The moringa tree Moringa oleifera is a fast-growing, drought-resistant cultivated across the lowland dry tropics worldwide for its nutritious leaves. Despite reputation, there has been no systematic survey of variation in leaf nutritional quality M. grown worldwide, or other species genus. To guide informed use moringa, we surveyed protein, macro-, and micro- nutrients 67 common garden samples 12 taxa, including 23 oleifera. oleifera, concanensis, stenopetala, an concanensis X hybrid,...
Abstract Glucosinolates (GS) are metabolized to isothiocyanates that may enhance human healthspan by protecting against a variety of chronic diseases. Moringa oleifera , the drumstick tree, produces unique GS but little is known about variation within M . and even less in 12 other species, some which very rare. We assess leaf, seed, stem, leaf gland exudate content 13 species. describe 2 previously unidentified as major components 6 reporting on presence simple alkyl 4 dominant longituba...
Moringa oleifera leaf extract (MLE) is rich in amino acids, ascorbate, zeatin, minerals, and many other compounds known for their growth-promoting potential. This study was planned to explore the potential of MLE as a seed priming agent increase germination rate plant vigor 3 range grasses, i.e. Cenchrus ciliaris, Panicum antidotale, Echinochloa crusgalli. The strategies used were hydropriming, CaCl_2, PEG-8000 (-1.1 M Pa), (concentrate; 1:10, 1:20, 1:30, 1:40 dilutions with distilled...
Seed priming with plant extracts and chemicals has been used as an important growth enhancement tool in crop plants; however, the mechanisms of their action are not fully explored. In this research, attempt was made to understand mechanism various seed treatments greenhouse-grown wheat. The were hydropriming, on-farm priming, moringa (Moringa oleifera Lam.) leaf extract (MLE) CaCl_2 priming. Results showed that all effective improving germination seedling attributes wheat over control....
Moringa oleifera is a miracle tree that can be used in multiple ways, including as foodstuff, livestock fodder, plant growth enhancer, or water purifier. While the stem cutting method easy and successful for propagation, recent introduction of moringa field crop biomass production requires propagation through seeds. The germination stored seeds problem great concern may overcome by employing seed priming techniques. A pot study was conducted to explore potential moringa. Seeds were subjected...
Taste drives consumption of foods. The tropical tree Moringa oleifera is grown worldwide as a protein-rich leafy vegetable and for the medicinal value its phytochemicals, in particular glucosinolates, which can lead to pronounced harsh taste. All studies date have examined only cultivated, domestic variants, meaning that potentially useful variation wild type plants has been overlooked. We examine whether domesticated M. differ myrosinase or glucosinolate levels, these different levels...
Dairy and meat production are very complex in dry regions due to shortages the low quality of fodder, especially months. Livestock scientists enthusiastic explore investigate good fodder that can boost milk an economical way. Moringa oleifera is known as one best crops for with scanty amounts water. Hence, present study was designed evaluate potential a field crop by harvesting at different cutting heights (30, 90, 150 cm). The nutritional (minerals like P, K, Ca, Mg, crude protein)...
Moringa (Moringa oleifera L.) is a multipurpose plant with high nutritional composition and can be re-shaped in tree, hedge, fence etc. due to its re-growth capability being grown as multi-cut forage.This study investigated the effect of different planting spacing cutting frequencies on biomass production quality moringa.Seeds moringa were sown beds at 15 cm × 30 (narrow) 60 (broad).The for fresh (i) d (ii) 20 (iii) d. Fresh matter yield 1 st 2 nd year was recorded 6.40 7.57 t ha -1 ,...
Growth performance and enzymatic-antioxidant activities of Moringa oleifera were investigated under simultaneous effect water availability plant growth regulators. Plant regulators i.e., cytokinin (50 mg L−1), thiourea (5 mM), benzyl amino purine (BAP @ 50 salicylic acid hydrogen peroxide (120 μM) ascorbic L−1) exogenously applied to moringa plants at three holding capacity levels, 100, 70, 40% in a completely randomized design with replications. A decrease shoot length, leaf score number...
Interspecific and intraspecific hybrids show varying degrees of heterosis for yield components. Yield-component traits have complex genetic relationships with each other. To determine the relationship yield-component fiber seed cotton yield, six lines (Bt. CIM-599, CIM-573, MNH-786, CIM-554, BH-167, GIZA-7) three test (MNH-886, V4, CIM-557) were crossed in a line x tester mating design. Heterosis was observed traits, other traits. interspecific more prominent than hybrids. The hybrid Giza-7...
Abstract Drought stress creates imbalance or deficiency of some growth regulators in plants, which leads toward reduced crop yield. Gibberellic acid is one the most important improve drought tolerance plants under optimum concentration. A field experiment was conducted exogenous application gibberellic normal condition and with without application. Crop yield parameters were assesses during experimentation. Study revealed that term leaf area index (LAI), duration (LAD), rate (CGR), net...
Moringa oleifera L. was grown under cadmium and lead stress conditions the variations in its mineral content, polyphenolics, antioxidant activities were studied how these heavy metals affect plant growth development. In this study, metal translocation factor found <1 which indicates more accumulation moringa roots than stem. A significant increase enzymatic non-enzymatic observed leaves, stem, shows can withstand metalliferous by regulating system. Various parts of plants exhibited good...
