Proteins play an indispensable role in bodybuilding. Thus, it is necessary to add the protein-rich food in daily diet. Black gram, one of the pulses, is being rich in proteins, which is about 20−25%. Heat is one of major important abiotic stress that affect the growth physiology and ultimately reduces the crop productivity. Heat stress majorly affects the reproductive phase and its leads decline in the yield. Plants can able to develop adaptive response to even mildest heat stress at morphological, physiological and biochemical levels. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the blackgram seedlings under high temperature to identify the expression level of heat shock protein for temperature stress tolerance. Heat tolerant plants develops the rapid phenological and biochemical changes which favors higher production. So, this study was carried out to evaluate the response pattern of blackgram under elevated temperature stress imposed on seedling stage in different genotypes. Six blackgram genotypes VBG-06-002, VBG-06-005, VBG-06-010, VBG-07-001, VBG-10-008 and COBG-759 were taken for this experiment. The protein profile as evidenced by SDS page analysis indicated distinct expression of 40 KDa protein in genotypes VBG-07-001, VBG-06-010, VBN-6 and COBG-11-02 not expressed in VBG-06-002 and COBG-759. This expression of protein maybe an indicative feature of thermo tolerance.","PeriodicalId":13829,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Economic Plants","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88002902","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results revealed that women labourers were perceived more drudgery in farm operations as compared men labourers. Women labourers perceived weeding, stubble collection and pesticide application were highest drudgery prone activities whereas men labourers perceived weeding, stubble collection and harvesting were highest drudgery prone activities. Out of thirteen selected farm activities, seed treatment was significantly lowest drudgery prone and weeding was the highest drudgery prone activity for both men and women labourers in the study area. Experience, family size and duration of employment were found to have significant and negative relationship with average drudgery and age & income were positively related with average drudgery.

The combination of biological control agents viz. Trichoderma harzianum (Th) & Pseudomonas fluorescens (Pf), application of farm yard manure, spent mushroom substrate (SMS) of oyster mushroom and the fungicide (Metalaxyl 8%+Mancozeb 64% WP) were assessed against Phytophthora blight of sesame in terms of incubation period, disease incidence, disease severity and yield under natural epiphytotic field conditions during kharif 2021.

However, it was at par with respect to the incubation period and yield in the treatment of soil amended with the combination of SMS and (Th+Pf) before sowing. Maximum reduction in disease incidence (20.04%) and severity (51.41%) of Phytophthora blight over the control was recorded in treatments viz., soil amendment with combination of SMS+ (Th+Pf) and SMS+Th, respectively.

This method has been traditionally practiced in horticultural crops where quality seeds and vigorous seedlings are ensured for cultivation of the species. The assessment of seed physiological maturity in the harvest of forest fruits and seeds are seldom practiced as seed physiological and biochemical studies in tropical seeds is little attempted. Since recalcitrant seed behavior among forest species is increasing, maintenance of seed viability and longevity ex situ becoming a challenging task in the forestry sector. Further, seed loss through fruit predation and pest infestation are other handicaps to these species. An improved technology for harvesting, storage and longevity of recalcitrant seeds will be a breakthrough for the germplasm conservation, management and utilization of forest genetic resources. Identification of biochemical factors at physiological maturity of seeds in conjunction with fruit morphological characters considered as optimum harvest practice for recalcitrant forest fruits and seeds. The practice could extend shelf life of recalcitrant seeds and bypass seed loss prior to the conventional harvest practices. This review outlines the research works carried out in seed physiological maturity of crops and its broad scope among recalcitrant forest seeds for long term germplasm storage.","PeriodicalId":13829,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Economic Plants","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89382150","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The avocado tree is originated from a broad geographical area stretching from the eastern and central highlands of Mexico through Guatemala to the Pacific coast of Central America. Avocado is a fruit, produced from tropical trees characterized by a pear shape and blackish green in colour with high nutritional value and creamy texture. Avocado crop can be used in several ways i.e for processed products, exportation and oil extraction, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries as a raw material thereby generating high value added products.High demand for information on avocado indicates that there is considerable interest in this crop in various parts of India as well as Eastern India. Moreover, avocado can be grown in Darjeeling hilly region and adjoining states of India as the soil and climatic condition is favourable for their growth and development. However, in this region avocado cultivation is very negligible in homestead garden, small and marginal orchard due to lack of scientific knowledge of farmers.

The soil was analyzed for various inorganic P fractions (saloid P, Al-P, Fe-P, RS-P, occluded P,Ca-P) for 90 days at definite intervals. The results showed that calcium bound P (Ca-P) was the dominant fraction in submerged black soil whereas saloid P recorded as the least dominant fraction. It has seen that application of phosphatic fertilizers significantly increased all the P fractions over control.
