Genetic Diversity Analysis based on the Virulence, Physiology and Regional Variability in Different Isolates of Powdery Mildew in Pea.

Powdery mildew is an omnipresent disease that reduces the yield and quality of pea crops ( L.). To examine the powdery mildew pathogen's morphological, molecular, and genetic diversity, we collected samples of powdery mildew-affected pea crops from ten distinct locations in the Nilgiris district of Tamil Nadu, India.

Biodiesel Production Using Wild Apricot () Seed Oil via Heterogeneous Catalysts.

We confined the formation and characterization of heterogenous nano-catalysts and then used them to produce biodiesel from the novel non-edible seed oil of . seeds' oil content was extracted at about 52.4 ± 3% with 0.

Impacts of Gum Arabic and Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) with Salicylic Acid on Peach Fruit () Shelf Life.

Peaches are grown in many Egyptian orchards for local and global fresh market sales. The interior fruit tissue breakdown (IFTB), often resulting in decayed peaches, is a severe problem during marketing. Therefore, to minimize FTB of peaches, in this study, gum arabic (GA) and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) were mixed with different concentrations of salicylic acid (SA) (0, 1, and 2 mM) and were applied as edible coating to extend the shelf life of peach fruits.

Influence of sowing windows and genotypes on growth, radiation interception, conversion efficiency and yield of guar.

Crop growth largely depends on radiation. Radiation is the main impetus for photosynthesis and movement of photosynthates from source to sink. Therefore, identification of the optimum sowing windows and suitable cultivars for efficient utilization of radiation is of prime importance.

Assessing the Impact of Higher Levels of CO and Temperature and Their Interactions on Tomato ( L.).

Climate change has increasing effects on horticultural crops. To investigate the impact of CO2 and temperature at elevated levels on tomato production and quality of fruits an experiment was conducted by growing plants in open top chambers. The tomato plants were raised at EC (elevated CO at 550 ppm) and EC (elevated CO at 700 ppm) alone and in combination with elevated temperature (ET) + 2 °C in the open top chambers.

Production of Verbascoside, Isoverbascoside and Phenolic Acids in Callus, Suspension, and Bioreactor Cultures of and Biological Properties of Biomass Extracts.

Callus, suspension and bioreactor cultures of were established, and optimized for biomass growth and production of phenylpropanoid glycosides, phenolic acids, flavonoids and iridoids. All types of cultures were maintained on/in the Murashige and Skoog (MS) media with 1 mg/L BAP and 1 mg/L NAA. The inoculum sizes were optimized in callus and suspension cultures.

Genome wide in-silico miRNA and target network prediction from stress responsive Horsegram (Macrotyloma uniflorum) accessions.

Horsegram (Macrotyloma uniflorum (Lam.) Verdc.) is a drought hardy food and fodder legume of Indo-African continents with diverse germplasm sources demonstrating alternating mechanisms depicting contrasting adaptations to different climatic zones.

Species-Polyphenols Studies and Anti-Cancer, Anti-Oxidant, and Anti-Bacterial Activities.

Discovering new natural resources of polyphenols is the aim of many recent studies in the field of natural product research. This study tentatively investigated the polyphenols profile of the stems of seven species , and ) using high performance liquid chromatography with DAD detector (HPLC-DAD) method. Furthermore, the anti-cancer, anti-oxidant, and anti-bacterial potentials of these extracts as well as major identified phenols were explored.

5-Aminolevulinic Acid and Soil Fertility Enhance the Resistance of Rosemary to and and Modulate Plant Biochemistry.

Fungal infection of horticultural and cereal crops by and represents an important biotic stress that could be alleviated by application of 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) to fertile and poor soils. Therefore, in this study, the morphological, physiological, biochemical, and genetic effects of ALA application (eight weekly applications at 3-10 ppm) to and infected (rosemary) in fertile and poor soils were investigated. ALA-treated plants produced the longest and highest number of branches and had higher fresh and dry weights.

Polyphenol Profile and Pharmaceutical Potential of Quercus spp. Bark Extracts.

Targeted profiling of polyphenols in trees may reveal valuable sources of natural compounds with major applications in pharmacology and disease control. The current study targeted the profiling of polyphenols using HPLC-DAD in , and bark extracts. Free radical scavenging of each extract was investigated using antioxidant assays.

Creme Brulee and Mahogany Medicinal Value under Water Stress and Oligosaccharide (COS) Treatment.

Food borne pathogens cause serious human illnesses and diseases and their control using natural bioactive compounds becomes essential for the progress of agricultural and food industries. Developing novel tools to enhance the medicinal values of traditional horticultural medicinal crops is one of the promising methods for achieving food borne pathogens control. In this study, oligosaccharide water solutions were applied to Creme Brulee and Mahogany subjected to a normal irrigation interval (2 days) or to prolonged irrigation intervals (6 days) for 6 weeks.

Bioactivities of Traditional Medicinal Plants in Alexandria.

In traditional folklore, medicinal herbs play a vital role in the prevention and treatment of microbial diseases. In the present study, the phenolic profiles of the medicinal plants L., L.
