Investigating the germination characteristics of Chickpea (Cicer arietinum) in response to titanium dioxide nanoparticles priming and drought stress

Various pulses are a good source of β-Amylase and this enzyme could find promising application of hydrolysis of starch. Hydrolysis of starch by β-amylases has couple of food and pharmaceutical applications. In the present work, β-Amylases from a variety of germinating pulses (Vigna radiata, Cicer arietinum (black), Vigna mungo, Glycine max, Cicer arietinum(white) were extracted and characterize...

In the present study effect of fertilizer factory effluent on seed germination, seedling growth and chlorophyll content of gram (Cicer aeritenum) has been carried out, at different concentration of the effluent and time intervals. The effluent is alkaline in nature with strong ammonia odour. The germination percentage of seed, seedling growth and chlorophyll content showed a gradual decline wit...
