They aid quick transportation of water across membranes and are important in controlling cell volume and transcellular water passage. Aquaporins are present in organisms, and they vary from archaea and bacteria to plants and animals. They are also found in insects and yeast. Presently, 13 mammalian aquaporins (AQP0 to AQP12) have been cloned and identified in every tissue in the body. These aquaporins are alike in basic structure with monomers containing six transmembrane and two short helical segments that enclose cytoplasmic and extracellular vestibules linked by aqueous pore. They have distinctive structures that define their functions, mode of action, and even their various control methods. Phylogenetic analysis of aquaporin consists of aquaporins, glycerol facilitators, plasma membrane integral proteins of plants, tonoplast integral proteins of plants, nodules of plants, and AQP8s. Aquapor...

Investigation was carried out on the effects of Fresh Shoot Biomass of Chromolaena odorata on okra Abelmoschus esculentus. For the laboratory experiment, about 5g, 10g, 15g and 20g each of Chromolaena odorata was weighed into plastic bottles each containing 250ml of distilled water for 24 hours. Two millilitres of the leachate was used to water the seeds of okra that was placed in Petri dishes. Each treatment had five replicates that contained four seeds of okra (Abelmoschus esculentus). For the screening experiment, loamy top soil, fresh shoot, stems and leaves of Chromolaena odorata were collected within Federal University Oye Ekiti environment and crushed into smaller bits using mortar and pestle. Three seeds, each of okra that was planted in all the pots. The growth variables considered include radicle length, plumule length, number of roots, for the green ...

Moench (okra). The two okra varieties, viz. Meenaxi-371 and Soniya-1402, were used for the experiment. Their seeds were exposed to 0-14 h (h) of microwave radiation (9.3 GHz). Non-irradiated seeds (0 h exposure) served as control. We found that microwave radiation on seeds resulted in an increase in their germination indices and also stimulated the concentration of β-1,3-glucanase enzyme. The results also indicate a remarkable increase in bioactive compounds such as flavonoids, polyphenols, carotenoids, chlorophyll, lutein, protein, and β-carotene in okra seedlings exposed to 8-10 h of radiation. A further dose escalation in the microwave radiation caused a decline in the germination and growth of the okra plant. The expression level of ACS4, ETR2, and ACS6 showed up-regulation under the influence of microwave irradiated conditions. Therefore, it is evident that a well-controlled and defined irradiation has the potential to enhance the overall growth and yield of selected okra varieties.
