First we collected larvae from storage and sewage water samples. Rearing was carried out in vitro with provision of different flower parts for feeding. All stages of life cycle were observed. For further study of gut Microflora adult stage mosquito dissected and exposed it’s gut to nutrient agar medium with saline. Characterization was done with different reagents, media and antibiotics. Amylase production detection assay, Catalase production detection assay, Citric acid utilization assay, Methyl red assay were positive. Phosphate solubilization activity detection assay, Arginine dihydrolase production detection assay, Indole Acetic acid (IAA) production detection assay, Voges Proskauer assay were negative. Isolate was resistant to all antibiotics such as Gentamycin, Kanamycin, Chloramphenicol, Vancomycin and Tetracycline.

Usually rice is milled and cooked before consumption. Consumers exhibit a varied preference for rice quality depending on their geographical location, culture and nature of culinary use. Therefore, achieving good grain quality in rice varieties has become extremely important for plant breeders. Rice grain quality is decided by physical traits, amylose, gelatinization temperature, alkali spread value, grain types, chalk and sensory evaluation. In the present study, 34 pollen donors and four CMS lines along with their 10 best heterotic cross combinations were analysed for cooking and other quality attributes. The analysis of variance indicated the presence of sufficient variability for cooking quality. Phenotypic and genotypic coefficient of variability, heritability (broad sense), and genetic advance was estimated. It was observed that gel consistency showed highest PCV, GCV, heritability and genetic advance. There is a considerable scope for selection of heterotic rice hybrids with desirable quality.","PeriodicalId":14249,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Pure & Applied Bioscience","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81416885","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}

Their deficiencies in humans lead to a variety of health-related problems. Iron and zinc biofortification of cereals is considered a cost-effective solution to overcome the malnutrition of these minerals. Biofortification aims at either increasing accumulation of these minerals in edible parts, endosperm, or to increase their bioavailability. Agronomic biofortification through fertilizer approaches could complement the existing breeding approach; for instance, foliar application of Zn fertilizer can increase grain Zn above the breeding target set by nutritionists. Iron and zinc fertilization management positively influence their accumulation in cereal grains. Regarding genetic strategies, quantitative genetic studies show the existence of ample variation for iron and zinc accumulation as well as inhibitors or promoters of their bioavailability in cereal grains. Genetically modified cereals developed by modulation of genes involved in iron and zinc homeostasis, or genes influencing bioavailability, have shown promising results. However, iron and zinc concentration were quantified in the whole grains during most of the studies, whereas a significant proportion of them is lost during milling. This makes it difficult to realistically assess the effectiveness of the different strategies. This review focuses on the common challenges and their possible solutions related to agronomic as well as genetic iron and zinc biofortification of cereals.","PeriodicalId":14249,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Pure & Applied Bioscience","volume":"121 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82668453","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}

Composition of waste water is variable from area to area and site to site. Waste water affects the physico-chemical properties of soils like hydraulic conductivity, infiltration rate, water retention, organic carbon. Waste water improves the status of available (N, P and K), micronutrients and microbial count. Waste water contains high amount of toxic heavy metals (Cd, Cr, Pb and Ni) which causes adverse effect on soil as well as plant. If the concentration of toxic metals is above than the permissible limits then this water is hazardous for humans and animals life.
