A field experiment was conducted to study the effects of different sowing schedules and planting geometry on yield productivity Indian mustard (Brassica juncea L.) var. Giriraj. Among schedules, crop 2nd decade October found produce significantly higher seed biological yield. The early recorded values utilization accumulation various agromet indices like growing degree days (GDD), helio-thermal...

A field experiment was conducted in four levels of sculpture (0, 20, 40 and 60 kg/ha) three varieties Indian mustard (NDR-8501, NDRE-4 Vardan) at Agronomy Research Farm, Narendra Deva University Agriculture Technology, Kumarganj, Faizabad, during 2012-2013. Among various dose the application kg S/ha found optimum for increasing seed yield (15.30 q/ha) oil percentage (39.36%) content mustard. Va...

Both soil and plant samples of nine different plant species grown in soils from southeastern China contaminated with uranium mine tailings were analyzed for the plant uptake and translocation of U, Ra and Th. Substantial differences were observed in the soileplant transfer factor (TF) among these radionuclides and plant species. Lupine (Lupinus albus) exhibited the highest uptake of U (TF value...

This study describes the isolation and purification of a phytocystatin from seeds of Brassica juncea (Indian mustard; cultivar RoAgro 5444), which is an important oilseed crop both agriculturally and economically. The protein was purified by gel filtration chromatography with 24.3% yield and 204-fold purification, and visualised by 2D gel electrophoresis. The 18.1 kDa mustard cystatin was highl...
