Review of literature indicated the role of Tamm-Horsfall protein (THP) is associated with the physiological events around the estrus stage. Hence, the present study was aimed to quantify the expression level of THP in urine of buffaloes to ascertain its suitability as a marker for identifying buffaloes in estrus. Methods: The grouping of animals as mid-diestrus (Group-I/G-I/Control group), regular estrus (Group-II/G-II) and silent estrus (Group-III/G-III) buffaloes was done using a combinatorial approach. The expression of THP in the urine of three groups of animals was quantified by western blot. Result: The results of the present study revealed higher levels of urinary THP in G-II animals when compared to G-III and G-I animals, although it was statistically non-significant (p greater than 0.05). The present study revealing for increased urinary expression of THP in G-II and G-III animals when compared to G-I animals probably construes the antimicrobial role of THP in the female reproductive tract and its role during estrus to prevent microbiota population beyond the physiological levels. For THP to be considered as biomarker for detecting buffaloes in silent heat there is need for further studies involving large number of animals. Nonetheless, an easy method has been developed that facilitated THP detection and quantification in urine of buffaloes by western blot.","PeriodicalId":7599,"journal":{"name":"Agricultural Science Digest – A Research Journal","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135200134","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}

Under wet direct seeded condition, only limited availability of rice genotypes are suitable for anaerobic germination. So, there is an urgent need to identify rice genotypes for enhanced germination even under anoxic stress. Methods: Experiment was conducted in glass house, Department of Crop Physiology, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore. In this study, 22 rice germplams with three replications were evaluated for seed and seedling traits underlying anaerobic germination tolerance. Main aim of this study is to explore the starch and sugar relation under anoxic stress and identifying tolerant genotypes for direct seeded rice cultivation. Result: Tolerant genotypes had early emergences, higher shoot and root length along with higher starch degradation and sugar accumulation under waterlogged condition. Cluster analysis revealed that Karuppukavuni, Kalanamak, CBMAS 14065 and Kodavilayan were identified as tolerant genotypes and suitable for wet direct seeded rice cultivation. Finally higher starch degradation coupled with higher accumulation of glucose and fructose were the key traits underlying anaerobic germination tolerance in tolerant genoytpes. Shoot length, root length and sucrose contents had higher genotypic coefficient of variance, phenotypic coefficient of variance coupled with high heritability indicating scope for enhancing anaerobic germination tolerance.","PeriodicalId":7599,"journal":{"name":"Agricultural Science Digest – A Research Journal","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135245741","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}

This study was conducted to determine the growth pattern and physiological response of Japanese quails to administration of aqueous solution of egg lime molasses mixture (ELM). Methods: ELM was prepared by placing fresh eggs in a bowl after which 1 liter of lime juice and 500 g of molasses were added and left for 10 days at temperature of 27°C and relative humidity of 61%. The entire solution was then blended together. Two hundred day old Japanese quails were assigned to five treatments (4 replicates/treatment) with forty birds in a completely randomized design (CRD). The control (T1) having no administration of ELM, T2 had an inclusion level of 10 ml, T3: 20 ml, T4: 30 ml and T5: 40 ml ELM all into 500 ml of water. Feed and water were offered ad libitum. The study was carried out for 49 days. Data were collected on growth, morphometrics and key physiology parameters. Data were subjected to descriptive statistics and Analysis of Variance using SPSS Version 22. Result: Significant difference (p less than 0.05) was observed only for feed conversion ratio at the starter phase, however, birds administered 20 ml ELM/500 ml of water had the best FCR. Significant differences (p less than 0.05) were observed for live weight and weight gain at the finisher phase. Significant differences (p less than 0.05) were observed in body morphometrics with birds administered 20 ml/500 ml of water having the highest values. There were significant differences (p less than 0.05) in rectal temperature and respiratory rate at the starter phase while at the finisher phase, significant difference (p less than 0.05) was only observed in rectal temperature. It can be concluded from this study that aqueous administration of egg lime molasses solution in the diet of Japanese quails has no detrimental effect on the growth pattern and physiological response.","PeriodicalId":7599,"journal":{"name":"Agricultural Science Digest – A Research Journal","volume":"86 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135344435","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}

