Chilli is an important vegetable and spice crop in India. It cultivated under both irrigated rainfed conditions. Most of the local genotypes are grown conditions they known to withstand drought some extent with lowered yield. Since chilli varieties or hybrids not developed for tolerance, experiment was conducted evaluate 34 collected from different regions tolerance using polyethylene glycol 60...

Lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) seeds have poor shelf life and exhibit thermoinhibition (fail to germinate) above ∼25°C. Seed priming (controlled hydration followed by drying) alleviates thermoinhibition by increasing the maximum germination temperature, but reduces lettuce seed longevity. Controlled deterioration (CD) or accelerated ageing storage conditions (i.e. elevated temperature and relative...

The present work investigates the feasibility of the design of an enteric coated microporous osmotic pump tablet (ECMOPT) to prolong the drug release of an antipsychotic drug, quetiapine fumarate (QTF). The ECMOPT consisted of an osmotic core coated with a microporous membrane (MPM) made up of cellulose acetate and PEG 4000 as in situ micropore former. The effect of formulation variables such a...

in this study proline content and activity of catalase (cat), and ascorbate peroxidase (apx) and level of lipid peroxidation in terms of malondialdehyde (mda) content were measured in transgenic tobacco (nicotiana tabacum cv. wisconsin), over expressing a δ-1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate synthase (p5cs) gene, and non transgenic plants as control. drought stress was applied using polyethylene glycol ...

Physiological response of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) genotype R405-2000 at the youthful stage to water deficit induced by polyethylene glycol The effect of water stress induced by polyethylene glycol (PEG) has been studied on germination and seedling growth of cotton. Five different concentrations of PEG have been tested and the results showed that PEG concentrations negatively influence se...

The study determined the electrical performance of dye sensitized solar cell by using electrolyte hydrogels Polyethylene Glycol 4000 and 6000. experimental work consisted Dye Sensitized Solar Cell (DSSC) structure arrangement, assembly DSSC layers, measurement DSSC. resistances TCO glass were 1.1 kΩ 14.9 kΩ. concentration thickening agents in solution 5%, 10%, 15%, a control sample without addi...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Despite differences in physiology between dry and relative moist seeds, seed ageing tests most often use a temperature and seed moisture level that are higher than during dry storage used in commercial practice and gene banks. This study aimed to test whether seed ageing under dry conditions can be accelerated by storing under high-pressure oxygen. methods: Dry barley (Horde...
