چکیده

In the present study, bioaccumulation of REEs in Zea mays L. (corn plant) has been analyzed. The role of Rare Earth Element (REEs) in physiology and biochemistry of corn plant have been studied. Physiological characters like peroxidase (POD) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activities, biochemical analysis of chlorophyll, carotenoids and phenol contents have also been carried out. The plant growth and biomass observed shows the influence of REEs and the accumulation studies reveal the presence of REEs only in roots. It was also found that REEs could increase POD and SOD activities, biochemical content and had an impact on crop production and stress resistance in plants.

Genetic analysis of Biochemical and Physiological Traits using Haymen’s Graphical Approach in Lines and F2 Progenies of Maize (Zea mays L.)

The diallel mating design is an important tool used by plant breeding programs to obtain information on trait inheritance. Knowledge of gene action, heritability and genetic advance from selection is a prerequisite for starting a breeding program for developing varieties of maize. Five maize S7 lines and their F2 progenies were studied in a 5 × 5 half-diallel crossing design to evaluate the gen...
