Dendrobium chrysotoxum Lindl., native to the Northeastern region and that native to the Northern region of Thailand have some different morphological characters. Their genetic differences were then determined at molecular ...

Storage of seeds with high water content and temperatures favors the growth of mould fungi which in turn affect the germination of seeds while low temperature with low water content prevent the growth of storage fungi and ...

Three strains of Aspergillus niger were retrieved from culture collection of the Department of Microbiology, University of Karachi, Karachi, Pakistan and were studied for their ability to produce cellulases. Cultivation ...

The inherent non-linearity of citric acid fermentation from Aspergillus niger renders its control difficult, so there is a need to fine-tune the bioreactor performance for maximum production of citric acid in batch culture. ...

Stem end rot majorly contributes in post-harvest losses of mango during storage conditions. Maximum disease incidence (70%) was recorded in Sindhari cultivar, followed by Chaunsa (64%), Fajri (62.5%) and 50% in both Langra ...

Soil-microbe-plant interactions are known to be intricate and they can greatly influence the crop vigor and yield. Plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) containing ACC deaminase can markedly affect plant metabolic ...

Drought stress is one of the major environmental constraints to crop plants including wheat worldwide. Synthetic hexaploid can act as a vehicle for improving crop tolerance against biotic and abiotic stresses. Doubled ...

Objective of the present study is to identify the species belonging to the genus Onobrychis (Fabaceae) growing native in and around Erzurum, and to determine their overall prevalence and morphological and quality ...

Foliar nutrient concentration for the dominant conifer species (Pinus wallichiana, Abies pindrow and Cedrus deodara) of moist temperate areas of Himalayan and Hindukush region of Pakistan was evaluated. Soils samples and ...

In Mexico and the rest of the world, the presence of “yellow berry” (YB) in wheat grains (Triticum aestivum) has been related with poor quality, this defect is associated with low protein content in the grains. However, ...
