Many growers respond to problems of compaction by top-dressing nitrogen and increasing the amount of irrigation applied.
The possibility therefore exists that the uvomorulinmediated interaction between cells might involve protein phosphorylations and that these are central to the events of compaction.
Possible mechanisms underlying the rearrangements which take place both at fertilisation and during compaction and experimental decompaction are discussed.
Only some small folding at the contact occurs, probably due to differential compaction.
Compaction of the sediment would also result in a reduction of the photic zone.
Thus, good agricultural practice of subsoiling to alleviate compaction before planting is probably the key to mitigating the adverse effects on yield.
To reduce compaction of moist soil and obviate the need for harrowing to level the fields, controlled traffic is being introduced in rice-wheat systems.
Here we examine the expression profile of uvomorulin at the cellular level, in oocytes and embryos up to and during compaction.
