Myrica gale L. (sweet gale) fruit leachate contains myrigalone A (MyA), a rare C-methylated dihydrochalcone and putative allelochemical, which is known to be a phytotoxin impeding seedling growth. We found that MyA inhibited Lepidium sativum L. seed germination in a dose-dependent manner. MyA did not affect testa rupture, but inhibited endosperm rupture and the transition to subsequent seedling...

Comparative biology includes the comparison of transcriptome and quantitative real-time RT-PCR (qRT-PCR) data sets in a range of species to detect evolutionarily conserved and divergent processes. Transcript abundance analysis of target genes by qRT-PCR requires a highly accurate and robust workflow. This includes reference genes with high expression stability (i.e., low intersample transcript ...

The present study was carried out to investigate the effect of irrigation and nitrogen levels on growth yield Chandrasur (Lepidium sativum Linn.) in two consecutive years Rabi 2018-19 2019-20 at Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Sawaimadhopur, Rajasthan. Results revealed that higher attributes No branches plant-1, Fresh weight harvest (g plant-1), 1000 seed (g), plant height (cm) were found significantly u...

The tree Acacia dealbata is native to Australia but has become invasive in many parts of the world thanks its N-fixing capacity and allelopathic compounds present biomass. We conducted a pilot-scale study assess potential conversion A. biomass by vermicomposting via earthworm Eisenia andrei. flowering aerial was shredded placed vermireactor under greenhouse conditions for 56 days. vermicomposte...
