This study was conducted with the aim of isolating endophytic fungi from some xerophyte plants. In this study, three fungi were isolated from the internal tissues of some plants spread in the city of Basrah, Xenomyrothecium tongaense from the stem of Suaeda aegyptiace, Chaetomium megalocarpum from the roots, stem and leaves of Caroxylon jordanicola and Cephaliophora irregularis from the leaves of Cressa cretica. Fungus was identified based on its morphological features and molecular based on the amplification of the ITS gene region and the nucleolide sequence of the fungi was deposited in the genebank under accession number NR-154511.1, KT371335.1 and OM245865.1 for fungi Xenomyrothecium tongaense, Chaetomium megalocarpum and Cephaliophora irregularis, respectively. This is the first study in which these fungi are isolated from desert in Iraq.

The study aimed to find an accurate propagation program for the rootstock of peach Prunus persica cv. Garnem. The apical shoots and nodes of this rootstock were used as explants for the stages of initiation and multiplication, and they were planted on MS medium after adding different concentrations of Active Charcoal (AC), Polyvinyl Pyrrolidone (PVP), and Benzyl adenine (BA). The shoots were planted for the purpose of rooting on MS medium containing different concentrations of salts (1/4 MS, 1/2 MS and full MS salts) with different concentrations of IBA. In the establishment phase, the apical shoots grown on medium supplied with AC were given the highest response rate, the highest average length of plantlet, and the highest number of leaves. The best multiplication of explants in terms of the number of shoots and their length were obtained when cultivated on a medium supplemented with BA at 1 and 2 mg.L-1, whereas the application of BA at 1 mg. L-1 to the cultivated nodes gave the highest number of leaves. The best rooting percent was obtained when plantlets were s treated with 2 mg. L-1 was applied to 1/4 MS medium. The highest number of roots was obtained from plantlets grown in 1/2 MS medium treated with IBA at 3 mg.L-1, whereas the longest root was obtained from plantlets grown in 1/2 MS medium treated with 1 mg.L-1IBA.

The study was conducted in the Molecular Biology Laboratory - Department of Plant Protection - Faculty of Agriculture - University of Kufa during 2020-2021 to evaluate the possibility of producing a biocide from Bacillus spp. B. firmus, B. cereus. and B. simplex. The results of manufacturing bionematicide from these bacteria showed that the three species did not differ in their growth on the same compost medium (palm fronds, rice residues, wheat residues), while the growth of each Bacillus spp. differed from other species on different culture media. The palm frond medium, regardless of the type of bacteria, was the least favorable and did not support many bacterial populations, and allowed no more than 83*108 CFU. Whereas the bacterial colonies ranged from 219*108 CFU to 254*108 CFU on fermented wheat residues, with a slight difference from rice residues, which led to bacterial colonies of 198*108 CFU to 214*108 CFU. In the case of carriers used for the biocide, preparation using sand was always better than with calcium sulfate. The effect of packing materials (plastic bags, paper bags, or plastic containers) on the efficiency and vitality of bacteria in the biocide content was also evaluated. It is noted that the highest bacterial colonies, which ranged from 267 to 253 *108 CFU, in the case of using plastic containers significantly differed from storing in paper bags (233-230*108 CFU) and plastic bags (235 -216 *108 CFU), after 15 days of storage in laboratory conditions. However, the viability and effectiveness of the prepared biocide decreased with the increase of storage periods to 30, 60, and 90 days, regardless of the type of bacteria.

Invasive whitefly species in coconut plantations have become a matter of concern in the last half a decade as they cause direct and indirect infestation on the palms. The Rugose spiralling whitefly (RSW), Aleurodicus rugioperculatus Martin infestation was high on Cocos nucifera L. (coconut) followed by Dypsis lutescens (H. Wendl.) (Butterfly palm) and Annona squamosa L. (custard apple). The coconut varieties Malayan Yellow Dwarf and Chowghat Orange Dwarf were observed with higher infestation index while that of West coast tall was the lowest. Higher RSW parasitization levels were observed on Musa paradisiaca L. (banana) and Canna indica L. (Indian shot), with 85.96 and 71.59% parasitization, respectively. Identification of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) between healthy and RSW-infested coconut plants revealed the emission of 56 VOCs from the healthy coconut plant and 47 VOCs from RSW infested plant. 22 VOCs were common in both samples, and 25 VOCs were unique to RSW-infested coconut plants. The presence of 42 VOCs was identified from the headspace extracts of RSW-infested bananas. Differences in the VOCs emitted from RSW-infested banana and coconut plants revealed higher emission of terpenoids like β-Caryophyllene, (E, Z)-2,6-dimethyl-2,4,6-Octatriene, Humulene, α-Pinene, Farnesane, α-Copaene and β-cis-Ocimene from RSW infested banana plants that proved to be more attractive to the parasitoid. Identifying specific blends of volatile compounds influencing Encarsia guadeloupae Viggiani could help to augment the parasitotic for RSW management in coconut plantations.

Differences in the VOCs emitted from RSW-infested banana and coconut plants revealed higher emission of terpenoids like β-Caryophyllene, (E, Z)-2,6-dimethyl-2,4,6-Octatriene, Humulene, α-Pinene, Farnesane, α-Copaene and β-cis-Ocimene from RSW infested banana plants that proved to be more attractive to the parasitoid. Identifying specific blends of volatile compounds influencing Encarsia guadeloupae Viggiani could help to augment the parasitotic for RSW management in coconut plantations.","PeriodicalId":254783,"journal":{"name":"Kufa Journal for Agricultural Sciences","volume":" 0","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138611115","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}

Limited land, environmental contamination, the loss of agricultural culture, and the inability to use ethnobotany all contribute to the health problems city dwellers face. These problems cause air pollution, lack of a good diet, loss of traditional knowledge, and underutilization of natural therapeutic plants. Ethnobotany and urban farming can create healthier cities by maintaining biodiversity, socially enhancing community involvement, and economically offering local business opportunities and sustainable food security. This study aims to investigate the perception of urban communities regarding the relationship between the planet, people, and profit with ethnobotanical practices and urban farming in achieving the concept of “city healing”. This research uses the primary method of case and explanatory studies, purposive location determination of five major cities in Indonesia, with 150 respondents. The structural equation model (SEM) was used to test the model, while the partial least squares (PLS) was used to analyze survey data with interviews and observations. The results showed that people, the planet, and profit generally have excellent and significant effects on urban farming ethnobotany. Using ethnobotanical practices has a considerable and beneficial impact on urban health. Urban farming ethnobotany can promote city healing.

Abstract: The current study was conducted in private dairy cows station located in middle of Iraq by using 80 samples of blood during the period 2021 – 2022 in aim to determine the effect of IL-6 concentration on reproductive performance. Results showed a significant effect (P≤0.01) of IL-6 level on reproductive traits parameters. Days open differed significantly according this interleukin and the highest days open was recorded in cows with low IL-6 level namely, 187.37 pg/ml. Service per conception differed significantly according to IL-6 level in blood plasma, the highest number of service per conception was recorded in cows with low IL-6 interleukin about 3.77 service. calving interval differed significantly according to IL-6 concentration, the longest period was noticed in cows with low IL-6 level compared with the shortest period which noticed in cows with moderate IL-6 level namely, 482.48 and 400.25 day respectively. Ovulation weakness differ significantly (P≤0.01) according to IL-6, the highest rate of infection was recorded in cows with high IL-6 level (63.64%) from total number about 33 cases while the lowest rate of ovulation weakness was noticed in cows with low IL-6 level namely, 21.21%.
