A field experiment was carried out at the farm of Divyayan Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Ramakrishna Mission Ashrama, Morabadi, Ranchi during kharif season 2022 with 10 treatments (T1: control or no treatment, T2: Corm treatment Beej Sanjeevani, T3: Beejamrit, T4: Soil application Jiwamrit, T5: Panchagavya, T6: Jiwamrit + T7: Sanjeevani soil T8: T9: Beejamrit T10: Panchagavya) placed in three times rep...

different explants of crocus sativus l. such as corm, style, ovary, petal, anther and leaf were cultured on ls and ms media supplemented with naa and bap or 2,4-d plus bap at different combinations. shoot and corm induction occurred in addition to the formation of other organs. efficient plantlet regeneration with strong roots occurred at 1 mg 1-i of both naa and bap. an increase in 2,4-d level...

Saffron (Crocus sativus) is the most expensive spice in world and a valuable medicinal plant. In this study, flowering, vegetative growth performance, daughter corm formation of potted saffron were investigated six growing media: loamy soil, silty sandy peatmoss, peatmoss + foam. The highest values stigma fresh weight, root number diameter corms observed plants grown soil with light texture, i....

Taro (Colocasia esculenta (L.) Schott) is one of the most underutilized crops in sub-Saharan Africa and an important staple food tropics. Understanding its growth response under selected watering regimes planting densities underpins this research. A study was conducted at Kenya Agricultural Livestock Research Organization (KALRO), Embu Centre, during long rains (LR) 2021 short (SR) 2021–2022. f...

Abstract In an attempt to develop new anti‐inflammatory agents which act by co‐release of carbon monoxide (CO) and a specialized pro‐resolving mediator, we designed conjugates lipoxin A 4 analogue acyloxycyclohexadiene‐Fe(CO) 3 complex as esterase‐triggered CO‐releasing molecule (ET‐CORM). After adjustment the protecting group strategy, two such compounds were successfully prepared total synthe...

Cerebral ischemia and neurodegenerative diseases lead to impairment or death of neurons in the central nervous system. Stem cell based therapies are promising strategies currently under investigation. Carbon monoxide (CO) is an endogenous product of heme degradation by heme oxygenase (HO) activity. Administration of CO at low concentrations produces several beneficial effects in distinct tissue...

The effect of recalcitrant hydrocarbons on the fatty acid profile from leaf, basal corm, and roots of Cyperus laxus plants cultivated in greenhouse phytoremediation systems of soils from aged oil spill-impacted sites containing from 16 to 340 g/Kg total hydrocarbons (THC) was assessed to investigate if this is a C18:3 species and if the hydrocarbon removal during the phytoremediation process ha...
