The paper presents an overview of the floristic survey of aquatic ornamental plants carried out during the year 2012–2014 in the Kole wetland ecosystem of Kerala. The study aimed at exploring and documenting the ornamental plant wealth of this area, which still remains unknown. The investigation on the availability and abundance of ornamental plants in the Ponnani Kole revealed the presence of 32 species under 24 genera and 19 families. In the present analysis of Kole wetland flora, members of the family Scrophulariaceae were predominant followed by Lentibulariaceae and Hydrocharitaceae. Nymphaea nouchali, Nymphaea pubescence, Myriophyllum oliganthum, Nymphoides indica, Nymphoides crystatum, Bacopa monnieri, Limnophila heterophylla, Limnophila repens, Utricularia aurea, Utricularia exoleata, Alternanthera philoxeroides, Hydrilla verticillata, Vallisneria natans Eichhornia crassipes, Hygroryza aristata, Najas graminea Marsilea quadrifolia and Ceratopteris thalictroides are frequent in all seasons in the study area. The abundance of these plants in the Kole wetlands has been worked out with a view to develop harvest strategies and suggest management measures. The increased popularity of water gardening and aquarium planting in turn augment the harvest of the freshwater plants which may result in depletion of these resources. Therefore, population of these plant species needs to be maintained in-situ by adopting structured cultivation techniques and suitable conservation methods. Kole wetlands are not only important in terms of making the ecological system available for a variety of animals and maintaining the micro-climate of the region, but also for providing useful resources for livelihood, healthcare and aesthetic interest.","PeriodicalId":231568,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Functional and Environmental Botany","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115762059","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}

(Hemiptera: Pyrrhocoridae) is a serious destructive pest of a large number of economically important crops including cotton. Being pest of many important crops, the present study was intended to investigate the comparative survivability, developmental rates, weight gain and reproductive potential of D. koenigii on five different host plant species, namely, okra (Abelmoschus esculentus), ground nut (Arachis hypogaea) yellow corn, (Zea mays) castor (Ricinus communis) and cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) under laboratory conditions. Maximum nymphal survivability, high nymphal weight, maximum egg production and egg hatching as well as shortest nymphal duration were observed on cotton as compared to okra, ground nut and yellow corn; however, castor was recorded as very poor host plant that could not support the survival and development of D. koenigii beyond 3rd instar. The adults emerged from the cotton and okra fed nymphs mates 3–4 times in their total life span, whereas only 1–2 time mating was observed in those adults that emerged from ground nut and yellow cord-fed nymphs. On the basis of nymphal and adult survivability, weight gain, egg production, egg hatching and longevity, the cotton (G. hirsutum) was regarded as a best host plant followed by okra (A. esculentus), ground nut (A. hypogaea) and yellow corn (Z. mays). The knowledge obtained during this study regarding food preference of D. koenigii may help in devising IPM strategies in cotton fields adjacent to or near vegetative fields containing alternative host plant.","PeriodicalId":231568,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Functional and Environmental Botany","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122064306","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}

Merrill), during accelerated aeging. During the aeging period some physiological (percent germination, seedling vigour index and germination index) and biochemical (electrical conductivity, malonaldehyde content, total soluble sugars, total soluble proteins, peroxidase and dehydrogenase activity) changes were also observed in relation to seed vigour and viability in fresh and aged soybean seeds. Results showed an overall decrease in germination, vigour, soluble sugars and soluble protein content with increase in ageing duration. Increased activity of lipid peroxidation and electrical conductivity coupled with significant reduction in activities of peroxidase and dehydrogenase were noticed in accelerated aged seeds. Alterations in protein and isozymes profiles in aged seeds compared to fresh seeds indicated that the loss in seeds quality might be due to the adverse effect of ageing on proteins. The electrophoretic variations in protein and isozymes noticed in this study could be used as a criterion in assessing the quality of soybean.","PeriodicalId":231568,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Functional and Environmental Botany","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132602923","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}
