An attempt has been made to assess the response of Phaseolus mungo L. under influence of cadmium chloride (Cd Cl2) with special reference to growth, morphology, yield and biochemical aspects. Surface sterilized seeds of Phaseolus mungo L. cv. T-9 were exposed to various concentrations of Cd Cl2 solution (10(-2) M, 10(-4) M, 10(-5) M, 10(-8) M and control) for 12 hr at room temperature and these...

The Iberian viticultural regions are convened according to the Denomination of Origin (DO) and present different climates, soils, topography and management practices. All these elements influence the vegetative growth of different varieties throughout the peninsula, and are tied to grape quality and wine type. In the current study, an integrated analysis of climate, soil, topography and vegetat...

Upland rice plays a major role in the sustainable food security of the country. Early vigour trait is important in the drill-sown rice for weed suppression as well as initial establishment. The IR64/Azucena was used as a reference population to identify Quantitative Trait Loci (QTLs) for early vigour related traits. The Simple Sequence Repeat (SSR) markers flanking QTLs in IR64/Azucena and othe...

Hundred and fifty seed samples of white jute (Corchorus capsularis L.) belonging to four seed classes were collected from different sources of Bangladesh. The seed classes were breeder, foundation, certified and farmers’ seeds. Breeder seeds had the best performance in all the seed quality attributes as compared to foundation, certified and farmers’ seeds. The lowest performance was observed in...
