Crop production is inherently sensitive to climatic variations. Flowers have been admired and used by human to beautify their environment, and also as objects of romance, ritual, religion, medicine and as a source of food. Gladiolus (Gladiolus grandiflorus Andrews; family Iridaceae) is an important bulbous cut flower grown all over the world. The present study was carried out to check the growt...

A field experiment was carried out to “Study of Evaluating Genetic Variability Gladiolus (Gladilous grandiflorus L.) Cultivars Under Agro –Climatic conditions Prayagraj” conducted at the Departmental research Horticulture, Naini, Agriculture Institute during Rabi season 2022-2023. The involved 15 cultivars arranged in randomized block design with three replication. analysis data showed that phe...

Little is known about how production practices influence taro (Colocasia esculenta) corm density. This study was conducted to determine the effects soil type and harvest age have on corm density. Niue taro variety was grown on 3 soil types on Tutuila, American Samoa, and harvested 6, 7, 8, and 9 months after planting. Corm densities were measured using a double-weighing method: weighting the co...

Carbon monoxide (CO) is emerging as an important and versatile mediator of physiological processes to the extent that treatment of animals with exogenous CO gas has beneficial effects in a range of vascular- and inflammatory-related disease models. The recent discovery that certain transition metal carbonyls function as CO-releasing molecules (CO-RMs) in biological systems highlighted the poten...

Carbon monoxide (CO)-releasing molecules (CO-RMs) are intensively studied to provide cytoprotective and anti-inflammatory effects of CO in inflammatory conditions including intestinal inflammation. The water-soluble CORM-A1 reduced apoptosis and NADPH oxidase (NOX)-derived reactive oxygen species (ROS) induced by tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α/cycloheximide (CHX) in mouse MODE-K intestinal epith...

The present investigation entitled, “Effect of integrated nutrient management on corm and cormels production gladiolus cv. PDKV Gold” was carried out during the years 2018-19 2019-20 at College Agriculture Garden, Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola (M.S.).The experiment laid in Randomized Block Design with three replications thirteen treatments. results revealed that, yield paramet...

The influence of different levels of phosphorus on corm and flower productivity of Gladiolus (Gladiolus grandiflorus) was studied at Faculty of Agriculture Rawalakot, Azad Jammu and Kashmir during the year 2010. Corms of similar size and weight were collected from Awan Nursery and Seed Store, Rawalpindi. Sowing was done on 25 April, 2010 with five different phosphorus levels viz. 40, 70, 100, 1...

To understand soil colonization by a root system, information is needed on the architecture of the root system. In monocotyledons, soil exploration is mainly due to the growth of adventitious primary roots. Primary root emergence in banana was quantified in relation to shoot and corm development. Root emergence kinetics were closely related to the development of aerial organs. Root position at ...

BACKGROUND Guaiacol peroxidases (GP) are haem-containing enzymes participating in many physiological processes in plants. The expression pattern of these enzymes is organ-specific and developmentally regulated. METHODS The presence of GP activity in extract samples, prepared from Crocus sativus L. corms that were either dormant or rooting for 3, 6 and 10 days, was investigated. RESULTS Kine...

Leptin, a circulating hormone, regulates food intake and body weight. While leptin resistance represents a major cause of obesity, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress can contribute to leptin resistance. Carbon monoxide (CO), a gaseous molecule, exerts antiapoptotic and anti-inflammatory effects in animal models of tissue injury. We hypothesized that CO c...
