Yet, shoot borer susceptibility affects stem shape, while short seed viability and heterozygosity management are vital for quality. The innovative technique of mini-clonal propagation holds significant importance in tree improvement initiatives, especially for efficiently propagating superior genetic variants of the tree species on a larger scale. As Chukrasia tabularis is widely utilized for timber, effective methods for clone propagation become crucial. This newfound knowledge aids propagators, geneticists, and tree enhancement experts in optimizing propagation approaches, reducing costs, and improving root formation success. In this study the effects of varying concentrations of IBA (Indole-3-butyric acid), IAA (Indole-3-acetic acid), and NAA (Naphthaleneacetic Acid) powders (500 ppm, 1000 ppm, 1500 ppm, and 2000 ppm), alongside untreated cuttings as controls were investigated. Stem cuttings of 10-15 cm were immersed in these growth hormones before planting in 4 different rooting media (cocapith: perlite mixture, cocapith: perlite+ biochar, sand: soil and decomposed cocapith: perlite). The study discovered that treating Chukrasia tabularis stem cuttings with IBA at 1000 ppm before planting in the cocapith:perlite mixture significantly enhanced root development (74%) and survival rates (99%).","PeriodicalId":22936,"journal":{"name":"The Pharma Innovation","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135255585","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}

But Palmyra has a long juvenile period of 12-15 years and is difficult to segregate them before inflorescence. In the recent past, very few attempts had been made in the arena of molecular markers to distinguish the sex of palmyra and most of the work states that markers couldn’t be relied strongly or it fails to segregate them. Yet OPA-06 marker was found to be reliable sex discriminating marker. Thus this study focus on examining the reliability of four different markers including OPA-06, M1 & M2, F1 & F2, F3 & F4 in sex discrimination of palmyra from three different locations (Coimbatore, Ramnad, Viluppuram) of Tamil Nadu.

Since the past decade, the use of plant-based pesticides is becoming more popular and a lot of research is being done worldwide on the use of plant metabolites for protecting crops against various biotic factors. In tomatoes, a disease complex involving root-knot nematode, Meloidogyne incognita, and wilt fungus, Fusarium oxysporum is known to cause severe loss in yield. This study was conducted to develop an emulsion of mustard oil and evaluate it against M. incognita and F. oxysporum. Since Mustard oil has low water solubility, it was stabilized into emulsion using surfactants (Tween 80 & Span 80). Mustard oil emulsion thus obtained was tested against the Meloidogyne incognita and Fusarium oxysporum. At 4000ppm concentration, Mustard oil emulsion caused 100% mortality of M. incognita infective juveniles and completely inhibited the hatching of nematode eggs. In the Potato Dextrose Agar medium amended with the emulsion, a clear zone of F. oxysporum growth inhibition was observed indicating the fungicidal activity of mustard oil emulsion. Based on the present study it is concluded that Mustard oil emulsion has outstanding effects against Meloidogyne incognita and Fusarium oxysporum. Additional field studies using the developed emulsion will be a step forward in precision agriculture.","PeriodicalId":22936,"journal":{"name":"The Pharma Innovation","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135433818","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}

While a plethora of plant species hold potential for human consumption, the prevailing risk of health-related concerns has led to a decline in the diversity of species incorporated in diets. Recent studies underscore the imperative of enhancing the nutritional quality of gluten-free cereal-based products. As global populations increase, researchers continuously explore novel food sources to enhance diets and promote improved health. Current research is notably concentrated on the exploration of alternative crops and underutilized species with versatile applications. Pseudocereals have attracted interest because of their outstanding nutritional, phenolic, and phytochemical profiles, which place them as essential components for the development of gluten-free products. Additionally, the amino acid composition and nutritional attributes, including essential amino acid index, biological value, protein efficiency ratio, and nutritional index, of pseudocereals outshine those of traditional cereals like wheat, rice, and maize. Recent investigations highlight the various health benefits offered by phenolic compounds present in pseudocereals, such as combating oxidative stress, anti-cancer, anti-diabetic, anti-inflammatory, anti-hypertensive effects, and cardiovascular disease prevention. Commercializing pseudocereals holds potential to address diverse health-related concerns, while the availability of appealing gluten-free products made from pseudocereals contributes to meeting nutritional requirements for individuals with celiac disease.
