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 […]
Effects of different flood depths on the growth and yield of some lowland rice varieties
This study was conducted to examine the effect of different flood depths on the growth and yield of some lowland rice varieties. The experiment was a 3 × 3 × 5 factorial experiment laid out in Completely Randomized Design with three replications. The factors considered were the effect of different flood depth levels (40cm, 60cm […]
Impact of enclosure on some of vital ecosystem attributes in El-Bayadh region, North-West Algerien steppe
Protection of degraded rangelands is widely considered to be the most effective and practical way to conserve plant diversity and maintain ecosystem composition and structure, for this purpose we carried out this study in the region of El-Bayadh, located in North–West Algerien steppe, aiming at assessing the effect of the enclosure technique on plant cover […]
Propagation of Ternstroemia cameroonensis: an approach towards the conservation of a critically endangered medicinal plant species in the Lebialem highlands, Cameroon
This study was carried out to investigate the regeneration potential of Ternstroemia cameroonensis Cheek. a critically endangered medicinal plant in the Lebialem Highlands, Cameroon by seeds and stem cuttings. Air dried seeds were subjected to abrasion with sand paper, soaked in hot water and 98% concentrated sulphuric acid at various duration. Seeds pre-treated with 98% […]
Growth and survivability of different mangrove species as influenced by rooting hormone
The study was conducted under protective environment of Barangay Amunitan, Gonzaga Cagayan from October, 2018 until March, 2019. Generally, the study was established to determine the growth and survival of different mangrove species as influenced by rooting hormones. Specifically, the study aimed to determine the average germination rate of the seeds (%), average seedling emergence […]
