Nutrient content in tasar host plant foliage is one of the important factors for sustainability of tasar silkworm, Antheraea mylitta D. Various sericigenous flora is abundantly found in the forests of tropical belt in India for its survivability. An investigation on nutrient dynamics of primary tasar host plants was carried out to understand the sustainability of wild tasar ecoraces on these host plants. Leaf analysis of primary tasar host plants viz. Terminalia arjuna (Arjun), Terminalia tomentosa (Asan) and Shorea robusta (Sal) by following digestion method and using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer reveals the fact that there are remarkable differences in intra and inter nutrient contents in the foliage of host plants of Sal and Arjun-Asan. Average nutrient contents viz. N, Fe, Zn and Mn were found more in Sal with significant value of difference in case of Mn ((t-test significance at less than 0.01%) than compared to Asan and Arjun whereas contents viz. K, P, Mg & Cu were found less or with no significant difference. On the basis of chemical analysis of 550 leaf samples of different status and different nutrient level in leaves of primary tasar host plants, it was inferred that survivability and sustainability of all wild eco-races of tasar silkworm depends on the suitable range of nutrient dynamics of its host plant. Concentration of nutrients in plant associated with plant itself was found influenced with plant part, age, leaf position on shoot and type of shoot. Content of Mn in leaf of Shorea robusta found greatly varied within the plant with difference in the height and position of the leaf. Toxic level of manganese content was found in leaves of lower position and lower twigs of the Sal plant whereas the level of this element in leaves of upper twigs and in top position of Sal tree was found in suitable and safe range for tasar silkworm. Tall Sal tree is known to be the origin of all wild eco-races of tasar as it fits both biotic and abiotic factors for tasar silkworm. When tall Sal trees are cut, coppice and dwarf Sal plant develop which does not fit for safe range of essential nutrient content of manganese for tasar insect. Manganese content in leaf of coppice Sal plant of tender, medium and mature was found as 1315.25±123.09, 1560 ± 167.46 and 1923.17±318.01 respectively whereas it was found as 382.25±37.92, 612.42± 51.38 and 712.08±84.00 in tender, medium and mature leaf of tall Sal tree. Mn content in leaf having different maturity level of other two primary tasar host plants, Arjun and Asan was found in the range of 41 ppm to 105 ppm only. Manganese concentration in leaf of coppice plants of Shorea robusta was found in much higher level than compared to other two primary tasar host plants, Terminalia tomentosa and Terminalia. arjuna.

A well-known, nutrient-rich, multipurpose food, pumpkin has recently provided scientists with new avenues for research. In addition to proteins, carbohydrates, polyunsaturated fatty acids, monounsaturated fatty acids, amino acids, minerals, and a variety of phytochemicals, the pumpkin fruit, comprising the flesh, seed, and peel, is a rich source of primary and secondary metabolites. Raw pumpkin seeds may have a compromised flavor, color, as well as digestibility. Therefore, the objective of the present study is to assess the influence of roasting (160°C for 10 min) and germination on the nutritional profile, mineral content and amino acid content of pumpkin seeds. Our results indicated that fibre and protein content was increased in the processing methods i.e., roasting and germination. In the meantime, the content of minerals changed after roasting and germination and revealed significant increase at (p<0.05) in potassium and phosphorus and after germination calcium, magnesium and iron were also increased. Results obtained from processed pumpkin seeds further revealed that the essential and non-essential amino-acid content of germinated pumpkin seeds were increased when compared to raw and roasted pumpkin seeds. Processed pumpkin seeds had significant mineral content and excellent amino acid content. It can be concluded that subjecting pumpkin seeds to various processing methods enhanced its nutritional value and opened up potential uses for them in the food sector.

