Effect of Sodium Nitroprusside with Plant Growth Regulators on in vitro Propagation and Genetic Stability of ‘Barhee’ Date Palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) by Al-Mayahi Ahmed Madi Waheed

“…Date palm micropropagation still faces many limitations in practical applications due to tissue browning, reduced callus growth and development, low organogenesis and multiplication efficiency, and low rooting rate. This study investigated the effects of sodium nitroprusside (SNP), a source of nitric oxide and plant growth regulators, on the growth attributes and some biochemical constituents of in vitro cultured ‘Barhee’ date palm. …”

Analysis of fibrous material deformation in the roll contact zone by Khurramov Shavkat, Abrorov Akbar, Abdullaev Akhror, Norov Nusiratjon, Baymatov Shakhriddin

“…The analytical description of the shape of contact curves and the thickness of processed material in the technological zone of a two-roll module in a dynamic mode is given, considering the deformation pattern of the processed material. It is determined that one of the factors that most influence the shape of the contact curve is the ratio of the compression rate of the coating deformation to the corresponding material feed rate. …”
