Aluminum (Al) toxicity is a major abiotic stress that negatively impacts plant growth and crop productivity. Al ions are released into soil solutions as function of pH, which in turn determined by combination factors, including local geology, historic vegetation land-use patterns. Selection use Al-tolerant crops preferred method to address the problem toxicity. The present study evaluated moder...

An experiment was conducted to study the effect of micronutrients on growth and yield performance chickpea. The consisted using two factors- variety treatments. Two local cultivars viz. BARI Chola-5 Chola-9 five treatments e.g. T0 = control, T1 2 kg B/ha, T2 Mo/ha, T3= seed priming with Mo (1g/l water), T4 foliar spray B (0.5 g/l water) + T5 B/ha were considered for this study. A randomized com...

A field experiment was conducted aiming to study the influence of Sulphur and Zinc on growth yield chickpea during Rabi season 2021/22. The treatments were T1 (20 kg sulphur h-1 + 10 zinc h-1), T2 15 T3 20 h-1),T4 (30 T5 T6 T7 (40 T8 h-1) T9 h-1). findings show that treatment recorded highest plant height (44.11 cm), maximum number nodules/plant (42.40), dry weight (8.05 g/plant), pods/plant (3...

The LegumeIP 2.0 database hosts large-scale genomics and transcriptomics data and provides integrative bioinformatics tools for the study of gene function and evolution in legumes. Our recent updates in LegumeIP 2.0 include gene and protein sequences, gene models and annotations, syntenic regions, protein families and phylogenetic trees for six legume species: Medicago truncatula, Glycine max (...

This paper reports the presence of a Kunitztype protease inhibitor (HGPI) gene in Dolichos biflorus for the first time. A full-length protease inhibitor gene with complete open reading frame of 669 bp encoding 222 amino acids was cloned from D. biflorus using a PCRbased method. BlastN search showed that the HGPI gene shared 100% homology with Cicer arietinum trypsin inhibitor mRNA and 97% with ...

Inflammation is the natural body defense mechanism for the removal of injurious agents, necrosed cells and tissues from the body. This study was aimed to evaluate the anti-inflammatory and platelet aggregation effects of three medicinal plants of Pakistan. Methanolic extract of garden pea inhibited arachidonic acid (AA)-induced platelet aggregation (IC50 = 35 microg/mL) and platelet activating ...

In the present communication, a comparative HPLC analysis of water-soluble vitamins (B-group) was carried out in in vitro and ex vitro germinated chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) seeds. Quantitative analysis of ex vitro and in vitro germinated seedlings showed significant differences in vitamin contents. Maximum amount with a linear increase in B1 (thiamine HCl), B2 (riboflavin), and B3 (nicotinam...
