Among the three main rusts affecting wheat, yellow rust, caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici, and Stem rust caused by Puccinia graminis f. sp tritici are the most important disease in most wheat growing areas of Ethiopia. There are a limited number of resistant varieties available and new pathotypes that overcome the most widely deployed genes have arisen. The development of improved varieties of bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) has always remained a focal point for wheat breeders. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to select genotypes with good agronomic performance that have high grain yield and yield component with better rust resistance especially for stripe and stem rusts which are the major diseases in Ethiopia and to recommend the best genotypes to be released as new varieties and as an initial material in breeding. Twenty-Eight genotypes with two checks were evaluated in consecutive two years. From the twenty-eight tested genotypes almost all genotypes except one (ETBW9589) showed higher grain yield than the two standard checks (Kingbird and Ogolcho). But for the case of both rust diseases as AUDPC and CI showed that tested genotypes were exhibited different reaction responses, if we see one genotypes as an example ETBW9578 had the highest grain yield and good for yellow rust but as AUDPC showed it is very susceptible reaction response for stem rust. Generally phenotypic variation was observed for infection types, level of severity and reaction response for both diseases of the 28 tested elite bread wheat genotypes and the two standard checks. Reaction response for stem rust exhibited from susceptible (S) to Moderately resistance-moderately susceptible (M) and from immunity (0) to moderately resistance (MR) for the yellow rust. Around nine genotypes had good performance for all parameters; for grain yield and yield components and also for both rust diseases. The results of current study indicated that the genotypes had diversity regarding resistance reaction, ranging from complete resistance to susceptible. Most of the evaluated genotypes exhibited moderate resistance (MR) to moderately susceptible (MS) reactions under high disease pressure.","PeriodicalId":92048,"journal":{"name":"International journal of bioorganic chemistry & molecular biology","volume":"42 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84249151","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}

The objective of this review were laboratory mineral soil analysis and soil mineral management in organic farming was to draw together all the available relevant research findings in order to develop the knowledge and expertise of organic advisers and thereby to improve soil management practice on organic farms. There are several methods available for measuring total N in soils, mineral N in soils and mineralization potential. Chemical extractions which aim to establish the pool of nitrogen to plants include the use of potassium salts, K2SO4 to extract inorganic and labile organic N pools. Soil P tests are commonly used to assess soil nutrient availability and to assist in fertilizer recommendations. Available K measured by ammonium nitrate gave a good indication of the plant available K in soil; crops showed a response to increasing available K and continued cropping caused a decline in the pool of available K in soil. Soil analysis based on chemical analysis is a snapshot of nutrient pools. It is normally reported in mg/l of soil. Soils are sampled and analysed and digital maps provided to the farmer. This then allows targeted use of inputs to correct nutrient deficiencies or acidity. While this is primarily used in conventional farming for fertiliser application it is now also being used increasingly in organic farming.","PeriodicalId":92048,"journal":{"name":"International journal of bioorganic chemistry & molecular biology","volume":"23 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76303685","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}

Methods: Aqueous and methanol extracts of C. lanatus seed were prepared using standard method. The phenolic contents of the plant extracts were determined using standard procedures. Results: Of the four phytochemicals quantified alkaloids were present in the highest amount, while phytate was completely ab-sent. The methanol extract had significantly higher total phenol, tannins, flavonoids, and proanthocyanidin contents, relative to the aqueous extract (p < 0.05). Conclusion: These results indicate that C. lanatus seed is a good source of phenolic compounds and could be used as a natural constituent of food and medicines.","PeriodicalId":92048,"journal":{"name":"International journal of bioorganic chemistry & molecular biology","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44931029","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}

Four varieties of rice samples (Narica 1, Marica 2, De-gold and Faro 44 were collected from Zabarmari and Bulamari agricultural locations for the determination of herbicide residues. Extraction and cleanup of the samples were carried out using standard analytical procedures. The levels of the studied herbicide residues were determined using Agilent 7890A GC/MS. From the results of the study, it was observed that paraquat and butachlor are the most dominant used herbicides in the study area due to their higher concentrations in the soil and rice samples. The concentrations of all the studied herbicides were significantly higher in the soil samples as compared to the rice samples. The concentrations of all the herbicides in the soil samples were observed to be higher at depth of 0-10cm, while the lowest concentrations were detected at the depth of 20-30 cm. The study clearly indicates that some of the studied herbicide residues in the rice samples were significantly higher than the WHO and FAO maximum residue limits (MRLs) and acceptable daily intake values (ADIs). Hence, this high values of residues of herbicide call for strict vigilance and constant monitoring in other to protect further contamination of the cultivated rice by herbicides.","PeriodicalId":92048,"journal":{"name":"International journal of bioorganic chemistry & molecular biology","volume":"23 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81198071","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}

There was decrease in pH with increase in TTA as the fermentation time progresses. The result of the proximate analysis revealed a marginal increase in percentage protein content for fermented sorghum sample (7.89 to 11.50%). There was increase in moisture content and decrease in carbohydrate, ash content and fat contents of the fermented sorghum sample. Results from this research also showed significant reduction in anti-nutritional content which are tannin and phytate.
