Crossover from viscous fingering to fracturing in cohesive wet granular media: a photoporomechanics study by Meng, Yue, Li, Wei, Juanes, Ruben

“…We study fluid-induced deformation and fracture of cohesive granular media, and apply photoporomechanics to uncover the underpinning grain-scale mechanics. We fabricate photoelastic spherical particles of diameter d = 2 mm, and make a monolayer granular pack with tunable intergranular cohesion in a circular Hele–Shaw cell that is initially filled with viscous silicone oil. …”

Individual and concurrent effects of heat and drought stress on the growth and yield of two Malaysian rice cultivars by Sethuraman, Gomathy, Mohd Zain, Nurul Amalina, Osman, Normaniza, Ismail, Mohd Razi

“…Individual heat stress greatly influenced rice growth and yield, with significant differences (p < 0.01) observed across all examined parameters except the grain to leaf area index ratio (GtoLAI). Conversely, individual drought stress mostly affected yield-related parameters, with significant differences (p < 0.01) in grain weight (GW), harvest index (HI), and percentage of filled grain (%FG). …”

Physiological and yield performance of commercial rice varieties under cyclic water stress in Malaysia by Zakaria, Nurul-Idayu, Berahim, Zulkarami, M.D. Hatta, Muhammad Asyraf, Omar, Mohamad Husni, Rosle, Rhushalshafira, Ismail, Mohd Razi, Che’Ya, Nik Norasma, Azmi, Asyraf, Mohd Azhan, Mohammad Iqbal Hakim

“…It was found that MR 297 had the shortest plant height, while MR 220-CL2 had a short maturity period, a shorter panicle length, and an enhanced filled grain percentage. Putra 1 and UKM RC8 showed a higher photosynthesis rate, stomatal conductance, and transpiration rate under water limitation at 99 days after sowing (DAS). …”

How did ancient human activities influence the properties and development of soil?—a case study of the Yangshao Village cultural relic site, Henan Province by Zha, Lisi, Wang, Wenjing, Zhong, Junhong, Su, Yiqi, Chang, Dandan

“…Results: We found that the paleoanthropogenic activities started in the relatively low-lying area, in which the slash-and-burn activities resulted in the soil being filled with intrusions such as charcoal debris and ceramic shards. …”

Effects of Sub1 and qDTY on the agro-morpho-physiological traits of rice (Oryza sativa L.) under reproductive stage drought stress by Shakirah Mohammad Nahar, Nur Sakinah Mohd Yusri, Asmuni Mohd Ikmal, Noraziyah Abd Aziz Shamsudin, Siti Nurfaeiza Abd Razak, Pui, Maggie San Sudo, Song, Beng-Kah, Bey, Hing Goh, Long, Chiau Ming

“…Furthermore, lines with QTL (either single or two QTLs) outperformed MR219 in all agronomic parameters including grain yield (GY) under RS. UKM-114, which carries the Sub1, demonstrated higher values for important agronomic traits such as the number of filled spikelets (FS), thousand-grain weight (TGW), and GY when exposed to drought stress. …”
