Roselle (Hibiscus subdariffa L.) has been used in number of dishes, beverages and conventional remedy of diseases for centuries. It is popular for its edible fleshy calyces and leaves that are used for making salads, tea, juices, jams, jellies, icecreams and many other products. In many countries of the world fresh calyces of roselle are harvested to produce pro health drink due to its high vitamin C and anthocyanins contents. But in bangaladesh roselle leaves and calyces are used as vegetables and its fibre is used as jute substitute. Roselle is also famous for its high nutritional and medicinal values. Nutritional analysis of calyces of roselle showed that they are high in calcium, iron, niacin, and riboflavin. It is also a source of antioxidants, anthocyanins which acts as free radical scavengers and inhibit lipid per-oxidation. Roselle is a multipurpose crop and has great potential to increase the income of farmers, producers, processors by fetching high market price both from export and local market.

The study involved the stability analysis of the parents and hybrids, using line x tester mating design. Twenty four hybrids along with their ten parents and checks ((SSG 59-3 and MFSH 4)) were evaluated at two locations with two dates of sowing (Early and late sowing) during the kharif season of 2015-16 for quality traits. Data on different qualiitative characters at first cut (55 days after sowing) and second cut (45 days after first cut) were recorded. Stable hybrids are desirable for commercial exploitation over a wide range of agro-climatic conditions. It is clear that mean sum of squares due to genotypes for all the characters were highly significant when tested against pooled deviation, which revealed that the hybrids had significant differences in response to varying environmental conditions. Five hybrids were found to have both bi and ¯Sdi2 significant, indicating the presence of both linear and non-linear components of G × E interaction for protein content. Hybrids 56A × IS 2389 was found stable, average responsive and suitable for all the test environments for IVDMD. The cross combination of 14A × HJ 513, 31A × HJ 541 and 14A × IS 2389 were found stable, average responsive and suitable for all the test environments for HCN content. On the otherhand, hybrids 465A × G 46 and 465A × IS 2389 and parent G 46 were found highly responsive and suitable for the favourable environments. Therefore, these hybrids can be utilized in further genetic study in future in plant breeding.

Being economically important for natural fiber, seed cotton and protein, cotton demand is increasing rapidly. With the ever-growing population, there is an ultimate need to increase the cotton production to meet this demand of man and livestock. Different Flavonoids, which are compounds that have antioxidant properties, serve an essential role in sustaining plant function and health. Flavonoids operate largely as photo protectors and phytoalexins, influencing the phytohormone auxin transport that affects the plant structure. Cotton production is also linked to the flavonoids as they play a great role in plant protection and vigor. Flavonoids play a critical role in response to abiotic stress. Leaf reddening in cotton and fungal infection resistance is attributed the flavonoids. Flavonoids also take part in the development of fiber and its color, maintenance of plant health and it’s defensive mechanism. With an increasing interest in the biological functions of flavonoids as well as advancements in isolation and classification techniques over the last two decades, the numerous flavonoids known in the cotton plant have risen dramatically. The capacity to regulate flavonoid expression in plants offers a chance to change defense mechanisms and growth. Genetic engineering techniques offer different methods that improves certain characteristics of cotton to further boost its output. This study aims to summarize existing findings on the prevalence and dispersal of flavonoids in cotton as well as to examine the historical research on flavonoids in cotton as well as potential paths for future research on this plant species. This review enlists the flavonoid profile studied by many scientists in the past and their distribution in cotton plant which consist of 52 flavonoids divided into 7 groups.

Fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (Diptera:Lepidoptera) is a destructive pest of agricultural crops especially maize in many countries including Pakistan. The environmental factors like temperature play significant role in the growth and development of insect pests. It is very important to know the proper knowledge about effect of temperature on the development of Spodoptera frugiperda before managing this pest. For this purpose, the current study was conducted to check the effect of temperature (20 and 26◦C) on the life cycle of S. frugiperda under laboratory conditions. The results showed that the developmental times of all stages (eggs, larvae and pupae) were inversely related to temperature. The incubation period of eggs was 4.01±0.00b and 2.00±0.00b at 20 and 26◦C, respectively. The development time of first, second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth larval instar was 3.51±0.10b, 3.04±0.15b, 2.33±0.10b, 2.97±0.14b, 3.45±0.19b and 4.99± 0.22b, respectively at 20◦C while 2.77±0.13c, 2.89±0.20bc, 2.09±0.12bc, 2.22±0.17bc, 2.90±0.23c and 3.56±0.19b, respectively at 26◦C. The time of growth and development was increased at low temperature while reduced at high temperature. The food consumption rate and molting period of larvae can increase at high temperature for complete their growth and development. The current study concluded that environmental factors like temperature are highly effect the insect pests morphology and biology.

Shan-i-Punjab at different concentrations. The experiment was conducted in randomized block design (RBD) with three replications having one tree per replication. The treatments were applied as foliar spray in the end of March. The maximum fruit weight (83.54g) and fruit length (62.8 mm) was recorded in KNO3 (3%), closely followed by KNO3 (2%) i.e. (81.27 g and 62.20 mm) respectively, Foliar spray of KNO3 (2%) resulted into maximum fruit diameter (62.40 mm) as compared to all other treatments. Maximum shape index (1.06) was observed with foliar spray of KH2PO4 (2%). The physical quality of fruits with respect to stone weight, pulp weight, pulp stone ratio and pulp thickness was found maximum with foliar spray of KNO3 @ 3.0% i.e. (9.32g, 74.22g, 7.96 and 1.93 mm) respectively, Minimum fruit firmness and fruit acidity was observed in foliar spray of K2SO4 (2%) i.e. (6.96 kg/cm2 and 0.89%) respectively, while foliar spray of K2SO4 @ 1.5% resulted into maximum mean TSS i.e. (8.20%). High skin color was observed with foliar spray of K2SO4 (1.5 and 2.0%). Foliar spray of KNO3 at (2.0 and 3.0%) resulted into mean fruit ascorbic acid (9.32 mg/100 g fruit pulp).
