Genotype-environment interaction was studied in seven genotypes of chickpea under four different cultural environments. Significant variation for genotype (G), environment (E) and G × E interactions were found for the characters days to maturity, plant height, pods/plant, seeds/plant, 100-seed weight and seed yield/plant. On the basis of stability parameters the genotypes Barichola-2, Barichola...

In electric generat ion plants , facility administration is going to be computerized for s e c u r e and efficient maintenance, a n d i t is needed t o input many a l ready existing plant diagrams (so called piping & ins t rument diagrams) into computer systems. Then i t i s required to recognize plant diagrams, whose drawing quality is s o tough f o r recognition, t h a t t h e drawn elements,...

Olfaction is of major importance for survival and reproduction in moths. Males possess highly specific and sensitive olfactory receptor neurones to detect female sex pheromones. However, the capacity of male moths to respond to host-plant volatiles is relatively neglected and the role that such responses could play in the sensory ecology of moths is still not fully understood. The present study...

The role of plant intraspecific variation in plant-soil linkages is poorly understood, especially in the context of natural environmental variation, but has important implications in evolutionary ecology. We utilized three 18- to 21-year-old common gardens across an elevational gradient, planted with replicates of five Populus angustifolia genotypes each, to address the hypothesis that tree gen...

The ability to decrypt volatile plant signals is essential if herbivorous insects are to optimize their choice of host plants for their offspring. Green leaf volatiles (GLVs) constitute a widespread group of defensive plant volatiles that convey a herbivory-specific message via their isomeric composition: feeding of the tobacco hornworm Manduca sexta converts (Z)-3- to (E)-2-GLVs thereby attrac...

Echium amoenum Fisch. & Mey. (Boraginaceae) is a very popular medicinal plant that is used as a tonic, tranquillizer, diaphoretic, and a remedy for cough, sore throat and pneumonia in traditional medicine of Iran. Callus culture of medicinal plants is one of the ways for production of secondary metabolites. In this study, we investigated callus culture of E. amoenum and the major secondary meta...

Infectious diseases are responsible for thousands of worldwide early death .Many commercial antibiotics have been used to control human's infectious diseases all over the world. Calotropis procera Linn a wild growing plant of Asclepiadaecae family is known to possess multifarious medicinal properties. Total 80 non repetitive clinical E. coli strains recovered during 7 month, a...
