The present investigation was carried out at Bihar Agricultural College, Sabour, Bhagalpur (Bihar) during the rabi, 2017-18 with eighteen genotypes including three checks, in order to identify high yielding stable linseed agronomic situations viz., Utera (sowing of seed before harvesting standing paddy crop utilize moisture efficiently under rainfed agro-ecosystem), Rainfed, and Irrigated condi...

Linseed (Linum usitatissimum L.) is an annual oil crop that accounts for approximately 1 % of the world's oilseed supplies. It produces seeds that are rich in the health-promoting ω-3 fatty acid, α-linolenic. In Kenya, linseed is grown in the Rift Valley and Western regions, places which often experience drought. This study was aimed at evaluating the effect of water stress on growth of three l...

Twelve hybrids along with their seven parents were subjected to study the genetic variability indicated that genetic material in the present investigation possessed variability which provides sufficient basis for selection by breeder. High estimates of PCV and GCV were obtained for biological yield per plant and seed yield per plant indicated a good deal of variability in those characters signi...

In this work, a two-step extraction methodology of ionic liquid-based ultrasonic-assisted extraction (IL-UAE) and ionic liquid-based aqueous two-phase system (IL-ATPS) was developed for the extraction and purification of secoisolariciresinol diglucoside (SDG) from flaxseed. In the IL-UAE step, several kinds of ILs were investigated as the extractants, to identify the IL that affords the optimum...

Diversity of flower traits is often proposed as the outcome of selection exerted by pollinators. Positive directional pollinator-mediated selection on floral size has been widely shown to reduce phenotypic variance. However, the underlying mechanism of maintaining within-population floral color polymorphism is poorly understood. Divergent selection, mediated by different pollinators or by both ...
