Somatic embryogenesis is an efficient in vitro propagation method which allows the production of several embryos capable of generating plants similar to the initial one from somatic tissues. The use of cocoa floral parts has been reported for regeneration of elite cocoa genotypes. This research is targeted in evaluating the effect of physiological development of the explants (staminode) and its response to two different cytokinase (kinetin and BAP) on embryogenesis. The experiment was laid in factorials with three replications in CRD. Three different physiological ages of the explant were examined: 1 week old (unopened, about 3-4 mm in length),2 weeks old (unopened, about 5-/6 mm in length) and 3 weeks old (unopened; matured flowers). Staminode was studied and explants were initiated for callus induction on Primary Callus Growth medium. The following data were scored for: Explants Induction Percentage, Percentage of callus induced and Percentage of Embryogenic callus. Results showed the interactions among the genotypes, hormones and the physiological age of the explants were significantly different at 0.05% probability level. Explants at 3 and 2 weeks respectively had higher efficiency for embryogenesis while the average performance was observed for explants at a week. Also, BAP recorded higher frequency 80% for embryogenesis compared to kinetin 70% under the present study. Physiological age of explants and the choice of callus development hormone have been found to play significant role in the embryogenesis of cocoa genotypes examined.","PeriodicalId":14144,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Life Science Research Archive","volume":"1 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141795747","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}

Material and method: This research was carried out in September-November 2023. The experimental design in this research was to make maggot caterpillar flour, fish meal, corn flour and tapioca flour, then formulated using the trial and error method. The treatments tried included treatment A with 45% fish meal, 35% maggot meal, treatment B with 50% fish meal and 30% maggot meal, treatment C with 55% fish meal and 25% maggot meal and treatment K with 0% fish meal and maggot meal. 80%. All treatments each added 16% corn flour and 4% tapioca flour as feed adhesive. Physical test analysis includes tests for feed hardness, solubility and feed color. Results: The results of the research show that regarding the solubility of the feed, maggot can be used as an ingredient in making feed because it has good attractiveness for the test fish, even though commercial feed shows better results. Regarding solubility, feed made from maggots has good solubility, even treatments B and C showed better results than the control treatment. The hardness level of the feed is better than the control treatment, which means that the fish can use the feed well because it has a low hardness level and suits the fish's needs. Conclusion: The use of Maggot (Heermetia illucens) as a feed ingredient can be used as a raw material for feed because it can have a positive influence on the physical quality of fish feed such as the attractiveness of the feed to fish, the solubility of the feed, the hardness level of the feed, and the color of the feed.","PeriodicalId":14144,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Life Science Research Archive","volume":"25 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140361839","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}

Descriptively, the study found that the majority of the respondents had access to savings accounts (87.0%) and point of sales (85.0%). Additionally, 81.0% confirmed the availability of microfinance bank (MFB) services, highlighting the extensive presence of MFBs in Anambra State. The study also delves into the market participation of rice farmers. The average farm size for the cooperative was found to be 9.85 hectares, producing an output of 39.73 tons. A high market participation index (0.848) showed that 84.8% of the total rice output was offered for sale. Furthermore, the result of the beta regression analysis revealed that online banking or self-service platforms (0.097), and microfinance services (0.180) positively influence farmer's decisions to participate in the market. Furthermore, cooperative age, legal status, and gender significantly determined the use of these financial products. It was also discovered that various challenges faced by farmers for financial inclusion, such as high interest rates and poor internet services hamper on market participation ability of the farmers. The study therefore recommends that financial institution should revise their interest rate to help accommodate a diverse range of rice farmers.","PeriodicalId":14144,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Life Science Research Archive","volume":"156 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140417666","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 purpose of this study was to determine the effect of endophytic bacterial biofertilizer application on N concentration, root length, and dry weight of rice seedlings (Oryza sativa L.) in soils with different salinities. This research was conducted in the greenhouse of the Faculty of Agriculture, Universitas Padjadjaran. The experimental design used was a Randomized Block Design (RBD) with 8 combinations. The treatments were with and without endophytic bacterial biofertilizers, and soils with different levels of salinity (non-saline soil and saline soil with salinities of 2, 4, and 6 mmhos cm-1) and repeated 4 times. The experimental results showed that the combination treatment of endophytic bacterial biofertilizer in saline soil of 2 mmhos cm-1 was able to increase the N concentration, root length, and dry weight of rice plants which were higher than the treatment of endophytic bacterial biofertilizer in soil with salinity of 4 and 6 mmhos cm-1.
