for both genotypes. However‚ seedling length and germination percentage was better in NM 19-19 as compared to Azri mung-2006. Elevated levels of protein were observed under metal stress in both genotypes. Heavy metals induced oxidative stress in plants‚ causing membrane injury as observed by enhanced level of malondialdehyde (MDA) contents. Increase in antioxidant enzymes activity was detected for guaiacol peroxidase (GPX) and catalase (CAT). However‚ ascorbate (APX) activity decreased under stress

An “Automatic Plant Watering System”.Automated plant watering system is a self-running watering system for plants which are very ideal for small group of gardeners and farmers. The Automatic watering System is mainly developed to run by its own‚ with a minimal supervision of human where it can control the water amount automatically and reduces the work load of an individual. The primary objective of the system is to supply the entire plant area uniformly with water‚ so that each plant has provided

intentionally. The constructions of dams have also been postponed due to political matters so we have also failed to produce hydro power. And due to lack of investment and failing in maintenance in the existing independent power plants (IPP) is now resulting in outdated power plants and they are producing lesser MWs as days go by. All this maybe because of we are facing losses due to rampant electricity theft and its not being controlled. Analysts say that line losses have gone upto 30-40 percent. According

Functions and structure of plant terpenes Terpenes are an enormous class of organic compounds‚ that are produced by a wide variety of plants and fungi‚ especially conifers. Terpenes are also produced by some of the living organisms‚ like swallowtail butterflies. They emit terpenes from their osmeterium. Terpenes are important materials for a plant as components of its body and as a material to protect it from external enemies since it has a strong smell and colorless. Terpenes are found in biological

similarities between plant and animal cells are as follows: 1. Both are constructed from eukaryotic cells. 2. Both contain a defined nucleus. 3. Both have mitochondria. 4. Both have Golgi bodies. 5. Both are surrounded by a cell membrane. Three differences are: 1. Plants cells have a cell wall‚ whereas animal cells do not. 2. Animal cells have lysosomes‚ whereas plant cells do not. 3. Animal cells contain centrioles and a cytoskeleton‚ whereas most plants do not. Five

for plants‚ and one small section of the electromagnetic radiation spectrum‚ is called the Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR)‚ provides the energy to drive the light reactions of photosynthesis. Such radiation damages biological tissues by detaching electrons from the atoms that make up organic molecules. The results include radiation poisoning‚ cancer‚ and elevated mutation rates. Scientists use ionizing radiation to increase gene mutation rates in experimental organisms such as plants. The

Auxin Auxin are essential plant hormones that promote the lengthening of the cell‚ which is a critical step before the cell goes through cell differentiation. The auxin can do this by increasing the amount of water taken in by the cell‚ which improves the elasticity of the cell and therefore can take more water and can get increasingly longer. And don’t think for a second that that’s all auxins do auxins may have been the first plant hormone to be discovered doesn’t make it the least important
