Trichosanthes dioica Roxb. (Cucurbitaceae), called Potol in Bengali, Palval in Hindi and pointed gourd in English is a dioecious climber grown in Indian subcontinent and all parts of it have been traditionally used for various medicinal purposes. The present study aimed to evaluate the in vitro antimitotic and genotoxic effect of cucurbitacin enriched extract of T. dioica root using Allium cepa...

the research has been done for assessment of effects of different concentrations of indole-3-butyric acid (iba) on rhizogenesis of scions of c. phlomidis in 2010.  the research has been done on randomized complete-blocks for five replications and three treatments with zero, 2000ppm and 3000pmm concentration. different characters such as number of root of each scion, length of root, length of ne...

the investigation was conducted on wet and dry seasons of ethiopia during the year 2012/2013 at wondo genet agricultural research center nursery site. four levels of cutting size and three levels of cutting positions were arranged in randomized complete block design with three replications. data on seedling height, branch number/seedling, root number/seedling, root weigh/seedling, root length/s...

In a pot culture experiment, the root length density, potassium concentration in crop, and total K uptake by wheat (Triticum aestivum var. HD 2285) at different growth stages (CRIS-Crown Root Initiation Stage, MTS-Maximum Tillering Stage, FLS-Flag Leaf Stage and DFS-Dough Formation Stage) were determined. Wheat crop was grown in 72 pots containing 4.5 kg of three types of soils, namely Alfisol,...

Peppermint (Mentha piperita L.) is one of the most important plants producing essential oil. An experiment was carried out using a randomized complete block design with 3 replications to study the effect of salinity stress on growth parameters, essential oil percent of peppermint. 4 levels of salinity solution containing 0, 50, 100 and 200 mmol NaCl was applied in irrigation plantings ...

Among citrus rootstocks, higher specific root length (SRL, root length}d. wt) has been linked to several specific morphological and physiological traits, including smaller average root diameter, higher root hydraulic conductivity and higher rates of root proliferation. In this study, thickness of the outer tangential exodermal (hypodermal) wall and its suberin layer, number of passage cells, pr...
