The Agriculture and Anatomy Sciences are two
new key biology branches covered by the Sciences Social Network
ScienceIndex.com. The users of the website monitor 352 scientific journals
publishing in these two branches and submit the most recent and significant
articles for inclusion in ScienceIndex.com. While the site currently contains a
total of 1,662,184 posts, it features 51,867 articles in these two sections.
ScienceIndex.com was established in 1998 to index the very latest news,
headlines, references and resources in all fields of biology, business, chemistry,
engineering, geography, health, mathematics and society.

ScienceIndex.com is a Agriculture and
Anatomy Sciences Social Network established in 1998 to index the very
latest news, headlines, references and resources from science journals, books
and websites worldwide. The site covers news in all fields of biology,
business, chemistry, engineering, geography, health, mathematics and society.
In the field of Biological Sciences, the site has now included the two new
categories Agriculture and Anatomy. While the Agriculture section covers the
cultivation and production of crops, raising of livestock, and postharvest
processing of natural products, the Anatomy section covers the shape and
structure of organisms and their parts.
ScienceIndex.com's Biology Category covers
life and living organisms, including their structure, function, growth, origin,
genetics, and distribution. Its ten sections include Agriculture, Anatomy,
Biotechnology, Ecology, Environment, Forestry, Genetics, Microbiology,
Physiology and Zoology. Users can receive alerts for newly published content in
this category by subscribing to ScienceIndex.com's Biology Category RSS
feed.
ScienceIndex.com's Agriculture Section covers
the cultivation and production of crops, raising of livestock, and postharvest
processing of natural products. It currently contains 50,445 articles partly
derived from 346 scientific journals. The latest articles in this category are
also available through an Agriculture Section RSS feed. One of the latest
additions in this section presents an haplotype analysis of molecular markers
linked to stem rust resistance genes in Ethiopian improved durum wheat
varieties and tetraploid wheat landraces. The recent emergence of wheat stem
rust race Ug99 (TTKSK) and related strains threatens world wheat production
because they overcome widely used resistance genes that had been effective for
many years. This study is the first analysis of the presence of stem rust
resistance (Sr) genes in Ethiopian durum wheat varieties and tetraploid wheat
landraces based on linked or associated molecular markers. Another recently
included article investigates the ameliorating effects of eggplant, datura,
orange nightshade, local Iranian tobacco, and field tomato as rootstocks on
alkali stress in tomato plants. This study reveals that soluble sugars content,
photosynthetic pigments content, Fv/Fm and PI values in plants grafted onto
datura rootstock are higher than those in non-grafted plants. Thus, the use of
datura rootstock can provide a useful tool for improving alkalinity tolerance
of tomato plants under NaHCO3 stress.
ScienceIndex.com's Anatomy Section covers
the shape and structure of organisms and their parts. It currently contains
1,422 articles partly derived from 6 scientific journals. The latest articles
in this section are also available through an Anatomy Section RSS feed.
One recently included article in this section investigates the enamel
microstructures of bovine mandibular incisors. Bovine teeth have been
considered as an excellent substitute for human teeth for dental research,
however, the enamel microstructures of bovine and their spatial relationships
have not been well described. Another post covers the cranial nerve (Nervus
terminalis, cranial nerve N) in humans. This nerve is very distinct in human
fetuses and infants but also has been repeatedly identified in adult human
brains. Based on the available evidence, the Nervus terminalis appears to be
functional in adult humans and should be taught in medical schools and incorporated
into anatomy/neuroanatomy textbooks.
The Sciences Social Network currently
contains over 1.66 million posts distributed among its' 75 categories. 78,113
users monitor 11,384 journals publishing within the scope of the site. Since
new science content is discovered in real-time, the delay between original
publication and appearance at ScienceIndex.com is no more than two days. The
site provides an advanced search feature which suggests up to ten closely
related articles for a search and every displayed post.
