Introduction: Dravya sangrahana is one of the criteria where different seasons are indicated for collecting parts plants. As per ancient drug collection practice roots to be collected in Hemanth-Shishira (winter) or Greeshma rutu(summer). Eranda(Ricinus communis) an important medicinal plant which particularly as Vrishya (spermatogenic). Hence study has been planned conduct a comparative sperma...

Strigolactones (SLs) or their derivatives have recently been defined as novel phytohormones that regulate root development. However, it remains unclear whether SLs mediate root growth in response to phosphorus (P) and nitrogen (N) deficiency. In this study, the responses of root development in rice (Oryza sativa L.) to different levels of phosphate and nitrate supply were investigated using wil...

Genetic relationships between plant height and root morphology were investigated in a diverse set of wheat germplasm [199 double-haploid progeny derived from a cross between Avalon and Cadenza (Triticum aestivum L.), Rht near-isogenic lines (NILs), and accessions from the Watkins Collection] to investigate whether Rht genes controlling shoot height also control seedling root growth. A germinati...

The debate on context dependence of expressions has many roots: the logicphilosophical tradition, starting with Gottlob Frege and his context principle, has developed– with David Kaplan – a paradigm of formal semantics of context-dependent expressions like indexicals and demonstratives. The debate on commonsense reasoning – starting with John McCarthy – has produced a great amount of works on c...

The monogenic recessive maize (Zea mays) mutant rootless with undetectable meristems 1 (rum1) is deficient in the initiation of the embryonic seminal roots and the postembryonic lateral roots at the primary root. Lateral root initiation at the shoot-borne roots and development of the aerial parts of the mutant rum1 are not affected. The mutant rum1 displays severely reduced auxin transport in t...

The aim of this expository article is to discuss the μ-invariant associated to finitely generated modules over Iwasawa algebras. This is an important invariant which was first discovered by Iwasawa in the 1960’s and occurs in his seminal work on cyclotomic fields [9], [10]. In fact, Iwasawa conjectured that his μ-invariant was always zero for the pprimary subgroup of the ideal class group of th...

I n economics as in anthropology, old artifacts spur continuing debates. A case in point is Knut Wicksell’s celebrated 1898 analysis of the cumulative process of price inflation in pure credit, cashless economies. Some economists view Wicksell’s model as a milestone in the evolution of quantitytheoretic monetary analysis inasmuch as it constitutes the seminal rigorous explanation of how loan-cr...

Roots of some gramineous plants secrete phytosiderophores in response to iron deficiency and take up Fe as a ferric-phytosiderophore complex through the transporter YS1 (Yellow Stripe 1). Here, this transporter in maize (ZmYS1) and barley (HvYS1) was further characterized and compared in terms of expression pattern, diurnal change, and tissue-type specificity of localization. The expression of ...

The ionic contents, pH and osmolality of seminal plasma and their relationships to sperm motility indices (sperm motility duration and percentage of motile sperm) were evaluated in bester. Semen was collected from six bester specimens and their seminal plasma was evaluated. The seminal plasma contained 54.5±2.8 mM sodium, 22.33±2.5 mM chloride, 7.1±1.2 mM potassium, 3.55±0.6 mM calcium and 0.58...
