Use of culture filtrates of Trichoderma strains as a biological control agent against Colletotrichum capsici causing Anthracnose fruit rot disease of chili
Culture filtrates of five Trichoderma strains viz. Trichoderma virens IMI-392430, T. pseudokoningii IMI-392431, T. harzianum IMI-392432, T. harzianum IMI-392433 and T. harzianum IMI-392434 were used as seed treatments aloneand in combination with culture filtrates of Colletotrichum capsici, to assay their efficacy in suppressing Anthracnose fruit rot disease and promoting chili plant growth and yield, under […]
Genetic variability study for yield and associated quantitative characters in mutant genotypes of Dianthus caryophyllus L.
The present study was conducted to evaluate the nine Dianthus genotypes, including normal and mutagen treated, to assess the magnitude of variability and to pick up the heritable component of variation present in the quantitative traits. The analysis of variance revealed highly significant (P< 0.05 or 0.01) differences for all the characters studied, indicating the […]
Understanding growth patterns of mung beans (Vigna radiata) through polynomial interpolation: Implications for cultivation practices
This study aims to explore the germination and growth patterns of mung bean seeds (Vigna radiata) through a polynomial interpolation fitting approach in a controlled environment. Mung beans are also popular in Asian diets, are used in many dishes, and have lots of nutritional value. The study is meant to describe the germination and growth […]
Effects of gibberellic acid on potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) growth and development during off-season cultivation
Solanum tuberosum L. (potato) is a crop in temperate regions, exhibiting exceptional food productivity and adaptability. Plant hormones can be used to increase the yields. Gibberellic Acid 4+7(GA4+7) is a plant growth regulator which can increase germination rate of some seeds and induce leaves. In this study, Potato tubers were treated with different concentration of […]
Analyzing winter wheat’s drought stress tolerance via in-vitro and in-vivo screening
Occurrences of osmotic stress have profound impacts on global wheat production. Drought may be a global issue, in any wheat-producing region that can cause severe osmotic stress. In this study, a comparative study of drought tolerance screening techniques in vitro and in vivo was conducted using fifteen winter wheat cultivars. Under in-vitro screening, for simulating […]
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 […]
Nutrient limitations of the edible sprouts: A review
In recent times people are quite aware of health and nutrition. Both fibers and proteins play an effective role in human nutrition. Even though animal meat contains more protein than plant protein, it is devoid of fibers’. However, plant sources found to be contain both protein and fibers in high amounts. The seeds are good […]
Induced mutagenesis in Green gram (Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek)
Induced mutagenesis was carried out in an important protein rich pulse crop (Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek). The seeds of green gram variety Co-6 were treated with different concentrations of sodium azide. The mutagen treated seeds were sown in the field to observe M1 characteristics. The sodium azide treated seeds were subjected to amino acid analysis. […]
Phenolic compound and herbicidal activity of Rosa canina L. leaf and stem extracts
This study proposes the evaluation of the phenolic composition of leaves and stems extracts of Rosa canina (Dog rose) and their herbicidal abilities measured using assays of germination rate (G) and germination speed (GI) of lactuca sativa (Lettuce), phalaris truncata and raphanus raphanistrum seeds and assays of its seedling growth. Leaves and stems of dog […]
Effect of gamma rays on M1 attributes and SDS-PAGE analysis in okra [Abelmoschus esculentus (L). Moench]
The present study attempts to evaluate the mutagenic effect of gamma rays on okra cultivars of Arka anamika and Arka abhay. The seeds of two traditional cultivars of okra Arka anamika and Arka abhay were treated with different doses of gamma rays like 100, 200, 300, 400, 500 and 600Gy. The gamma irradiation influenced the […]
