Piriformospora indica (Hymenomycetes, Basidiomycota) is a newly described cultivable endophyte that colonizes roots. Inoculation with the fungus and application of fungal culture filtrate promotes plant growth and biomass production. Due to its ease of culture, this fungus provides a model organism for the study of beneficial plant-microbe interactions and a new tool for improving plant product...

Plant expression systems have been developed to produce anti-cancer vaccines. Plants have several advantages as bioreactors for the production of subunit vaccines: they are considered safe, and may be used to produce recombinant proteins at low production cost. However, several technical issues hinder large-scale production of anti-cancer vaccines in plants. The present review covers design str...

increasing resource use efficiency is one of the important ways to enhance agricultural productions and reduce environmental hazards. for this purpose, improvement of n use efficiency is an effective approach. nitrogen losses not only occur in field but also in the processing course. the objective of this study was to calculate nitrogen losses and efficiency during production to consumption for...

To study the influence of rhizobium inoculation on growth and yield of groundnut (Arachis hypogaea) cultivars, an experiment was conducted at Kurram Agency, Pakistan during 2007. The rhizobium inoculation significantly enhanced the growth and yield parameters of groundnut cultivars. However, the maximum plant height (88.43 cm), number of shoots (19.9 plant), number of leaves (173.27 plant), num...

The rhizosphere is the narrow region of soil that is directly influenced by root secretions and associated with soil microorganisms. Such bacteria which can grow in the rhizosphere region as well as plant roots and enhance the plant growth are referred as plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR). Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria promotes growth of plants through direct and indirect mecha...

Lead and zinc production is one of the main predisposing factors of excessive greenhouse gases emissions, air pollution and water consumption. In this paper, the environmental problems of lead and zinc production in Calcimin plant are expressed and life cycle assessment of this plant is assessed. The data regarding the amount of induced global warming and pollution, acidification, and depletion...

The growth and biomass production by willow (Salix viminalis L.) was studied in lysimeters containing Oxford clay landfill cap soil with different amendments, bulk densities and watering regimes. Three years from planting, stem biomass in well-watered plants was least (0.28 kg plant(-1)) with high bulk density soil (1480 kg m(-3)) and no nutritional amendment but was increased 10-fold (2.53 kg ...

An experiment was conducted at the Floriculture Research Field of Horticulture Research Centre (HRC), Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute, Gazipur, Bangladesh during April, 2015 to February, 2017 to find out the suitable planting materials for specific tuberose genotype for growth, flowering and bulb production of tuberose. Individually both genotypes showed better performances for some ...
