The Legacy of Plant Invasion: Impacts on Soil Nitrification and Management Implications.

Plant invasions can have long-lasting impacts on soil nitrification, which plays a critical role in nutrient cycling and plant growth. This review examines the legacy effects of plant invasion on soil nitrification, focusing on the underlying mechanisms, context dependence, and implications for management. We synthesize literature on the positive, negative and neutral legacy effects of plant invasion on soil nitrification, highlighting the complexity of these effects and the need for further research to fully understand them.

Phytochemical profiling, antimicrobial, and antioxidant activities of hydroethanolic extracts of prickly pear () fruit and pulp.

Phenolic compounds in prickly pear [ (L.) Mill.] are known to contribute to the antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of the prickly pear.

Genetic Effects of GA-Responsive Dwarfing Gene on Plant Height, Peduncle Length, Internodal Length and Grain Yield of Wheat under Drought Stress.

Reduction in plant height is generally associated with an increase in lodging resistance, drought tolerance and grain yield of wheat worldwide. Historically, a significant increase in grain yield was observed through the introduction of semi-dwarf wheat varieties utilizing the gibberellic acid-insensitive genes ( or ). The gibberellic acid sensitive (GA-sensitive) reduced height () genes are available that are alternatives to gibberellic acid insensitive (GA-insensitive) genes, having a neutral effect on coleoptile length seedling vigor suggesting their potential in using alone or in combination with GA-insensitive genes to improve grain yield and drought tolerance in wheat.

Probing the physicochemical characteristics of carrot sauce during storage.

Globally, the prevalence of vit-A deficiency disorders i.e., xerophthalmia and nyctalopia is increasing especially in teenagers due to lifestyle shifts and undernutrition.

Genetic Factors Underlying Single Fiber Quality in A-Genome Donor Asian Cotton ().

The study of A-genome Asian cotton as a potential fiber donor in Gossypium species may offer an enhanced understanding of complex genetics and novel players related to fiber quality traits. Assessment of individual fibers providing classified fiber quality information to the textile industry is Advanced Fiber Information System (AFIS) in the recent technological era. Keeping the scenario, a diverse collection of 215 Asiatic cotton accessions were evaluated across three agro-ecological zones of China.

A comparative study on the virulence of entomopathogenic fungi against Trogoderma granarium (Everts) (Coleoptera: Dermestidae) in stored grains rice.

Entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) now a possible safer microbial control measure that could be considered as a substitute for chemical control of insect pests. Three EPF viz., Metarihizium anisopliae, Isaria furnosoroseus and Beauveria bassiana were evaluated for their virulence against the grubs of Khapra beetle, Trogoderma granarium (Everts) under laboratory conditions.

Effect of alkaline and chemically engineered biochar on soil properties and phosphorus bioavailability in maize.

Phosphorous (P) fixation in alkaline calcareous soils is a serious concern worldwide and acidified-biochar application has been proposed to improve the agronomic benefits of applied P. The present study aims to improve understanding of P transformation process in an alkaline soil following different biochar amendments (rice-husk biochar (RHB), sugarcane-bagasse biochar (SWB) and wheat-straw biochar (WSB)), chemically engineered (acidification with 1 N HCl or washing with distilled water (pristine biochar)) along with or without P at 60 mg kg. A pot experiment was conducted with three biochars (RHB, SWB, WSB) and control, two chemical modifications (acidic and pristine), and two P-levels (without or with P).

Incredible Role of Osmotic Adjustment in Grain Yield Sustainability under Water Scarcity Conditions in Wheat ( L.).

Interrogations of local germplasm and landraces can offer a foundation and genetic basis for drought tolerance in wheat. Potential of drought tolerance in a panel of 30 wheat genotypes including varieties, local landraces, and wild crosses were explored under drought stress (DS) and well-watered (WW) conditions. Considerable variation for an osmotic adjustment (OA) and yield components, coupled with genotype and environment interaction was observed, which indicates the differential potential of wheat genotypes under both conditions.

Development and optimization of processing techniques for intermediate moisture muskmelon chunks.

Muskmelon ( fruit is a best source of vitamins, minerals, and bioactive components. Ingestion of high sugary drinks leads to numerous ailments such as diabetes mellitus, obesity, and tooth decay.