Germplasm collection of 145 accessions of barnyard millet were evaluated for fifteen quantitative traits to study the genetic divergence. Among them, high yield along with earliness was seen in GB 6, GB 10 and GB 12. PCGB 41 was high yielding with earliness coupled with high Fe and Zn. GB 30, GB 35, PCGB 2 showed significant performance for high yield and Zn content. GB 41, GB 46, PCGB 1, PCGB 3, PCGB 5, PCGB 6, PCGB 9, PCGB 13 and PCGB 16 showed high Fe content and grain yield. D Cluster analysis suggested composition of 145 genotypes into 24 clusters. Cluster I had a maximum of ninety six genotypes, followed by Cluster XVIII with nine genotypes, Cluster XVI with seven genotypes and Cluster XI, XX, XXIII with five genotypes each. The inter cluster distances varied from 15.46(between cluster II and V) to 246.21(between cluster XII and XX). Inter crossing between the accessions of cluster VII, X, XI, XX and XIX in all possible combinations would exhibit high heterosis and also generate a broad spectrum of variability for effective selection in the segregating generations for development of high yielding cultivars with increased Fe and Zn content in the grain. Out of 25 SSR markers used in this study 24 markers produced clear, scorable and polymorphic marker profile and were used for the further analysis. The PIC values ranged from 0.50 (p88) to 0.95 (b 126) with an average of 0.70. SSR markers used in this study were highly informative and polymorphic.

India ranks seventh in grape production at the global level. Tamil Nadu is one of the leading states in grape cultivation in India. The utilization of rootstock has become a priority aspect in grapes cultivation worldwide, especially in the current climatic conditions. The utilization of grape root stocks has not been completely explored yet in Tamil Nadu. In this regard, we compared the growth and yield parameters of grape (Vitis vinifera) var. ‘‘Muscat Hamburg’’ grafted on ‘Dog Ridge’ (Vitis champini) and self-rooted cuttings(of ‘‘Muscat Hamburg’’) under Cumbum valley condition, Theni district, Tamil Nadu, India. Randomly, fifty vines were chosen, each in grafted and self-rooted cutting category. ‘Muscat Hamburg’ is a wide variety in Cumbum valley of Theni district. The growth and yield characters were recorded. The petiole nutrient content for major elements during the flowering phase was analyzed. The growth characters viz., trunk diameter (42.46 mm), cane diameter (5.70 mm), number of fruitful shoots per cane (1.37), shoot length after pruning (42.52 cm), and leaf area (108.16 cm) were recorded maximum in ‘Muscat Hamburg’ grafted on ‘Dog Ridge’ rootstock. The grafted ‘Muscat Hamburg’on ‘Dog Ridge’ showed the highest berry weight (3.67 g),and the number of clusters per shoot (1.46).The yield characters, viz., the fruitfulness characters, such as the number of fruitful shoots per cane (1.37) was recorded better in ‘Muscat Hamburg’ grafted on ‘Dog Ridge’ rootstock. The total number of berries per bunch (87.00), and yield per vine (21.87 kg/vine) were recorded as the highest in grafted vines. Obviously, when berry weight was the highest in grafted type, it reflected in bunch weight (276.74 g) with a maximum amount than self-rooted. The petiole nutrient contents were also found to be higher in grafted ones than in self-rooted cuttings. Overall, the use of ‘Dog Ridge’ as rootstock for grape variety ‘Muscat Hamburg’ was found promising to set enhanced vegetative growth, berry characters, and yield of the bunch than self-rooted cutting.

For a well-balanced diet, vegetables are considered as essential source of minerals, vitamins, dietary fiber and phytochemicals. A unique combination and amount of these vitamins and minerals are present in different vegetables, which make them separate from each other. Vegetables have a strong association in improving the gastrointestinal health, vision, chronic diseases and varioustypes of cancer. Vegetables being rich in antioxidants are involved in our daily diet. A balanced diet contributes to solve many nutrition related problems and different vegetables offer distinct level of protection to humans against diseases. Now-a-days, the focus is not only on the quantity but also on the quality of vegetable products, which further coincides with the consumer demand for healthy produce. An individual must includes a diverse type of vegetable in diet to get a combination of phytonutraceuticals to lead a healthy life. This article goes through a review and discuss about the nutritive value and health benefits with respect to vegetables.

