Inheritance of resistance to Fusarium wilt (FW) disease caused by Fusarium udum was investigated in pigeonpea using four different long duration FW resistant genotypes viz., BDN-2004-1, BDN-2001-9, BWR-133 and IPA-234. Based on the F2 segregation pattern, FW resistance has been reported to be governed by one dominant gene in BDN-2004-1 and BDN-2001-9, two duplicate dominant genes in BWR-133 and...

Pacific salmon migrate from ocean through the natal river for spawning. Information on expression of genes encoding osmoregulatory hormones and migratory behavior is important for understanding of molecular events that underlie osmoregulation of homing salmon. In the present article, regulation of gene expression for osmoregulatory hormones in pre-spawning salmon was briefly reviewed with speci...

White button mushroom or (Agaricus bisporus) is known as a healthy foodstuff with several nutrients, polyphenols, proteins, and dietary fibers. Mushrooms have short shelf-life, approximately three to four days at commercial storage about eight under chilling conditions. In the current study, titanium dioxide nanoparticles chitosan films were used novel active coating materials addition of thymo...

for half a century, the limitations of obtaining cross-combinations in lilies because of the incompatibility and incongruity between different varieties have been known. somatic hybridization is one of the most powerful tools for achieving distant interspecific hybrids. for this purpose, protoplast preparation is a first and important step in efficient system for the regeneration of plants from...

With a view to test how the branchial and intestinal tissues of fish, the two sites of metal acquisition, utilize the water-borne ferric [Fe(III)] iron and whether the accumulation of this form of iron influences cellular Na/K gradient in these tissues, the gills and intestines of climbing perch adapted to freshwater (FW) and acclimated to dilute seawater (20 ppt; SW) were analyzed for ouabain-...

Partial nutritional analysis including total polyphenols, vitamin C, soluble solids (°Brix), sugars and mineral constituents was evaluated for the banana fruits derived from six triploid Musa accessions grown in coastal oasis of south Tunisia. Results showed that pH values ranged 5.44 to 6.01. The °Brix varied between 4.00 g/100 g (Fresh weight) FW ‘Arbi IRA’, 1.33 ‘Lobnani’. Carbohydrates were...

Biofortification is the process of developing a crop with bioavailable micronutrients in its edible parts. This has been done using nanofertilizers, since they can be used to feed plants gradual and controlled manner. Therefore, aim this work was evaluate effect foliar application ZnO NPs different concentrations on commercial phytochemical quality basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) crop, as it one mo...

The salinity stress is one of the most relevant abiotic stresses that affects agricultural production. present study was performed to improvement salt tolerance tomato plants which known for their susceptibility stress. aimed assess what extent strain Azospirillum brasilense (N040) and Saccharomyces cerevisiae improve treated with different concentration. inoculant A. previously adapted survive...

The aim of this work was to use fish processing waste (FW) as main substrate for anaerobic digestion. To enhance the biogas production FW, co-digestion done with two other substrates: cow dung (CD) and market (MW). Batch test carried out in an 1 L glass digester a temperature controlled chamber at 38°C. following mixtures were out: FW CD respectively different ratios 100:0% (A), 80:20% (B) 60:4...
