A line × tester set of 8 parents involving five females (Arka Kamini, Arka Poornima, Aadya, Archana, Violet Cushion) and three pollen Shashank, Local Violet, Pink) were analyzed for heterosis with respect to growth, flower quality yield traits in China aster [Callistephus chinensis (L.) Nees]. The experiments conducted at Division Floriculture Medicinal Crops, ICAR-Indian Institute Horticultura...

Abstract Crystal Violet dye is a toxic organic pigment that has little solubility in water and causes serious health problems environmental pollution. In the current study, compound composed of multi-walled carbon nanotubes with chitosan was used. Experiments were conducted to adsorb crystal violet for both effect surface weight adsorbent contact time. Dye CS-OMWCNTs. And study pH ionic intensi...

The chemical test for deoxyribosenucleic acid discovered by Feulgen (1914) and applied by Feulgen & Rossenbeck (1924) under the name of nucleal stain to histological sections has served many useful purposes in the hands both of its originator and of subsequent workers. It now finds much favour as a staining process for cytological preparations containing dividing cells, partly, no doubt, becaus...

Of the four classes of vertebrate cone visual pigments, the shortwave-sensitive SWS1 class shows the shortest lambda(max) values with peaks in different species in either the violet (390-435 nm) or ultraviolet (around 365 nm) regions of the spectrum. Phylogenetic evidence indicates that the ancestral pigment was probably UV-sensitive (UVS) and that the shifts between violet and UV have occurred...

Ultraviolet (UV) reception is useful for such basic behaviors as mate choice, foraging, predator avoidance, communication, and navigation, whereas violet reception improves visual resolution and subtle contrast detection. UV and violet reception are mediated by the short wavelength-sensitive (SWS1) pigments that absorb light maximally (λmax) at ~360 nm and ~395 to 440 nm, respectively. Because ...

Escherichia coli LSUFS was injured either by freezing at -10 degrees C or by heating at 57 degrees C for 12 min. Surviving cells were recovered on nonselective tryptone-glucose extract agar and selective violet red bile agar supplemented with compounds that degrade hydrogen peroxide or block its formation. Various concentrations of the following compounds were tested: sodium pyruvate, 3,3'-thio...

The impact of ultra violet radiations on alpha amylase producing ability of Bacillus subtilis (2620) was studied. Maximum enzymatic activity (crude) upto 17 folds were obtained from mutant strain exposed to 60 minutes ultra violet irradiation in comparison to parent strain. Purified enzyme showed molecular weight of 68 KDa and 54 KDa by SDS-PAGE in both parent and mutant strains. The SDS-PAGE o...

Fertilizer plant waste carbon slurry has been investigated after some processing as an adsorbent for the removal of dyes and phenols using columns. The results show that the carbonaceous adsorbent prepared from carbon slurry being porous and having appreciable surface area (380 m2/g) can remove dyes both cationic (meldola blue, methylene blue, chrysoidine G, crystal violet) as well a...

In this study, the adsorption of certain water-soluble cationic dyes, (basic blue 9, basic blue 12, basic blue 17, brilliant cresyl blue, janus green B, basic green 4, basic violet 1, basic violet 3, and thionin) onto TriSyl silicas by batch adsorption at 25◦C was investigated. In the adsorption experiments, Langmuir type adsorption in the Giles classification system was found. Binding paramete...
