This study was carried out to investigate the effect of hydropriming on seed germination and seedling growth of five different flower seed species (Antirrhinum, Dahlia, Impatiens, Salvia and Zinnia). Hydropriming (20oC, 24 h), surface dried or dried back afterwards, was found to increase germination percentage, seedling emergence and fresh and dry weight. In all species, the maximum advantage i...

Starting from the classical r-matrix of the non-standard (or Jordanian) quantum deformation of the sl(2,R) algebra, new triangular quantum deformations for the real Lie algebras so(2, 2), so(3, 1) and iso(2, 1) are simultaneously constructed by using a graded contraction scheme; these are realized as deformations of conformal algebras of (1 + 1)-dimensional spacetimes. Timetype and space-type q...

We present a 1-parameter family of finite action solutions to the S0(2, 1) Hitchin’s equations and explore some of its basic properties. For a fixed value of the parameter, the solution is smooth. We conclude by showing a multi-particle generalization of our basic solutions.

The experiment on “Performance of dahlia (Dahlia variabilis L.) genotypes for floral and yield attributes” was carried out at the Department Floriculture Landscape Architecture, College Horticulture, Sirsi, University Horticultural Sciences, Bagalkot, Karnataka with a view to find best characters. Among 35 HUBD-26 recorded minimum days flowering (31.40 days), maximum flower per plant (559.03 g)...
