Experiments were conducted with two commonly grown mungbean varieties viz., M-28 and 6601, in open top chambers and ambient field conditions with the aim of ascertaining the effects of air pollution on yield. The 8-h daily mean ozone concentrations were 41-73 nl litre. A considerable reduction of 47.06% and 51.12% in seed yield for M-28 and 6601, respectively were found which are substantially ...

Over the past decade, scientific studies have increasingly concentrated on effects of global phosphorus (P) scarcity food security. A comprehensive strategy that considers demand reduction and recycling possibilities is needed to address P scarcity. Reduced tillage along with crop residue retention could decrease fixation in soil, improve labile content enhance organic-P (Po) buildup its minera...

Mungbean Yellow Mosaic Virus (MYMIV) is the viral pathogen that causes yellow mosaic disease to a number of legumes including Vigna mungo. VM84 is a recombinant inbred line resistant to MYMIV, developed in our laboratory through introgression of resistance trait from V. mungo line VM-1. Here we present the quality control passed transcriptome data of mock inoculated (control) and MYMIV-infected...

Glutamate dehydrogenase of several different plants was resolved by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis into separate molecular forms and the isoenzymic patterns detected by the tetrazolium technique were compared. The number of isoenzymes and their electrophoretic mobilities varied among the different plants studied. The isoenzymes were found to have the same coenzyme specificity and to localiz...

introduction integrated nutrient management involving crop residue/green manures and chemical fertilizer is potential alternative to provide a balanced supply of nutrients, enhance soil quality and thereby sustain higher productivity. the present experiment was undertaken to evaluate the effect of different crop residue management practices and npk levels on yield components and yield of wheat....

The mode of inheritance of seedling color and plant pubescence was studied in two crosses among three parents, which differed for these traits. The results have revealed that purple seedling color was dominant over green seedling color and pubescence was dominant over nonpubescence. These two traits segregated independently of each other may be used as morphological markers individually for dif...
