The efficiency of Cytochrome P450 gene-based markers in accessing genetic variability of drumstick (Moringa oleifera Lam.) accessions.

Drumstick (Moringa oleifera Lam.) is an important vegetable as well as forage crop of arid and semi-arid zones of the tropics. The leaves and pods of the plant are rich sources of minerals and vitamins.

The effect of silver nitrate on micropropagation of Lam. an important vegetable crop of tropics with substantial nutritional value.

An improved micropropagation protocol facilitating continuous multiplication of elite germplasm of has been developed. Initial culture of nodal explant in MS medium supplemented with 2.5 µM BA resulted in the formation of 12.

Assessment of heavy metals in Averrhoa bilimbi and A. carambola fruit samples at two developmental stages.

Though the fruits of Averrhoa bilimbi and A. carambola are economically and medicinally important, they remain underutilized. The present study reports heavy metal quantitation in the fruit samples of A.

A comparative study of the anthelmintic potential of cleome viscosa L. And cleome burmanni w. And a.

Methanol, aqueous and chloroform extracts of Cleome viscosa and Cleome burmanni were tested for anthelmintic potential against the Indian earthworm Pheritima posthuma. Different concentrations of the extracts ranging from 50-2000 μg/ml were tested and results expressed as time required for paralysis and death of the worms. Piperazine citrate was used as a reference standard and DMSO (1%) as the negative control.
