Despite being one of the most important staple food consumed by more than half world population, development red rice still lacks behind regular white rice. In Madura, farmers use their local landraces with pericarp. Since growing season is dependent on rainfall, those are expected to provide some useful genes related drought tolerance. This research aimed select drought-tolerant accessions can...

Wheat is the main staple food in world, so it backbone of security. Drought not only affects growth and development but also ultimately has a severe impact on overall productivity crop plants. Some bacteria are capable producing exopolysaccharides (EPS) as survival mechanism, along with other metabolites, which help them survive stressful conditions. The present study was conducted aim inducing...

Gypsophila pilulifera Boiss. & Heldr. is an economically important critically endangered (CR) endemic species of Turkey. This a Mediterranean element and type sample located in square C3 (Antalya). Plants are much more sensitive to abiotic stress factors, especially during germination seedling development stages. In this study, vitro growth properties G. (Caryophyllaceae) were investigated ...

Sustained release matrix pellets loaded with 5% w/w diclofenac sodium (DS) were prepared using extrusion/spheronization technique. Different polyethylene glycols (PEGs) of different molecular weight, namely PEG 2000, PEG 4000 and PEG 6000 were mixed with avicel PH 101® in different weight ratios to manufacture the pellet formulations and water was used as a binder. Mix torque rheomter was used ...

ibuprofen solid dispersions were prepared by the solvent and fusion-solvent methods using polyethylene glycol (peg), polyvinylpyrrolidone (pvp), eudragit rs po, eudragit rl po and hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (hpmc) as carriers to improve physicochemical characteristics of ibuprofen. the prepared solid dispersions were evaluated for the flowability, solubility characteristics and dissolution be...

Germination characteristics, early seedling growth and seed metabolic efficiency of four wheat genotypes (BARI Gom 28, BARI 29, BAW 1177 ESWYT 29) were evaluated under 15% polyethylene glycol (PEG-6000) induced osmotic stress (-3 bar). characteristics (germination rate, co-efficient germination vigor index), shoot root length, dry weight, decreased by PEG than control treatment. But the degree ...

Welsh onion (Allium fistulosum L.) is one of the important vegetable crops in China. However, the seeds of this crop are short-lived and their vitality tends to be easily lost in the course of storage. The present study was conducted to elucidate the effects of welsh onion seed priming with potassium nitrate (KNO3) on seed vigor and on other such related mechanisms during twelve months of stora...
