Abstract

Pranic agriculture is a newly emerging concept of sustainable and eco-friendly agriculture. Pranic agriculture techniques are applied to plants before sowing and at the time of plant development to improve growth and yield. The present study aimed to understand the influence of pranic agriculture on growth, yield, and genetic polymorphism of ridge gourd. An increase in root length by 38%, stem girth by 8%, and the number of days taken for the premier harvest was advanced and found to be significant (p<.05) in pranic treated plots against the control. Chlorophyll content was 26% higher (p<.05) in pranic treated plants when compared to control. To find out the probable effects of pranic agriculture at molecular levels, RAPD marker analysis was carried out and average polymorphism up to 47% was observed between pranic and control treatments. Thus, pranic treatment was found to be very effective in increasing the overall growth and yield of ridge gourd. Further, in-depth studies are warranted about molecular mechanisms that are bringing changes in the plants after pranic treatment.

栽培农业对冬瓜形态性状、叶绿素含量及遗传多态性的影响采用RAPD标记分析进行评价

生态农业是一种新兴的可持续和生态农业概念。种植农业技术应用于播种前和植物发育时期，以提高生长和产量。本研究旨在了解栽培农业对冬瓜生长、产量及遗传多态性的影响。根长增加38%，茎周长增加8%，初次收获的天数比对照提前(p< 0.05)。叶绿素含量比对照高26% (p< 0.05)。为了在分子水平上了解植物农业可能产生的影响，我们进行了RAPD标记分析，发现植物农业与对照处理之间的平均多态性高达47%。由此可见，对冬瓜整体生长和产量的提高是非常有效的。此外，还需要深入研究植物在花粉处理后发生变化的分子机制。