It is not humifiable and turns into a significant environmental pollutant if not properly utilized. Rice husk contains silica nanoparticles, which is a major inorganic component. High purity amorphous silica nanoparticles can thus be produced using simple thermo-chemical procedures without polluting the environment by cutting out the release of carbon dioxide during the process. Methods: A study was carried out to extract amorphous silica nanoparticles from rice husk ash using an environmentally benign chemical process. Utilising a variety of material characterization techniques viz., X-ray diffraction (XRD), fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and Particle size analyser (PSA), the extracted nanoparticles properties were confirmed. Result: The amorphous behaviour of the silica sample was confirmed using transmission electron microscopy-selected area electron diffraction patterns and X-ray diffraction analyses, whilst siloxane and silanol groups were primarily discovered using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. Images obtained using scanning electron and transmission electron microscopy showed initial nanoparticles to be present along with secondary microparticles, possibly as a result of their agglomeration. The extracted amorphous silica has particles with an average diameter of 35 nm.

Using nitrogen with different levels of doses has been shown to increase photosynthesis, dry matter accumulation and seed yield in rice plants. Therefore, this study was conducted to evaluate the effects of nitrogen fertilization on grain yield, bran/rice ratio and the quality of bran, such as lipid and γ-oryzanol content. Methods: The experiment was conducted during 2021-2022 inside a net house. The experiment was arranged in a completely randomized design (RCD) with five replications for three nitrogen levels and two rice varieties. The rice grains from each cluster were milled to collect bran samples for yield, embryo, aleurone, lipid and g-oryzanol content analysis. Result: The rice bran ratio and quality (lipid and γ-oryzanol content) of the Ja35 variety were higher than those of the Ja23 variety at all fertilizer levels. Increasing the nitrogen fertilizer did not increase the rice bran ratio but improved the quality of the rice bran. Therefore, increasing the nitrogen fertilizer level is necessary to increase the rice bran ratio and quality of the rice bran for rice varieties with larger aleurone.","PeriodicalId":7599,"journal":{"name":"Agricultural Science Digest – A Research Journal","volume":"69 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135536619","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}

A variety of factors, including soil pH, organic matter content, and the abundance of particular minerals that interact with nutrient dynamics, affect the availability of essential nutrients in the soil. Acidic soil conditions frequently cause lower nutrient availability as a result of influencing factors like increased manganese and aluminium toxicity as well as lesser microbial activity. Soil acidification can impact agricultural productivity. For the creation of efficient and long-lasting soil management techniques that can ease nutrient constraints and boost agricultural productivity, it is essential to comprehend the impact of molybdenum on the dynamics of soil macronutrients and micronutrients in acid soils. Methods: A 60 days incubation experiment was carried out under laboratory conditions to study the effect of molybdenum fertilization on the release pattern of molybdenum and other nutrients from the soil. Soil samples were filled in jars, and treatments were imposed. Samples were collected at 15, 30, 45, and 60 days of incubation, dried, and processed for available nitrogen, phosphorus, and DTPA extractable micronutrients. Results: Molybdenum addition showed a significant influence on the release of various nutrients present in the soil. It was also observed that molybdenum has a synergistic effect on available nitrogen and phosphorus, while it exhibited antagonism towards DTPA extractable micronutrients, namely Zn, Fe, Mn, and Cu. Molybdenum fertilization holds great promise for enhancing the macronutrients' availability and reducing the toxicity of micronutrients in acid soils. It will be helpful for sustainable agricultural production under acidic soil.","PeriodicalId":7599,"journal":{"name":"Agricultural Science Digest – A Research Journal","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135827691","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}
