Effects of salt stress on leaf protein patterns of rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) genotypes

Environmental stresses caused a protein disorders in plants and plants overcome to stress by altering the expression of genes which necessary for the synthesis of metabolites, structural proteins and enzymes of some metabolic pathways. To study the effect of NaCl salinity on rapeseed’s protein patterns, twelve spring genotypes were evaluated by hydroponic culture at seedling […]

Effect of molybdenum and nitrogen on Phaseolus vulgaris L., Cicer arietinum L. and Lens culinaris M. seedlings grown under salt stress

The leguminous constitute an important food diet component especially in developing countries, they represent 90% of the global consumption, and they are very rich in proteins and relatively adapted to the Mediterranean climate. Soil nutrient deficiencies and salinity are the main factors which reduce plant production in the semi-arid and arid areas around the world. […]

Assessment of oxidative stress tolerance in red bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) seedling under salinity

In order to evaluate salt tolerance in red bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) 10 genotypes were exposed to two levels of NaCl i.e., 0 and 400 mM in laboratory conditions. Plant fresh weight, total phenolics, total soluble proteins, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and malondialdehyde (MDA) in leaves salt-stressed and non-stressed plants were analyzed. Electrophoretic analyses were performed […]

Physiological impact of sodium azide on Helianthus annus seedlings

The present study was carried out to demonstrate the effect of sodium azide on Helianthus annuus var.“Giza 53” at the green house of Botany Department, Faculty of Science, Tanta University, Egypt. Seeds were soaked in different concentrations of sodium azide (0.5, 1.0 and 2.0 mM) for different time intervals (30, 60, 90, 120 and 150 […]

Allelopathic management of Avena fatua L. (Wild Oat) pernicious weed growing in Triticum aestivum (Wheat) L. crop fields

Study investigated the effect of aerial shoot of Fagonia arabica aqueous extracts (ASFAAE) on germination and some growth parameters as well as seedling protein profile of Avena fatua and Triticum aestivum in pure and mixed cultures. Phytochemical screening of F. arabica exerted the highest value of about (41.6 and 47.5mg/g) related to fagonine and saponin […]

Irradiation effect of gamma rays on growth and SDS-PAGE analysis in Panicum sumatrense Roth Ex.

An attempt was made to find out the effect of gamma radiation on Panicum sumatrense. The seeds of little millet cv. ATL-1 and CO-2 were exposed to different doses of gamma rays, like 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, and 600 Gy. The seeds treated with gamma rays were sown in plastic pots with red soil […]

Preliminary data on the distribution and damage of the community of granivorous pest birds of sorghum (Sorghum bicolour (L.) Moench) (Korhogo, Côte d’Ivoire)

Sorghum (Sorghum bicolour (L.) Moench), a cereal rich in protein, is cultivated by the people of northern Côte d’Ivoire as a staple food and for income. However, because of the important losses due to birds, the culture of this strategic speculation is neglected. In order to better understand the impact of these pests and improve […]

Effect of foliar applied glycine betaine on growth performance of broccoli (Brassica oleracea var. Italica)

Glycine betaine performs a crucial role, like osmoprotectant and cytoplasmic osmotic solute specifically in the members of family Gramineae and Chenopodiaceae. Brassica oleracea var. Italica subvariety PALMIRA 2 hybrid due to the presence of glucosinolate plays a vital role for humans. A pot experiment was performed at the Old Botanical Garden, University of Agriculture, Faisalabad. […]

Allelopathic effects of three weeds (Parthenium hysterophorus L., Scirpus articulatus L. and Eleocharis congesta L.) on germination, growth and antioxidant efficiency in rice

The reduction of yield due to the allelopathic effect of weeds is a major concern in rice field. The present study was conducted to evaluate the allelopathic potential of the aqueous extracts of three weeds (Parthenium hysterophorus L., Scirpus articulatus L. and Eleocharis congesta L.) on germination and seedling growth of rice. Three concentrations viz., […]

Effects of cigarette tobacco contaminated cultures on germination of maize (Zea mays L.) seeds

The maize (Zea mays L.) is 2nd most important cereal crop and it is routinely cultivated just before or after the harvest of tobacco crop. Tobacco is the toxic plant mainly used in cigarette, cigars, bidis and chewing in the form of paan and gutkha. The goal of this study is to investigate the toxic […]
