Abstract Semecarpus anacardium L. is a potential underutilized edible, highly nutritious fruit crop with ample medicinal properties grown in some localized pockets of India. Being a hardy crop, it can be easily used for climate resilient horticulture adaptation. But due to inadequate knowledge it is remains in underused position. Therefore the investigation was carried out to study the morphological and biochemical characteristics of the plant which will help in further improvement of the crop. The plant followed quadratic growth curve in different vegetative characters and leaf chlorophyll in both the years. Positive correlation was observed in different vegetative characters with different weather parameters during first year whereas in second year negatively correlation was recorded with sunshine hours only. The vegetative growth almost ceased during winter season, slow to moderate growth during summer and rapid growth was noticed from rainy to autumn season during experimentation. Leaf chlorophyll content followed an increasing trend during April to November and whereas a decreasing trend from December-March. It bears only terminally in older shoot from May to June with very lower fruit set and retention yield. The ripened fruits of Bhela showed high (23.94 ºbrix) TSS, total sugar, protein (21.08%), total carbohydrate, crude fat (34.91%) and food energy value (445.43 kcal/g). The observed performance of the crop with regards to plant morphology, growth rate and fruit quality was indicative for commercial exploitation in future.

Present investigation was carried out during the winter season at Horticulture Research block, Department of Horticulture, Shri Guru Ram Rai University, Dehradun, Uttarakhand. To investigate the effect of GA3 treatment on growth attributes and days taken for germination initiation of walnut. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with three replications and twelve treatments. The treatments comprised following levels of GA3 concentrations viz. 500ppm, 1000ppm, 15000ppm and control in three different replications of Horticultural Research Block. Various observations regarding growth parameters such as leaf length, leaf width, shoot length, shoot width and numbers of days taken for germination initiation of walnut were recorded. The result revealed that treatment of GA3 1500ppm of nursery polybag application found to be beneficial for vegetative characters viz, found to be the most effective treatment for increasing leaf length, shoot length and shoot diameter. In another point of view, 1500ppm GA3 treatment in polyhouse was found to be profitable as compared to rest of treatments in terms of number of days taken for germination. Apart from this leaf width of 1000ppm in nursery polybag was found best.

Moringa (Moringa oleifera) could be one of the promising tree fodders to meet up the seasonal forage shortage in Bangladesh. Two cultivars of Moringa oleifera species namely Black Seed Moringa (BSM-L)  Local and White Seed Moringa (WSM-L) Local were cultivated at fodder research field in Bangladesh Livestock Research Institute (BLRI), Savar, Dhaka, Bangladesh during the period from August 2015 to December 2017 to determine plant morphology and biomass yield in different seasons of two consecutive years under common agronomical practices. The production performances of two Moringa cultivars were analyzed in an ANOVA of a Randomized Block Design (RBD). The result revealed that BSM-L had significantly higher survivability (89.12%, P<0.001), number of prune plant-1 (4.03, P<0.001) and lower defoliation rate (2.80%, P<0.04) than WSM-L(42.70%; 2.41 and 4.01%, respectively). On the other hand, leaf to stem ratio did not vary significantly (P<0.30) between cultivars (0.51 vs0.62). The annual fresh biomass yields (t ha-1) of BSM-L foliage (leaf+stem), stem and leaf (120.88, 84.14 and 45.07, respectively) were significantly (P<0.001) higher than that of WSM-L(33.71, 20.65and 12.67, respectively). On the other hand, the annual dry biomass yields (t ha-1) of BSM-L tops, stem and leaf (24.70, 14.49 and 09.85, respectively) were also significantly (P<0.001) higher than that of WSM-L (7.43, 3.93and 2.81, respectively). The seasonal effect of fresh foliage yield of Moringa showed that, dry& hot (March-June) (24.78 t ha-1/cut for BSM-L and 8.93 t ha-1/cut for WSM-L)and wet &hot(July-October) (31.48 t ha-1/cut for BSM-L and 6.85 t ha-1/cut for WSM-L)climates were found to be more suitable than dry & cool (November-February) (8.76 t ha-1/cut for BSM-L and 1.97 t ha-1/cut for WSM-L) climate. The initial growth of Moringa plants in the autumn or winter season was not satisfactory due to low temperature, humidity and rainfall. Results however, also showed that production of Moringa varied with variety and season. Finally, based on plant morphology and biomass yield, it may be concluded that, BSM-L may be cultivated as a potential tree fodder crop rather than WSM-L for ruminants in Bangladesh. Bang. J. Anim.

For the present study a total of 18 bacterial isolates were isolated from Ramie canes soils. Preliminary characteristics like colony characteristics and substrate concentrations were studied for the microorganisms. Physicochemical factors affecting the bacterial growth. The three seasons winter, summer and rainy seasons were also affected the growth of the bacteria. Various substrates like starch peptone, xylan peptone, Glycerol, Aspargine, glucose nitrate agar, carboxymethyl cellulose agar and pectin peptone agar media were studied. Maximum colony growth was recorded in pectin peptone agar media. Cream white, orange, red, yellow, lemon yellow and watery white colonies were recorded. The size of the bacterial strains was recorded in 1-55 mm in diameter. All the strains were entire lobed, convex having smooth and rough surface. of the 18 strains 11 were gram positive rods and the remaining strains were negative rods. Among the 18 strains, we were selected six strains for further studies like effect of seasons on growth and amino acid infilteration of bacteria. Maximum growth was recorded in winter season with 85.0 colony count in the presence of CCLS strain. There are 10 amino acids were introduced into the bacteria, with maximum growth was WCES bacterial strain. The results of this study reveal that the soil microflora associated with the ramie cane soils. These bacterial strains were used in the process of decortication and degumming.

Spinach grown in Texas developed “yellow spotting” on the peripheral portions of the leaves. The exact cause of the discoloration could not be determined as there was no evidence of viral or parasitic infestation of the plants and biochemical characterization of the plants did not indicate any significant differences between the yellow and green leaf portions of the spinach. The present study was undertaken using electron microscopy (EM) to determine if a micro-nutrient deficiency was the cause for the discoloration.Green leaf spinach was collected from the field and sent by express mail to the EM laboratory. The yellow and equivalent green portions of the leaves were isolated and dried in a Denton evaporator at 10-5 Torr for 24 hrs. The leaf specimens were then examined using a JEOL 100 CX analytical microscope. TEM specimens were prepared according to the methods of Trump et al.

DNA topoisomerase II is an ATP-dependent double-stranded DNA strand-passing enzyme that is necessary for full condensation of chromosomes and for complete segregation of sister chromatids at mitosis in vivo and in vitro. Biochemical characterization of chromosomes or nuclei after extraction with high-salt or detergents and DNAse treatment showed that topoisomerase II was a major component of this remnant, termed the chromosome scaffold. The scaffold has been hypothesized to be the structural backbone of the chromosome, so the localization of topoisomerase II to die scaffold suggested that the enzyme might play a structural role in the chromosome. However, topoisomerase II has not been studied in nuclei or chromosomes in vivo. We have monitored the chromosomal distribution of topoisomerase II in vivo during mitosis in the Drosophila embryo. This embryo forms a multi-nucleated syncytial blastoderm early in its developmental cycle. During this time, the embryonic nuclei synchronously progress through 13 mitotic cycles, so this is an ideal system to follow nuclear and chromosomal dynamics.
