This study was conducted to evaluate genetic variation among four parents and their 12 F2 populations for various morphological attributes at The University of Agriculture, Peshawar during 2012 rice crop growing season. ...

Capparis decidua (C. decidua) is an important medicinal plant from the family Capparaceae. The present study explores the proximate (moisture, protein, crude fiber, dry matter) composition and minerals profile of various ...

A plastic tunnel experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of eggplant/garlic relay intercropping on the eggplant growth, chlorophyll content and combined output value in 2011 and 2012. The experimental design ...

After 80% seed germination plants of an early flowering cultivar Chimes White of Antirrhinum were subjected to five set-point temperature regimes (14, 18, 22, 26 and 30°C) for two consecutive years to observe their effects ...

Seeds are either stored in a soil seed bank or retained on maternal plants until they are released (aerial seed bank). Though there are extensive studies on the germination requirements of seeds in soil banks of saline ...

Field experiments were conducted to investigate the effect of foliar application of selected plant growth regulators (PGRs) on the proximate composition, biochemical and antioxidants attributes of broccoli (Brassica oleracea ...

Efficient tissue culture system is important for transformation of important genes in hybrid tomato cultivars. The present study was undertaken to develop an efficient tissue culture system for hybrid tomato cultivar ...

Balanced boron (B) application is well-known to enhance the cotton production; however, the narrow range between Bdeficiency and toxicity levels makes it difficult to manage. Cotton genotypes extensively differ in their ...

Silicon (Si) an essential plant constituent or metabolite is involved in enhancing metabolic, physiological and structural stability in plants. However, its role under biotic and abiotic stress conditions is still unclear ...

Salinity is a major environmental stress limiting plant growth and productivity of wide range of crops with impairing effects on germination and yield. The present study was conducted to assess the induction of salt tolerance ...
