Indigenous folk rice cultivars often possess remarkable but unrevealed potential in terms of nutritional attributes and biotic stress tolerance. The unique cooking qualities blissful aroma many these landraces make it an attractive low-cost alternative to high priced Basmati rice. Sub-Himalayan Terai region is bestowed with great agrobiodiversity traditional heirloom cultivars. In the present study, ninety-nine from regions were collected, purified characterized for morphological yield...
-1 YE. However, coconut water (5 and 10% concentrations from Pink Dwarf variety) encouraged green plantlet regeneration only in Karnal local 95. High callus induction was observed with synthetic hormones comparison to the control set. when medium (CIM) supplemented 2, 4-D IBA Taraori Basmati Among varieties Pusa 95 showed better inductions on N6 6% maltose. Maximum sucrose or maltose were used as carbon source. Total cent percent CIM (6%). plants obtained added (6%) for Plantlet present...
Abstract Background Stevia rebaudiana is an economically important medicinal plant that has generated interest among the growers and pharmacologists in terms of its industrial or pharmaceutical value. For mass production seedlings, easy convenient techniques are lacking while, micro propagation was reported promising but still out reach at farm level. The unavailability quality planting materials due to non-viable seeds restricting commercial scale cultivation. present study therefore...
Tropical Agricultural Research and Extension is a peer-reviewed international scientific journal covering wide range of subject areas in tropical subtropical agriculture published quarterly by the Faculty Agriculture, University Ruhuna, Sri Lanka.

Hematoxylin staining is an early indicator of Aluminium (Al) toxicity effects on the apices young, developing roots and has also been used as a precocious, nondestructive way studying Al-sensitivity in plant species. Al(H2O)63+ which known Al3+ dominant acid soil below pH 5.0 most toxic form. Presence Al rhizosphere rice restricts root growth significantly reduces crop productivity. In this present study, 40 genotypes were screened for Al-toxicity tolerance based hematoxylin apex seedlings....
Biotechnological tools are useful for true-to-type propagation. Shoot tips encapsulation is potential plant development from pre-existing meristematic tissue. MS medium fortified with 1 and 2 mg/L of BAP (6-bezylaminopurine) was found to be suitable in vitro mass-multiplication plantlets (10.18 13.05 plantlets/explant, respectively) Citrus jambhiri nodal segments. Nodal segments were more appropriate than the shoot multiplication plantlets. Synthetic seeds prepared using 2.5% sodium alginate...
The genetic variability was assayed in 35 aromatic Farmers’ Varieties (FVs). High magnitude of observed for all the characters under study. heritability days to 50% flowering, plant height, number panicles per plant, panicle length, grains panicle, 100-grain weight, grain breath and yield. collective contribution yield contributing resulted high Rampha, Laldhyapa-1, A-1-1, Kauka, Kalakali Joha Bora. Khasa, Radhunipagul, Mohanbhog, Gobindobhog, Kalojeera, Badshahbhog, Tulsibhog, Tulaipanji,...
Mutation induced variability is an important method in plant breeding to create non-existing desirable genotype(s) for crop improvement. In this endeavour, gamma radiation was used improving plant type and yield attributing traits a local aromatic cultivar, Tulaipanji. Eight mutants were identified from M4 generation. All those eight Tulpanji photoperiod-insensitive, non-lodging, semi-dwarf with high potential retained the aroma. Mutants TP3-2, TP3-4 TP3-6 showed high increase (>89%) over...
Three Farmers’ Varieties of potato from Cooch Behar district West Bengal viz., Pakri alu, Badami alu and Local-1 have been identified. They are being cultivated by the local farmers since long. For registration under Protection Plant Right Authority (PPV&FRA), New Delhi, these varieties were characterized following “Guidelines for Conduct Test Distinctiveness, Uniformity Stability on Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.)” published PPV&FRA (2009). Twenty seven qualitative eleven quantitative...
