Therefore, this study utilized polyethylene glycol (PEG-6000) to induce drought stress towards selection of drought tolerance mungbean varieties in their early vegetative growth stage using both hydroponics and soil based systems. In this study, leaf wilting index and responses of biochemical molecules were used as the basic factors to determine the effect of PEG-induced drought stress among the mungbean varieties. Prior to the imposition of drought stress, germination potentials of the varieties were evaluated and all had germination = 60%. Except for Tvr29 and Tvr44, hydroponic system revealed that = 80% of the varieties had = 1 of their leaves significantly (P = 0.05) wilted. The highest LWI were recorded for Tvr49 and Tvr79. Re-evaluation of Tvr29, Tvr44, Tvr49 and Tvr79 using soil, shows that Tvr29 and TVr44 resisted drought stress. The hydrogen peroxide, superoxide radical and malondialdehyde contents decreased in TVr29 and Tvr44, and increased in Tvr49 and Tvr79 in comparison to the control. Tvr29 and Tvr44 had high proline content than Tvr49 and Tvr79. Based on LWI and biochemical molecules, this study revealed that Tvr29 and Tvr44 should be utilized where water deficit is a challenge to mungbean globally.","PeriodicalId":16754,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Plant Development","volume":"90 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"70909505","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}

Fumonisin B1 induced cell death in both Fusarium head blight (FHB) resistant and FHB susceptible cultivars (Frontana and Roblin, respectively). The treatment also triggered DNA smearing in both.

This paper gives information, assessment and screening about the effect of motor work shop waste water on seedling growth of two different types of legume bean crops namely, kidney bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) and mung bean (Vigna radiata (L.) R. Wilkczek) in pot culture experiments. The results showed that the increase in treatment of 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% of motor workshop waste water decreased the root, seedling length, number of leaflets, shoot, leaves dry weight and root/shoot ratio of common bean as compared to control. The waste water treatment of 25% significantly (p<0.05) decreased root growth performance and leaves dry weight of common bean as compared to control. The treatment of polluted water produced beneficial and harmful effects on root, shoot length, seedling size, number of leaves, leaf area and biomass production of mung bean. The treatment of waste water at 25% significantly (p<0.05) decreased shoot length, leaf area, shoot dry weight, specific leaf area and leaf area ratio as compared to control. Increase in concentrations of polluted water at 50% significantly effects seedling length, specific leaf area and leaf rea ratio of polluted water on mung bean. The seedlings of P. vulgaris and V. radiata tested different percentage of tolerance to waste water treatment and found high in control treatment. The results showed that seedlings of P. vulgaris showed lowest (32.59%) percentage of tolerance to high concentration (100%) of polluted waste water treatment of workshop. The treatment of polluted water at 25, 50, 75 and 100% decreased the tolerance indices values in seedlings of V. radiata by 104.35, 83.37, 67.63 and 63.16 percent as compared to control. The decrease in seedling growth of growth parameter of P. vulgaris in this study revealed that it was might be due to abiotic stress produced by waste water.

The anatomical observations concerned the organization of the stem, petiole, and leaf lamina, using sets of cross-sectional and paradermal sections, treated with identification substances (IIK) and differential and successive stains (Iodine Green and Carmine Alum). Structural characteristics have been investigated under optical microscopy and documented through original photographic images and a set of dimensional data, data which are only partially found in the specialised literature.
