Berberis asiatica Roxb. Ex. Dc., non Griff. Belongs to the family berberidaceae commonly occurring in the dry outer Himalaya, Assam etc. Roots along with stem bark s a reputed drug in Ayurvedic medicine contain several alkaloids. 50% Ethaolnic extract of roots reported to posses anti-cancer activity. The present study examines the antitumour effect of ethanolic root extract (BRE) against Dalton...

Saltcedar (Tamarix pentandra Pall.) stem cuttings responded vegetatively to various photoperiods of 11-, 14-, 17-, and 8 + 1-hour duration. Total stem length, average stem length, cuticle thickness, and xylem vessel member outside diameter were significantly maximal under a 14-hour photoperiod and less under photoperiods above and below this level. Numbers of stems and roots produced were signi...

Semecarpus anacardium L. is a tree species which produces secondary metabolites of medicinal importance. Roots of the plant have been traditionally used in folk medicines. Different strains of Agrobacterium rhizogenes (A4, ATCC15834 and LBA 9402) were used for induction of hairy roots in in vitro grown tissues of the plant. Hairy root initiation was observed after 25-30 days of infection. Optim...

A hydroponic experiment was carried out to study the ameliorative effects of exogenous glycinebetaine (GB) upon cadmium (Cd) toxicity in cucumber seedlings. The results indicated that 50 μmol/L Cd stress decreased soil plant analysis development (SPAD) value, height, root length, seedling biomass, activities ascorbate peroxidase (APX) and ATPase leaves, stems roots; however, increased (POD) sup...

Arabidopsis cDNA microarray analysis was performed for 5,722 genes using leaf, stem, root and flower mRNA as targets. We identified 55, 22, 21, and 131 genes expressed specifically in leaves, stems, flowers and roots, respectively. Statistical cluster analysis revealed that the roots were the most distant and the leaves and flowers the most related organs with regards to gene expression. K-mean...

Research on the Morphological characteristics of fruit plants in Suka Damai Village, Tungkal Jaya District, Musi Banyuasin Regency, has been carried out from April 2021 to June 2021, aims examine types horticultural through morphological roots, stems, leaves, flowers and fruit. This study uses a descriptive survey method by exploring village area as many 3 RT. Observations were made looking dir...

In this research, accumulation and distribution of nickel in root, leaves and stem and grains of wheat were studied to assess the health of wheat grain for human consumption. A greenhouse experiment was conducted based on randomized complete block design with three replications. Wheat was grown under two nickel concentrations in soil (0.0 and 100 mg kg-1). At maturity, wheat was divi...

Auxin not only controls the development processes, but also regulates stress responses of plants. In this investigation, we explored potential roles exogenously applied indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) in conferring salt tolerance faba bean (Vicia L.). Our results showed that foliar application IAA (200 ppm) to salt-exposed (60 mM and 150 NaCl) plants promoted growth, which was evidenced by enhanced ...

The root meristem consists of populations of distal and proximal stem cells and an organizing center known as the quiescent center. During embryogenesis, initiation of the root meristem occurs when an asymmetric cell division of the hypophysis forms the distal stem cells and quiescent center. We have identified NO TRANSMITTING TRACT (NTT) and two closely related paralogs as being required for t...

The aim of this research are to know significance interaction between Trichoderma and cow manure for oil palm pre-nursery seedlings growth, the best dosage growth. This was conducted at education site (KP2) Institut Pertanian Stiper Yogyakarta, Maguwoharjo, Depok, Sleman, Yogyakarta Special Region. Research location altitude is 118 m asl. carried out in April – June 2021. used Completed Random ...
