Lipoxygenase-1 (LOX-1) protein provides defense against pests and pathogens and its presence have been positively correlated with plant resistance against pathogens. Linoleate is a known substrate of lipoxygenase and it induces necrosis leading to the accumulation of isoflavonoid phytoalexins in plant leaves. Therefore, it is of interest to study the structural features of LOX-1 from Finger mil...

Finger millet is extensively cultivated in the tropical and sub-tropical regions of Africa known to save lives small income farmers from starvation at times extreme drought. Therefore, this field experiment was carried out study integrated effect vermicompost inorganic fertilizer blended NPSB with urea on yield components finger millet. Treatments consisted four levels (25, 50, 75, 100%) three ...

in order to evaluate millet (panicum miliaceum l.) and cowpea (vigna unguiculata l.) intercropping, an experiment was conducted during 2008-2009 at agriculture research center of zabol university, iran. the experiment was as randomized complete block design with three replications. treatment s consisted of sole crop of millet, sole crop of cowpea, 25% millet + 100% cowpea, 50% millet + 50% cowp...

Abstract The high popularity of wheat-based food such as noodles in Indonesia has caused a large increase wheat imports. Sorghum and rice are two local ingredients found Indonesia; however, sorghum is not largely used the main grain source, especially noodle making. This research aimed to determine effect ratio between flour flour, konjac glucomannan concentration on analogue characteristics. K...

Land con®guration in combination with nutrient management has the potential to improve the productivity of Al®sols and Vertisols in the semi-arid tropics. A four year (1989±1990 and 1992±1993) ®eld experiment was conducted at Coimbatore, India on Al®sols (Chromic Cambisol) to compare the effect of land con®guration and nutrient management practices on yield of rainfed sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (...

Expansion and contraction of microRNA (miRNA) families can be studied in sequenced plant genomes through sequence alignments. Here, we focused on miR169 in sorghum because of its implications in drought tolerance and stem-sugar content. We were able to discover many miR169 copies that have escaped standard genome annotation methods. A new miR169 cluster was found on sorghum chromosome 1. This c...

Sorghum–sudangrass (Sorghum bicolor × S. sudanense (Piper) Stapf.) and pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.) provide adequate nutritive value for growing beef cattle; however, unlike millet, sorghum–sudangrass produces hydrocyanic acid (which is toxic to livestock) when frosted. Forage yield, value, weight gain of cattle grazing were compared during the frost-prone autumns 2013 2014, at...

Starch-branching enzymes (SBEs) are one of the four major enzyme classes involved in starch biosynthesis in plants and play an important role in determining the structure and physical properties of starch granules. Multiple SBEs are involved in starch biosynthesis in plants. Finger millet is calcium rich important serial crop belongs to grass family and the transcriptome data of developing spik...
