A NOVEL STAY-GREEN MUTANT OF RICE WITH DELAYED LEAF SENESCENCE AND BETTER HARVEST INDEX CONFERS DROUGHT TOLERANCE

A Novel Stay-Green Mutant of Rice with Delayed Leaf Senescence and Better Harvest Index Confers Drought Tolerance

Three Ethyl methansulphonate (EMS)-induced stay-green mutants (SGM-1, SGM-2 and SGM-3) and their wild-type (WT), were tested for their Stay-Green (SG) and drought tolerance nature as the relation between these two attributes is not yet established in rice.In the dark induced senescence assay, SGM-3 showed delayed senescence while SGM-1 and SGM-2 sh

Strouhal number analysis for the swimming of little penguin (Eudyptula minor): Proof of efficient underwater propulsion

Penguins are the utmost specialized wing-propelled divers as their flapping action is accountable for the entire underwater propulsion.However, numerical evidence of how efficient their underwater propulsion is has not been studied to date.Literature sources suggest that propulsive efficiency peaks when the Strouhal number (St) ranges between 0.2 a
