Hebron District, Palestine
(International Journal of Environmental Studies, 2016)Most Electronic waste (e-waste) ends up in landfills while some is recycled. A major site for e-waste recycling in Palestine is the village of Idhna in the Hebron District and most of this waste originates from Israel. ... -
Some Records of Butterflies (Lepidoptera) from the Palestinian Territories
(Jordan Journal of Biological Sciences, 2016)Butterflies were collected from 49 localities in the occupied West Bank of Jordan (Palestinian Territories). Fifty-four species were identified belonging to five families (Papilionidae, Pieridae, Lycaenidae, Hesperiidae, ... -
SOME RECORDS OF REPTILES FROM THE PALESTINIAN TERRITORIES
(Russian Journal of Herpetology, 2016)Distributional data for 36 species belonging to 13 families are presented for the reptiles of the Palestinian Territories. Scientific names were updated based on recent literature. This is the first account on the reptiles ... -
Undecidability of the word problem for Yamamura’s HNN-extension under nice conditions
(Semigroup Forum, 2016-04)The solvability of the word problem for Yamamura’s HNN-extensions [S; A1, A2; ϕ] has been proved in some particular cases. However, we show that, contrary to the group case, the word problem for [S; A1A2; ϕ] is undecidable ... -
Variation in shoot tolerance mechanisms not related to ion toxicity in barley
(CSIRO, 2017)Soil salinity can severely reduce crop growth and yield. Many studies have investigated salinity tolerance mechanisms in cereals using phenotypes that are relatively easy to measure. The majority of these studies measured ... -
Grasshoppers and locusts (Orthoptera: Caelifera) from the Palestinian territories at the Palestine Museum of Natural History
(Zoology and Ecology, 2017)We report on the collection of grasshoppers and locusts from the Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPT) studied at the nascent Palestine Museum of Natural History. Three hundred and forty specimens were collected during ... -
Cancer Immunotherapy with CAR-T cells for Hematological Malignancies
(Scientific & Academic Publishing, 2017-04)Cancer treatment for hematological malignancies traditionally included systemic chemotherapy and localized radiotherapy for central nervous system (CNS) disease. These therapies in addition to their adverse effects’ profile ... -
Mapping of novel salt tolerance QTL in an Excalibur× Kukri doubled haploid wheat population
(Springer, 2017-07)Novel QTL for salinity tolerance traits have been detected using non-destructive and destructive phenotyping in bread wheat and were shown to be linked to improvements in yield in saline fields. Abstract Soil salinity ... -
Extraction Method and Evaluation of Phenolics, Flavonoids, Antioxidant activity, Antimicrobial Activity and Minerals of Bitter Lupinus albus in Palestine
(Taylor and Francis, 2018)In this paper, extraction methods for bitter Lupinus albus seeds are described. Samples were either soaked with water (thereafter soaked) or used without soaking (thereafter unsoaked) and were exposed to Soxhlet extraction ...
