The quality of pulses is influenced by various physical characteristics such as seed colour, hardness, weight, and density. In this study, seed colour was assessed using the Munsell colour chart, revealing eight genotypes with olive green colour and two with pale olive green. Seed weight ranged from 3.82 to 5.14 g, with Phule Chetak recording the h...

Sugarcane is cultivated throughout the Indo-Gangetic plains of South Asia and Maharashtra is second largest producer. The leaf samples were collected at different stages of crop growth from Rahuri farm and were evaluated for nitrate assimilating enzyme viz., in vitro nitrate reductase and sucrose metabolizing enzymes activities viz., sucrose syntha...

Chickpea parents with contrasting root characters and their direct and reciprocal crosses were evaluated under control and drought stress created by withholding irrigation using specially designed root boxes at 50 per cent flowering stage. The crosses involving Vijay and ICC 4958 having deep and prolific root system as a male parent exhibited highe...

Ten wilt resistant and three wilt susceptible chickpea genotypes were subjected to drought stress at pre and post flowering stages along with four drought tolerant and three drought susceptible checks by withholding irrigation. The three wilt resistant chickpea genotypes viz., GJG 0922, JG 24 and JG 2001-4 recorded significant increase in proline a...

Water deficit stress is one of the important factors limiting chickpea production in arid and semiarid regions. Water deficit induced b Polyethylene glycol (PEG) affect physiological and biochemical changes in Chickpea. This investigation was undertaken to evaluate morpho-physiological parameters, levels of osmolytes and activities of antioxidative...
Article
Eighteen promising soybean genotypes having different seed coat colour i.e. yellow, green, brown and black were examined for physio-biochemical differences. The highest mean crude protein content was recorded in brown (42.86%), followed by yellow coloured seeds. The yellow coloured seeds recorded the highest mean crude fat content (19.86%). The mea...

An investigation was conducted to evaluate the effect of osmotic stress on four chickpea cultivars, viz., two drought tolerant (ICC 4958 and Vijay), and two drought susceptible (JG-216 and PG 1808) subjected to mild (−0.4 MPa) and severe (−1.2 MPa) osmotic stress induced by PEG-6000. The activity of ammonia assimilation enzymes, viz., nitrate reduc...
Article
Sixteen low temperature stress tolerant groundnut genotypes were evaluated for the levels of crude fat, crude protein, reducing sugar, non-reducing sugar and total sugars from the defatted meals. Out of 16 genotypes, four genotypes viz., NRCG 1613, NRCG 9799, NRCG 12212 and NRCG 2510, germinated at 15°C, and the contents of proline and extracted so...
Article
Nutritional composition of ten promising forage Lucerne genotypes was evaluated at pre-flowering, 50 per cent and post-flowering plant growth stages for dry matter, moisture, crude protein, cell wall constituents, in vitro dry matter and in vitro protein digestibility. Dry matter content at post-flowering stage was highest (23.27%) followed by 50 p...
Article
The present investigation was undertaken to understand the effect of PEG-6000– induced osmotic stress on isozymes of superoxide dismutase and peroxidase as well as their activities in four each of drought susceptible, tolerant and stay-green sorghum genotypes at seedling stage. Total number of isozymes of superoxide dismutase was more under stresse...
Article
The present research work was carried out with a view to evaluate the levels of crude protein, methionine and tryptophan from the defatted meal of ten each of drought tolerant and susceptible chickpea genotypes. In addition, the contents of proline, glycine betaine, and the activity of Δ1–pyrroline-5-carboxylate synthetase (P5CS) along with soluble...
Article
The genomic DNA of ten commercially released varieties of rice was amplified using random decamer primers. Out of the 40 random primers tested only 10 primers of arbitrary nucleotide sequence caused selective amplification of genomic DNA, which was unique to individual cultivar. Out of 529 amplicons, 87 were found to be highly polymorphic in nature...
