Therefore, we decide to use the Entropy TOPSIS method based on factor analysis to screen more and comprehensive indicators to score the security of the food system. The food system changes priorities and optimizes equity as well as sustainability. This could lead to a more balanced and sustainable development of food security in the future, but it also comes at a cost. However, we strongly believe that such a system will eventually lead to a more balanced and sustained slow increase in global food security.","PeriodicalId":222254,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advanced Agricultural Technologies","volume":"84 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124425351","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In vitro propagation techniques for P. sirindhorniae are currently required to help the utilization and conservation of this species. In this study, sterilization steps of the explants were evaluated. The most effective procedure for sterilization with high survival rates is by using the shoot tips treated with 10% NaOCl for 10 min and then 10% NaOCl for 15 min and the nodal explants treated with 10% NaOCl for 10 min and then 5% NaOCl for 15 min. For propagation, shoot multiplication was studied by using shoot tips, nodal explants and cotyledonary nodes incubated on MS media supplemented with BAP at 1, 2, 3 and 4 mg/L for four weeks.

Therefore, it is necessary to find alternative ways to increase somatic embryo proliferation to obtain more shoots without compromising the quality of in vitro plantlets. In this study, somatic embryos proliferation and germination were evaluated through Temporary Immersion System (TIS) in comparison with gelled culture. Globular primary somatic embryos were selected and cultured in TIS and gelled culture. After six months of culture, somatic embryos in TIS were multiplied and germinated on solid medium. Parameters observed were fresh weight and number of somatic embryos and shoots production amount. The results shown that TIS produced more clumps (186 clumps) and fresh weight (12.79g) of somatic embryos compared to gelled culture (81 clumps; 3.60 g). TIS also produced more shoots and therefore resulting in more plantlets. The quality of plantlets derived from TIS was not different from gelled culture.","PeriodicalId":222254,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advanced Agricultural Technologies","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123950245","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Illumination with a Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp (CCFLS) and Light EmittingDiodes (LEDs) has lately become a more available technology and a more economic and energetically efficient way for light treatment on mushrooms. In this study, effects of illumination light source and wavelengths on the fruit body’s production and content of nutritional qualities and antioxidant properties were investigated. The Biological Efficiency (BE) of the CCFLs lights was the highest at 94.71%. Based on the fresh weight (fw), CCFLs, LEDS 2W1B (180) and LEDS 2W1B (240) light cultivation contained higher amount of crude ash, crude protein, crude fat and crude fiber, whereas the LEDS 3W (180) contained higher amount of carbohydrate. For all samples, the content of polysaccharide ranged from 0.30 to 0.36 g/100 g fw. The total hydrolysis amino acid content in four light cultivation of H. marmoreus ranged from 1477.22 to 1709.33 mg/100 g fw and were in the descending order of LEDS 2W1B (180) > LEDS 2W1B (240) ~ CCFL > LEDS 3W (180).
