A review on real time implementation of soft computing techniques in thermal power plant.

Thermal Power Plant is a common power plant that generates power by fuel-burning to produce electricity. Being a significant component of the energy sector, the Thermal Power Plant faces several issues that lead to reduced productivity. Conventional researchers have tried using different mechanisms for improvising the production of Thermal Power Plants in varied dimensions.

Ethrel-induced release of fresh seed dormancy causes remodelling of amylase activity, proteomics, phytohormone and fatty acid profile of groundnut L.).

Unlabelled: It is important to have a short period of fresh seed dormancy in some of the groundnut species to counter pre-harvest sprouting (PHS). One of the main causes of PHS is the activation of ethylene-mediated pathways. To determine the effect of ethylene, the study was conducted and alterations in amylase, proteins and fatty acids were observed at the 0, 6, 12, and 24 h stages after ethrel administration.

Accumulation of resveratrol, ferulic acid and iron in seeds confer iron deficiency chlorosis tolerance to a novel genetic stock of peanut ( L.) grown in calcareous soils.

Unlabelled: Peanut is mostly grown in calcareous soils with high pH which are deficient in available iron (Fe) for plant uptake causing iron deficiency chlorosis (IDC). The most pertinent solution is to identify efficient genotypes showing tolerance to limited Fe availability in the soil. A field screening of 40 advanced breeding lines of peanut using NRCG 7472 and ICGV 86031 as IDC susceptible and tolerant checks, respectively, was envisaged for four years.

An expedient ion chromatography based method for high-throughput analysis of phytic acid in groundnut kernels.

Unlabelled: A study was made to expedite ion chromatography method using IonPac analytical column and self-regenerating anion suppressor for phytic acid determination in groundnut seeds and compared with a widely adopted spectrophotometric method based on enzymatic hydrolysis. The Ion Chromatography method equipped with AG11 guard and AS11 analytical columns in isocratic mode using 65 mM NaOH mobile phase at 1 mL min flow rate showed a sharp peak for phytic acid with a retention time of 2.42 ± 0.

Metabolic profiling for dissection of late leaf spot disease resistance mechanism in groundnut.

Unlabelled: Late leaf spot (LLS) caused by fungi is generally more destructive and difficult to control than early leaf spot. The aim of this study was to decipher biochemical defense mechanism in groundnut genotypes against by identifying resistance specific biomarkers and metabolic pathways induced during host-pathogen interaction. Metabolomics of non-infected and infected leaves of moderately resistant (GPBD4 and ICGV86590), resistant (KDG128 and RHRG06083) and susceptible (GG20, JL24 and TMV2) genotypes was carried out at 5 days after infection (65 days after sowing).
