A functional antibody highly specific for polymerase C1 of Pseudomonas oleovorans GPo1 was raised and used to determine polymerase C1 levels in in vivo experiments. The polymerase C1 antibodies did not show a cross-reaction with polymerase C2 of P. oleovorans. In wild-type P. oleovorans GPo1 and Pseudomonas putida KT2442, amounts of 0.075 and 0.06% polymerase relative to total protein, respecti...

Rice is known to be a nutrient exhaustive crop and the application of silicon (Si) has been reported for better utilization plant nutrients from soil. Hence, response phosphorus (P) could enhanced by co-fertilization Si P. The present study evaluates dry matter accumulation, grain yield, uptake, nutrient-use efficiency P in aerobic rice. Therefore, field experiment was conducted at ICAR-Indian ...

In order to study the effects of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) on the yield, the appearance eligibility ratio and the contents of total glucosinolates and glucoraphanin of cauliflower, the 311-A optimization regression design was used to conduct field experiments of N, P, K fertilizer treatments using winter cauliflower variety ‘‘HB16’’. The models of the balanced application f...

Young growing rats weighing approximately 83 g were fed on diets containing kidney bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) lectin (phytohaemagglutinin, PHA) in the range of 0-0.45 g/kg body weight for 10 d to ascertain whether there was a minimum dose below which the lectin had no significant effect on body and skeletal muscle weights in comparison with pair-fed lectin-free controls. Averaged over all experi...

BACKGROUND In Europe, almost 87.6 million tonnes of food waste are produced. Despite the high biological value of food waste, traditional management solutions do not consider it as a precious resource. Many studies have reported the use of food waste for the production of high added value molecules. Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) represent a class of interesting bio-polyesters accumulated by diff...

The histamine release induced by compound 48/80, bradykinin or polyethylenimine with a molecular weight of 600 (PEI6) was inhibited by wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) and phytohemagglutinin E-subunits (PHA-E4), and the inhibition was specifically reversed by N-acetyl glucosamine and N-acetyl galactosamine, respectively. Concanavalin A (Con A) and phytohemagglutinin L-subunits (PHA-L4) did not inhib...

Nitrogen (N) and Phosphorus (P) deficiency is a major yield limiting factor across the globe their proper management plays vital role in optimizing crop yield. This field experiment was conducted to assess impact of soil plant nitrogen N P ratio on growth wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) alkaline calcareous soil. The study consisted various levels (0, 40, 80, 160 kg ha−1 as urea) phosphorus 30, 60,...

The present study was based on the hypothesis that muriate of potash is a cheaper and rich source of potassium, but adversely affects the crops yield due to high Cl content. For this reason both column and field experiments were conducted to study the effect of potassium rates and sources on the availability of Cl, SO4 and K to maize crop growing on Haripur and Ghazi soils during 2004. In colum...

Flaxseed, which is rich in lignan, α-linolenic acid, dietary fiber, and several minerals, an important food nutrition source. In this study, trials were conducted at Yongdeng over two consecutive years (2018 2019), with three cultivars (Longyaza 1, Longya 14, Zhangya 2) five application rates of phosphorus (P) (0, 40, 80, 120, 160 kg P2O5 ha−1). We examined the effects P on seed yield, yields c...

The Field experiments were conducted to evaluate the effect of cropping systems and nutrient management practices on yield, economics pearl millet in School Agricultural Science, Karunya Institute Technology Sciences, Coimbatore, India). laid out Factorial Randomized Block Design (FRBD) with two factors (Cropping system Nutrient management) three replications for consecutive seasons 2022-23. st...
