We analyzed productivity data obtained from experiments on grain sorghum conducted in 7 locations of its cultivation in Brazil. A total of 25 hybrids were analyzed, of which 22 were pre-commercial and 3 were cultivars. The Wricke and Purchase et al. methods were highly consistent in identifying individuals with low contributions to genotype x environment interactions. The Lin and Binns method p...

The effectiveness of aqueous extract of seven locally available medicinal plants i.e. Trachyspermum ammi (seeds), Zingiber officinale (rhizome), Tinospora cordifolia (leaves), Cymbopogon citratus (leaves), Moringa oleifera (bark) were evaluated against the plant pathogenic fungus i.e. Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lini (causing wilt in linseed). The plant extracts were screened for their antagonist...

High quality seed of wheat is the key to successful agriculture. Improvement and evaluation of agronomic traits have been the primary objective of breeders for many years under variable environments. The objective of the present research was to determine influence of genotype, environment and their interaction on yield and randman of seed as a seed quality represent and to evaluate stability th...

understanding the implication of genotype-by-environment interaction (gei) and improving stability of crop yield in a target production environment is important in plant breeding. in this research, we used the ammi (additive main effects and multiplicative interaction) model to identify the stable genotype(s) by predictive accuracy of yield data. results of this study indicated that the fgh tes...

This study shows the effect of soil structure, soil texture and different types of nutrients on the growth of Ammi visnaga (L.) Lam, as well as the yield of the fruit crop and its content of the main active principals (ɣpyrones). The study was carried out in several localities in Two Arabian countries in North Africa; Egypt and Sudan. Egypt: at three localities:-1st at Mepaco Farm in Enshas El-...

Individuals with lymphatic filariasis (LF) shows elevated levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines, altered expressions of inflammatory genes and are prone to secondary bacterial infection. Also markers of liver dysfunction were reported to be high with increased filarial infection. Acetaminophen (Paracetamol), an anti-pyretic drug was prescribed to LF individuals along with Diethylcarbamazine and ...

The objectives of this study were to assess the genotype (G) by environment (E) interaction of grain yield of durum wheat(Triticum durum Desf.) based on parametric models, additive main effects and multiplicative interaction (AMMI) and joint linear regression models; and compare the relative efficiency of the two models in explaining the GE effects. Twenty-three genotypes were evaluated across ...

OBJECTIVE: To compare the effects of extracts from medicinal plants Ammi Visnaga & Olea eurpea on volume and acidity of stimulated gastric secretion in rabbits. METHODS: The present study was carried out in department of Pharmacology & therapeutics, Saidu Medical College Swat Pakistan between July 2008 to June 2009. Thirty rabbits weighing 1-1.5kg were included. They were divided in to groups A...
