The study was carried out in two seasons in randomized block design and evaluated for twelve yield and yield attributing characters. From this pooled diversity analysis was carried out, in that 35 rice genotypes were grouped into seven clusters. Maximum numbers of genotypes were grouped in the cluster II hence it was observed with high intra cluster distance and the cluster VI and VII had single genotype and thus observed with low intra cluster distance. The maximum inter cluster distance, which is a measure of greater genetic diversity had been observed between the cluster I and cluster V. Hence, hybridization between these clusters can be expected to produce transgressive seggregants which can be utilized as effective parents. The character that contributed more for the divergence was found to be single plant yield among the twelve characters studied.

Grey leaf blight, caused by Pestalotiopsis sp., is one of the most serious fungal diseases affecting coconut. Grey blight symptoms include minute yellow or brown dots encircled by a greyish ring on the leaflets. The cultural features of the pathogen were examined on five non-synthetic/semi-synthetic (Potato dextrose agar, Oatmeal agar, Bennet's agar, Host leaf extract agar and Sabouraud's dextrose agar) and two synthetic solid and liquid media (Richards' agar and Czapek's (Dox) agar). In which Pestalotiopsis sp. exhibits the highest myceial growth and sporulation on Potato dextrose agar (90 mm), Oatmeal agar (90 mm), and Sabouraud's dextrose agar (90 mm) and the least myceial growth and sporulation on host leaf extract agar (84 mm) and Richard's agar (67.50 mm). The pathogen was incubated at various temperatures (5 °C, 10 °C, 15 °C, 20 °C, 25 °C, 30 °C, and 35 °C) and pH (3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8), in order to determine the optimum pH and temperature for their growth. Physiological studies revealed that the ideal pH and temperature for Pestalotiopsis sp. growth are 5 to 6 and 20 to 25 °C, respectively.

Due to RKNs on the chilli in Meloidogyneinfected pot culture, Penicillium sp. demonstrated plant growth-promoting characteristics and nematocidal activities, according to the findings of the current study. This fungus can be used as a growth promoter in Treatments 2 and 3, where a mixture of Meloidogyne sp. and Penicelliumsp. showed higher growth rates and yellowing leaves in some pots, but no knots were found in the roots however, the current research may offer a theoretical basis for a growth promoter agent for better growth in Penicillium inoculated pots and In Nematode inoculated pots, Meloidogynesp can reduce plant growth. In both Meliodogynesp and Penicillium sp inoculated pots, it was demonstrated that decreasing nematode population increased the growth habits of chilies in terms of number of leaves Therefore, it has been demonstrated that Penicellium decreases nematocidal action while promoting growth parameters in chilli plants, and that using preventative measures can somewhat lessen insect infestation in control pots.

Nonetheless, phytohormones have been found as a potent tool for minimizing the detrimental effects of stressors in agricultural plants in a sustainable manner. Salicylic acid (SA), one of the most important phytohormones, is required for the regulation of plant growth, development, ripening, and defensive responses. A lot of interest has been generated by SA's defensive mechanism. Major agricultural crops' ability to withstand stress has been said to be much improved. SA utilization is influenced by the amount of SA applied, the application method, and the state of the plants (such as their developmental stage and level of acclimation). In this review, we have focus on the efficacy of SA on mitigating various plant biotic and abiotic stress under adverse environmental conditions and its role on plant growth, development and productivity.

We induced autophagy in isolated adult rat ventricular cardiomyocytes (ARVCs) by incubating them in glucose-free, mannitol-supplemented medium for up to 4 days. Ultrastructurally, intracellular vacuoles containing degenerated subcellular organelles (e.g., mitochondria) were markedly apparent in the glucose-starved cells. Microtubule-associated protein-1 light chain 3 was significantly upregulated among the glucose-starved ARVCs than among the controls. After 4 days, glucose-starved ARVCs showed a significantly worse survival rate (19 ± 5.2%) than the controls (55 ± 8.3%, P < 0.005). Most dead ARVCs in both groups showed features of necrosis, and the rate of apoptosis did not differ between the groups. Two inhibitors of autophagy, 3-methyladenine (3-MA) and leupeptin, significantly...

Traditional pest control methods often rely on chemical insecticides, which can have adverse effects on the environment, human health, and food safety. In light of these concerns, there is growing interest in exploring sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives for managing stored product insect pests. This abstract highlights the potential of plant-based products as a viable and environmentally friendly approach to control stored product insect pests. Plant-based products, such as botanical extracts and essential oils, are derived from various plant sources and have shown promise in repelling, deterring, and even killing insect pests. These products offer several advantages, including biodegradability, reduced chemical residues, and minimal harm to non-target organisms. This review summarizes recent research on the efficacy of plant-based products against a range of stored product insect pests, including but not limited to beetles, weevils, and moths. It discusses the mechanisms through which these products exert their pest control effects, such as disrupting insect behavior, affecting their reproduction, or inducing mortality. Moreover, the potential synergistic effects of combining plant-based products with other pest management strategies, like hermetic storage and modified atmospheres, are explored. In addition, this abstract examines the challenges and limitations associated with the use of plant-based products in pest management, including issues related to formulation, stability, and the need for further research to standardize application protocols. The economic feasibility and scalability of plant-based pest control methods are also considered. The findings presented in this abstract emphasize the importance of incorporating plant-based products into integrated pest management strategies for stored product insect pests. These products have the potential to contribute to a more sustainable and environmentally friendly approach to safeguarding global food reserves, while minimizing the risks associated with chemical pesticides. Further research and collaboration between the scientific community, agricultural industry, and policymakers are essential to harness the full potential of plant-based products in the fight against stored product insect pests.
