The study was initiated to generate genetic information on important yield contributing characters of sweet potato genotypes maintained in Chhattisgarh. Twenty eight potatoes (Ipomea batatas L.)  were evaluated estimate the variability for different characters. experiment conducted using a Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications. parameters studied. Analysis variance showe...

The biological effects of heavy-ion beam irradiation on cultured tissues of cyclamen were investigated by establishing an irradiation-mediated mutation breeding protocol for producing a new variety of cyclamen. Initially, a callus, a somatic embryo, and a plantlet were irradiated with C ion beam at doses of 10, 20, 40, 60, and 80 Gy. Distinct mutants were not obtained in plants regenerated from...

The porang plant is a tuber-producing developed because it can increase farmers' income. Sunlight intensity and the growing environment are essential factors that affect growth yield of plants. research aims to get best shade, planting media formulation, their interaction for development outcome This study applied randomized group design with factorial pattern. first factor 50%, 70%, 90% shade....

to study the effect of seed density and plant distance on yield and growth parameters of radish, an experiment was conducted in research of station rice at office rasht in 2008-2009. this study was set in secondary culture after rice by factorial experiment with randomized complete block design with 3 replications. treatments consisted of factorial arrangement of three seed density levels (5, 1...

The molecular marker (SSR) has been used to investigate the markers associated with the agronomic traits including days to 50% flowering, tube ring time, days to maturity, plant height, the number of main stems per plant, the number of tubers per plant, dry matter content, main stem diameter, a single tuber weight, average single tuber weight, and the total yield in potato genotypes. Ten primer...

BACKGROUND Development of an environmentally benign process for the synthesis of silver nanomaterials is an important aspect of current nanotechnology research. Among the 600 species of the genus Dioscorea, Dioscorea bulbifera has profound therapeutic applications due to its unique phytochemistry. In this paper, we report on the rapid synthesis of silver nanoparticles by reduction of aqueous Ag...

Aims: Lead is a heavy metal pollutant that persists in the environment, has no biological function, and potentially toxic to microorganisms. The study examined effect of lead on morphology genetic profile Pleurotus tuber-regium, an edible mushroom.
 Study Design: Experimental design.
 Place Duration Study: Bells University Technology between December 2017 August 2018.
 Methodolog...

Water yam (Dioscorea alata) is a staple crop for many of the poorest in the tropics. Yam tuber response to fertiliser application has been reported to be erratic. We hypothesised that this variable response could be due to the development of a suboptimal root system that would not allow the plant to capture the nutrients added with the fertiliser. To verify this hypothesis we studied during two...

The yield, nutrient uptake and cost efficacy of Chlorophytum. borivillianum were studied using dual inoculation with AM fungi (Glomus fasciculatum) and Azotobacter chroococcum. The experiment was conducted for two consecutive years with two levels of chemical fertilizers as F1(N-P-K : 24-24-32 kg ha) and F2 (N-P-K : 30-30-40 kg ha). Inoculation of bioinoculants encouraged results; the fresh tub...
