Biofuels have been identified as suitable in combating climate change a result of green gas emissions from fossil fuels. Bioethanol is biofuel lignocellulosic biomass considered viable renewable energy alternative to However, the recalcitrance feedstocks due presence lignin, creates barrier glucose fermentation. This study compares enzymatic and dilute acid hydrolyses cellulose substrates obtai...

Fusarium spp. complex, (Fusarium verticillioides, F. subglutinans, moniliforme, graminearum) causing post flowering stalk rot (PFSR), has been reported as a serious disease in southern Rajasthan, and eastern Gujarat winter maize. In the present study, emphasis laid on efficacy of twenty seven Trichoderma strains against verticillioides which is major causal organism. Efficacy evaluation was bas...

Root and stalk rot (RSR) of maize (Zea mays L.) plants, caused by soil-borne disease pathogens the genus Pythium, can get worse in global warming. It has been known that resistance F1 hybrids often disaccords with those their parental inbreds, which makes it difficult to develop resistant effectively. Best linear unbiased prediction (BLUP) is a standard mixed model equation, fitted for predicti...

The study was conducted to investigate the ge-netic basis of kenaf fiber yield and quality In two sets of generations derived from 1X51 x Gha-na07 and Gregg x Ghana07 crosses. Analysis of generation means using weighted least squares procedure was performed on stalk dry weight, bast percentage, days to flowering, plant height, and basal stalk diameter . Analysis of generation means revealed tha...
