Homology modeling and structure prediction of thioredoxin (TRX)

Wheat is an important dietary cereal often associated with beneficial health effects. A study was carried out to investigate the in silico analysis of homology modeling and 3D structure prediction of Thioredoxin (TRX) protein in Triticum aestivum. Primary structure prediction and physicochemical characterization were performed by computing theoretical isoelectric point (pI), molecular weight, total number […]

Influence of seaweed extracts on the growth, some metabolic activities and yield of wheat grown under drought stress

The physiological effect of drought on the 30-days-old Triticumaestivum plants was assessed and the alleviating role of seaweed extracts (Sargassumlatifolium, Ulvalactucaandtheir mixture) on drought stress was evaluated. Drought treatment (40% and 20% field capacity) resulted in a significant decrease in some growth criteria, photosynthetic pigments and activity. Furthermore, it led to oxidative stress and increased […]

Stability analysis of bread wheat landraces and genotypes using GGE-BIPLOT

The objective of this study was to explore the effect of genotype (G) and genotype ×environment interaction (GEI) on grain yield of 20 bread wheat genotypes (Triticumaestivum L.) insix different environments.The experiment was conducted in randomized complete block design(RCBD) with three replications under two conditions(irrigated and rainfed). Yield data were analyzed using the GGE biplot […]

Study on the accumulation of copper from soil by shoots and roots of some selective plant species

Phytoextraction, the use of plants to extract toxic metals from contaminated soils, has emerged as a cost effective, environment friendly clean up alternative. The present study aimed to find a suitable plants species for use in cleaning up Cu from copper contaminated soil. Soil is artificially polluted by different concentration of Cu and the effects […]
