Plant characters

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is one of the staple cereal crops of the world and it is one of the main sources of carbohydrates for nearly one-half of the world's population. So, an increase in rice yield to satisfy human needs is a pressing requirement. Agronomic characters such as high plant, length of panicle, length of flag leaf, number of seed per panicle, the weight of thousand rice, length and width of rice and tolerance to salt are the deciding factor for yield in rice.

Jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus Lam.), being a cross pollinated crop shows high variations in plant and leaf characters. Thus, present study was under taken to assess the morphological variations of plant and leaf characters among twenty genotypes under AICRP on Fruits, B.C.K.V., Mohanpur centre as per the descriptor developed by Bioversity International (IPGRI).

The estimates of genotypic correlation coefficients in general were higher than their corresponding phenotypic correlation coefficients indicating strong inherent association among the traits. The seed yield per plant had significant and positive association with number of primary branches plant-1, number of secondary branches plant-1 , number of pods plant-1 , number of seeds plant-1 , biological yield plant-1 , seed yield (kg/ha) harvest index and 100-seed weight at both genotypic as well as phenotypic levels.

In order compute genetic variability, heritability and genetic advance expressed as per cent of mean, an investigation was carried out with 79 plants of F2 population of MFC-09-12 × PGCP-12 and 90 plants of F2population of MFC-08-14 × PL-3 in cowpea. Considerably high amount of variability was observed for the thirteen quantitative and qualitative characters under study.

Six ribosomal proteins are specific to higher plant chloro-plast ribosomes [Subramanian,A.R. (1993)TrendsBiochem. Sci.18, 177–180]. Three of them have been fully character-ized [Yamaguchi, K., von Knoblauch, K. & Subramanian, A. R. (2000) J. Biol. Chem.275, 28455–28465; Yamaguchi, K. &Subramanian, A. R. (2000) J. Biol. Chem.275, 28466– 28482]. The remaining three plastid-specific ribosomal pro-teins (PSRPs), all on the small subunit, have now been characterized (2D PAGE, HPLC,N-terminal/internal pep-tide sequencing, electrospray ionization MS, cloning/ sequencing of precursor cDNAs). ...

The development of unisexual flowers in maize and other plants proceeds through selective elimination of floral organs in an initially bisexual floral meristem. The essential character of thetasselseed 2 gene (TS2) in this cell-death pathway has been established previously.

Although plant non-specific lipid transfer proteins (ns-LTPs) are character-ized by their ability to bind and transfer a broad range of hydrophobic ligands in vitro, their biological functions in vivo remain unclear. Recently, it has been proposed that ns-LTPs may play a key role in plant defense mechanisms, particularly during the induction of systemic acquired resis-tance,
