The basic aim of this study was to compare the denitrification efficacy of 2,5-dichloroaniline, Ammonium Thiosulphate and their combination (1:1) with previous studies. Ammonium Thiosulphate was not used as a nitrification inhibitor in previous research. Our findings depict that there was significant variation among the chemicals, soil and levels in denitrification for early seedling growth of wheat.

Ebook "Sulfur assimilation and abiotic stress in plants" discusses the aspects of sustainable crop production with sulfur, the importance of sulfur metabolites and sulfur metabolizing enzymes in abiotic stress management in plants. Sulfur is one of the four major essential elements necessary for the plant life cycle. Its assimilation in higher plants and its reduction in metabolically important sulfur compounds are crucial factors determining plant growth and vigor and resistance to stresses.

Coconut (Cocos nucifera L.) or 'the tree of life' is one of the most important palm crops due to its versatility. Reduction in coconut productivity due to natural calamity and disease threats has raised the urgent need to develop in vitro techniques that can overcome the obstacles of the traditional breeding method. Embryo culture is one of the earliest in vitro culture techniques applied to practical problems and so far has proved itself to be of great value to breeders.
