Plant growth regulators and Rhizobium are actively involved in the regulation of flowering, pod formation, nodulation, ultimately yield legumes. However, very limited information is available on combined effect gibberellic acid (GA3) attributes legume crops. This experiment was designed to fill this gap by studying performance chickpea under exogenous application GA3 (10−4 10−5 M) alone combination with Rhizobium. Exogenous (10−5 rhizobium inoculation gave highest values for number nodules...
Three genotypes of hot pepper were subjected to three different levels salinity in a pot experiment study the effect salt stress on vegetative and reproductive growth along with efficacy exogeneous application salicylic acid (SA) ascorbic (AsA) enabling plant withstand salinity. Two concentrations (1 2 mM) SA AsA, both individually combination applied through foliar spray. Salinity significantly reduced height, root length, biomass decreasing by up 73.28%, 74.09%, 82.57%, respectively as...
Nutraceuticals can serve as an alternative supplement to overcome nutritional deficiency for a healthy lifestyle. They also play key role in disease management. To develop carrot nutraceutical products, 64 genotypes from four different continents were evaluated range of morpho-nutrition variables. Genetic variability, heritability, strength and direction association among variables, direct indirect relationships physiochemical traits with β-carotene content evaluated. Core diameter, foliage...
Leafy vegetable crops are considered as a natural source of mineral nutrients that could decrease the risk factor many growth issues in children and adults. Spinach is globally most desirable leafy crop, due to its taste nutrient richness along with greater nitrate contents better nitrogen use efficiency. To evaluate efficiency this thirty genetically diverse spinach accessions were analyzed through nutritional functional marker strategies. The accession 163 , 310 from Pakistan was found be...
Line × tester analysis is one of breeding strategy to evaluate combining ability effects genotypes and also provide information regarding genetic mechanisms controlling certain traits.Three elite wheat lines were used as female parents viz.9436, 9444 9452 three varieties viz.SH-2002, Sehar 2006 Lasani 2008 male produce 9 F1 crosses.Parent line SH-2002 found good general combiner for yield its components which are important in grain improvement.9436 SH-2002, 9444× ×Sehar more promising...
Five cotton cultivars (NIAB-884, Bt-101, CRIS-310, MS-39 and UCD-581) were crossed in a complete diallel design to investigate the inheritance pattern of some metric plant traits.Genetic differences found significant (b>0.01) for all traits under study.Adequacy test showed that characters fully adequate genetic analysis.Additive component genotypic variance (D) was predominant Plant height, number sympodial branches, boll weight, seed yield, lint percentage, staple length, fibre strength...
Chillies (Capsicum annuum) are a spice crop with great medicinal value of its biochemical ingredients. Its high antioxidant along good nutritional properties. Foliar application Salicylic Acid may stimulate various plant physiological parameter i.e., stomatal activity, ions uptake, seed germination, leave membrane response to electrolytes and growth rate. (SA) is known as molecule that participated in processes chillies, tolerance resistance abiotic biotic stresses. Ascorbic acid possesses...
Little information is available regarding genetic control and inheritance of economically important traits in bitter gourd (Momordica charantia L.). Previous studies this crop used a narrow range germplasm different environmental conditions. Thirteen entries were accessed concerning diversity for morphophysiological traits. Wide occurred all Differences between genotypic coefficient variation phenotypic indicated the majority was due to genetics. Node position first male flower, fruit...
Spinach is a highly nutritive and medicinally important leafy vegetable cultivated in many countries worldwide. Diversity the gene pool of species may affect adaptability to new environment as well develop varieties more tolerant stress pathogens. To assess genetic variability species, morphological traits are considered simplest markers. Therefore, field experiment was conducted explore diversity spinach germplasm from 30 different countries, using agro-morphological traits. Data based on...
There is insufficient information available concerning the genetics and association of yield components in Tinda gourd (Citrullus vulgaris var. fistulosus Stocks). Sixteen genotypes were used to estimate genetic variability, strength direction association, direct/indirect effects morphological traits on fresh fruit yield. Considerable variability occurred among for all traits. The majority variation was nature as indicated by similar values genotypic phenotypic coefficients variation. High...
Information regarding genetic base, nature and strength of association effect different yield component quality traits on final is prerequisite a crop improvement program.Twenty one genotypes tomato were sown in triplicated complete randomized design to access this information.All showed considerable variation with variable environmental influence.Additive gene action was involved expression days 50% flowering, vine length, number fruits per plant fruit weight.Dominance played major role for...
Seed is a basic component of every crop species and quality seed essential for farmers to achieve greater production higher yields. yield can be improved by using the growth hormones. Indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) IBAplays vital role in reproductive development plant. An investigation being conducted determine effect rooting hormone IBA on that leads developement. Roots treated with three levels (500 ppm, 1000 ppm 1500ppm) along control 3 replication. Results showed roots @ 1500 had taken...
Average low yield in pea is associated with yielder varieties for early segment comparison normal and late lines. Early are short stature have less no of pods. Supreme an high yielding variety developed that can be helpful the increase average per acre Pakistan. ‘Supreme’ indigenous (Pisum sativum L.) through hybridization. It pod bearing produces pods 55-60 days after sowing. competitive all locally cultivated commercial being established field. The attractive size, sword shape, maximum...
