Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMetabolite Profiles of Arsenic Tolerant Plants Regenerated from Stem Calli of Andrographis paniculata (Burm.f.) Nees using HPLC and 1D 1H NMRJ. Vijayakumar, P. Ponmanickam, P. Samuel et al.In vitro culture provide a suitable condition for regeneration of arsenic tolerant plants from stem calli of Andrographis paniculata (Burm.f.) Nees. The regenerated plants could be valuable material applicable to soil remediation. In vitro culture of stem explants on MS basal salts, 3.0% sucrose, 0.8% agar medium fortified with various concentrations of As2O3 (0.0-9.0 µM) along with NAA (3.5 mg … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 13, Issue 4 · 27 Oct 2017 · 7,865 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Time of Flooding Occurrence is Critical for Yield Production in Rice and Vary in a Genotype-Dependent MannerJenjira Mongon, Arom Jantasorn, Prateep Oupkaew et al.Flash floods occur in rainfed lowland and flood-prone areas and have a profound incidence on crop yield, which is tightly linked to worldwide food insecurity. The most flooding-threatened crop is rice. Under this condition, rice undergoes anoxic and post-anoxic shock that affects its growth, development capacity and ultimately causes an important grain yield loss. Therefore, the introduction of submergence-tolerant varieties … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 2 · 3 Jun 2017 · 8,093 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStable Nitrogen Isotopic Changes in Winter Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) Induced by its Growth TemperatureZhou Feng Wang, Wei Guo Liu, Rui Juan HaoThe nitrogen dynamics of plants can be quantified using the variation in their δ15N level. This reveals details of plant physiological characteristics and the relationship between plants and their growth conditions. To better understand plant nitrogen dynamics and the effects of external temperature changes on their nitrogen isotopic composition, we investigated the δ15N characteristics in Triticum aestivum and its mother … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 12, Issue 1 · 21 Mar 2017 · 8,119 accessesView PDF Cite

EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractThe Timeless Contribution of Rootstocks towards Successful Horticultural Farming: From Ancient Times to the Climate Change EraIoannis E. PapadakisGrafting is a horticultural practice by which living vegetative plant organs (root, stem and/or buds) of either the same genotype or, usually, different genotypes belonging to the same species, genus, subfamily and/or family, are tightly connected to each other to form a double-compound plant. In fact, it is a method of asexual (clonal-vegetative) propagation of plants. The basal part of … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 4 · 16 Dec 2016 · 9,521 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffects of Salt Stress on Ion Balance at Vegetative Stage in Rice (Oryza sativa L.)Kirill V. Azarin, Andrey V. Alabushev, Alexander V. Usatov et al.Rice (Oryza sativa L.) plants were subjected to NaCl stress within 35 days. The shoot dry weight, root dry weight, total survival percentage and contents of inorganic ions in dry samples of stressed plants were measured to identify the physiological adaptive mechanisms by which rice plants at vegetative stage tolerate salt stresses. Laboratory testing of the 10 rice cultivars showed … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 1 · 21 Mar 2016 · 7,464 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEffect of Endophytic Treatments on Plant Growth Performance and Disease Incidences in Soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merril) Cultivar JS-335 against Challenge Inoculation with R. solaniJitendra Dalal, Nikhilesh KulkarniEndophytes could be efficient biological control agent in sustainable crop production and offer unique opportunity for crop protection and biological control. Present study was carried out to investigate the effects of indigenous endophytic microorganisms Pseudomonas sp., Bacillus sp., Burkholderia sp. Streptomyces sp., Actinoplanes sp., Alternaria sp. and Fusarium sp. on plant growth and disease control against challenge inoculation with Rhizoctonia … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 2 · 13 Jul 2015 · 7,669 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPhysiological and Biochemical Evaluation of Fe-Efficiency in Fe-Deficient Maize GenotypesEntesar M. Essa, Sahar M. Zaghloul, Z.A. Salama et al.Iron (Fe) deficiency is prevalent particularly in calcareous soils of arid and semiarid regions. The present study aimed to investigate the response of eight local maize genotypes to Fe deficiency. In addition, a Fe- efficient (WF9) and a Fe-inefficient (ys1) indicator genotypes were used in this study. All genotypes were grown in growth chamber for 21 days in two levels … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 1 · 22 Apr 2015 · 7,280 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractEVALUATION FOR SALT STRESS TOLERANCE IN TWO STRAWBERRY CULTIVARSW. Al-Shorafa, A. Mahadeen, K. Al-AbsiSalt stress conditions have been found to destroy the vital physiological process in plant where slower cell division and cell enlargement or both and limit mineral nutrient uptake with clearly nutritional imbalance. A greenhouse pot experiment was carried out at Agricultural Research Station, Mu’tah University, Jordan to evaluate growth responses and mineral composition of two strawberry cultivars to salt stress … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 14 Apr 2014 · 7,697 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHost Pathogen Interaction Study in Malformed Affected Tissues of Mangifera indica L.Pradeep Kumar, Madhu Kamle, Vijai Kumar Gupta et al.The malformation disease of mango by Fusarium moniliforme var. subglutinan is one of the major causes of huge economical loss every year. Early diagnosis of the pathogens can help cultivators to protect the mango orchid and fruits from successive and secondary infection. The molecular detection is one of the better choices among available techniques for diagnosis.
