Energy plays a important role in all day to day activities, especially those that are energy intensive. An Energy audit plays a major role in reduction of new power generation. It can help us to determine the energy wasting deficiencies in homes, firms, factories, industries and can show exactly how to address these problems. A detailed study to es...

Callus induction and high frequency regeneration was obtained from nodal explants of five-year-old plants of Syzygiun cuminii when cultured on WP medium supplemented with 2,4-D (4.5 μM) and BA (4.4 μM). Calli were subcultured on WP medium with different concentrations of BA (0.04-17.7 μM). Shoot initiation was observed in 4.4 μM -13.3 μM BA contain...

Direct shoot regeneration from terminal bud and mature nodal explant were obtained in Terminalia arjurta. Nodal explants produced more shoots than terminal apex. Woody Plant medium with 2mg/BA produced maximum shoots. For rooting IAA at 1mg/l found to be better than IBA and NAA. The rooted plantlets were successfully established in the field.

The pollen development in Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench was studied by light microscopy in median longitudinal sections of flower buds at five successive developmental stages, employing mercuric bromophenol blue stain. At every stage, the areas of cell, nucleus and vacuoles were measured and the area ratio of nucleus to vacuole-free cytoplasm...

Free amino acids were determined at six chronologically comparable developmental stages each of leaves 1 and 2, bearing vegetative dormant axillary meristem and leaves 3 and 4, bearing axillary flower bud, inAbelmoschus esculentus. Simultaneously, free amino acids were determined in the flower bud at the third leaf axil at four stages of growth. Th...