A unique combination and amount of these vitamins and minerals are present in different vegetables, which make them separate from each other. Vegetables have a strong association in improving the gastrointestinal health, vision, chronic diseases and varioustypes of cancer. Vegetables being rich in antioxidants are involved in our daily diet. A balanced diet contributes to solve many nutrition related problems and different vegetables offer distinct level of protection to humans against diseases. Now-a-days, the focus is not only on the quantity but also on the quality of vegetable products, which further coincides with the consumer demand for healthy produce. An individual must includes a diverse type of vegetable in diet to get a combination of phytonutraceuticals to lead a healthy life. This article goes through a review and discuss about the nutritive value and health benefits with respect to vegetables.

A field experiment was conducted at Faculty of Agriculture, RKDF University Bhopal (M.P.) during Kharif 2020-21 to study the effect of Integrated Nutrient Management on growth, yield and chemical properties of soybean. Eight treatments comprising of T1Control, T2-50% Recommended Dose of NPK, T3-100% Recommended Dose of NPK, T4-100% Vermicompost, T5-100% Farm Yard Manure, T6-50% Recommended Dose of NPK+ 50% Vermicompost, T7-50% Recommended Dose of NPK + 50% Farm Yard Manure and T8-50% Farm Yard Manure+ 50% Vermicompost, were evaluated in Randomized Block Design with three replications. Different observations on the crop parameters were carried out during the course of investigation. Growth parameters viz., plant height (cm), branches/plant, chlorophyll content of leaf, root length (cm)/plant, root nodules/plant, dry weight (g)/plant Yield attributing traits viz., pods/plant, seeds/pod and seed index were recorded treatment wise at the time of harvesting. Harvest index and economic viability of treatments were done from data generated. Data pertaining to various parameters were tabulated and subjected to statistical analysis for interpretation of results. After the investigation T4100% vermicompost was found superior. All the growth Parameters, yield attributing characters and yield of soybean were found significantly superior under 100% vermicompost, While, minimum under T1.

Manufacturing metal oxide nanoparticles for chemical and biomedical applications is made possible by green synthesis, an eco-friendly approach. This investigation examined how silver nanoparticle leaf extract affected gene expression and its ability to treat diabetes. In this study, the Anti-diabetic study was evaluated by following the Glucose utilization control method. Furthermore, the study continues with Quantitative Real Time-PCR Analysis of the INSR Gene. The analysis's findings showed that, when used as a control, metformin exhibits a glucose percentage of 169.26, whereas silver nanoparticle extracts exhibit a percentage control of 169.53. HepG2 cells treated with AgNPs C.cuspidtus showed upregulated INSR gene expression, going from 1-fold in control cells to 1.51-fold in treated cells. The relative gene expression of the control is typically set to 1 when compared to the sample. The study shows that glucose absorption in AgNPs extract is slightly higher than in methanolic extract. As a result, there is a pressing mandate to protect this species and investigate its biological applications to achieve more significant and worthwhile outcomes.

Water pollution is a major problem in India and most of the major rivers of the country are heavily polluted by different types of pollutants and invite the growth of various organisms including microalgae. The aim of the present investigation was to explore the biodiversity of the Blue-green algae from different polluted habitats of Meerut, Uttar Pradesh, India. The present paper deals with the diversity of non-heterocystous filamentous taxa of the family Pseudanabaenaceae. Water samples collected from three different polluted water reservoirs of Meerut, U.P., India were subjected to microscopic observations and identification. The present study revealed the occurrence of total 45 strains of 15 species and 8 genera belonging to three sub families including Pseudanabaenoideae, Spirulinoideae and Leptolyngbyoideae of the family Pseudanabaenaceae viz. Geitlerinema lemmermannii, G. nematode, Jaaginema gracile Leptolyngbya aspera, L. foveolarum, L. geysericola, L. gracilis, L. mycoidea; Limnothrix planctonica, Planktolyngbya contorta, Pseudanabaena limnetica, P. minima, P. Recta, Romeria mexicana and Spirulina subsalsa. The study also revealed the unexplored diversity of non-heterocystous filamentous blue green algae from three polluted water reservoirs of Meerut, U.P., India.
