        1 - In-vitro propagation of Pluchea lanceolata (DC) C.B.Clarke a potent antiarthritic medicinal herb through axillary bud

        Pluchea lanceolata, commonly known as Rasana, is highly valued for its anti-inflammatory, antiarthritic, and analgesic properties and is extensively employed in treating rheumatoid arthritis, cough, neurological diseases, edema, sciatica, psoriasis, bronchitis, dyspepsi More
        Pluchea lanceolata, commonly known as Rasana, is highly valued for its anti-inflammatory, antiarthritic, and analgesic properties and is extensively employed in treating rheumatoid arthritis, cough, neurological diseases, edema, sciatica, psoriasis, bronchitis, dyspepsia, and piles. Shrinking populations and insufficient variation due to rootstock propagation methods warrant efficient mass multiplication and conservation protocols. In the present study, explant (axillaries bud was cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with different concentrations of cytokinins and auxin (PGRs) individually, as well as in combination. The highest mean shoot number (2.06 ± 1.43) and second highest mean shoot length (2.62 ± 1.49 cm) were obtained in MS media enriched with 4 mg/L Benzyl amino purine (BAP) + 1mg/L Naphthalene acetic acid (NAA). Whereas, the best shoots multiplication (2.62 ± 1.41) and shoots elongation (5.88 ± 2.44) responses were displayed when MS medium supplemented with 0.25 mg/L (BAP) +0.50 mg/L Kinetin (KIN) were used.

        2 - Effects of season and spacing on growth pattern and seed yield of Muskdana genotypes (Abelmoschus moschatus L.) and radical scavenging activity of its seed oil

        This study aims to evaluate the effects of season and spacing on growth patterns and seed yield performance of muskdana by estimating fixable and non-fixable components of genetic variances for diverse traits of economic significance and identification of highly divergent clusters of genotypes to exploit them in hybridization program. Radical scavenging activity of oil from muskdana seeds was also checked. The field experiment was conducted in two seasons , namely January to June (season I) and July to December (season II) with five spacing levels treatment 1, 2, 3, 4, and CIMAP of Abelmoschus moschatus. From the obtained results, it can be concluded that genotypes CIM-AM 22, CIM-AM 40, and CIM-AM 49 of A. moschatus showed greater potential in terms of yield. A. moschatus oil has also effective and powerful reducing power and exhibits significant radical scavenging activity which is comparable with standard antioxidants such as ascorbic acid, BHA, and BHT.

        Genotype x environment interaction and stability were analyzed through Eberhart and Russell model among seventeen accessions/germplasms of turmeric (Curcuma longa L.) during three environments/years. For rhizome yield the mean performance over three environments showed More
        Genotype x environment interaction and stability were analyzed through Eberhart and Russell model among seventeen accessions/germplasms of turmeric (Curcuma longa L.) during three environments/years. For rhizome yield the mean performance over three environments showed that yield ranged from 241.41 q/ha (CIMCH14127) to 579.67 q/ha (CIMCH14229). Six genotypes namely CIMCH14107, CIMCH14171, CIMCH14165, CIMCH14130, CIMCH14208 and CIMCH14229 had significantly higher mean for rhizome yield as compared to the general mean. Among seventeen genotypes, five genotypes had more than 1 regression coefficient, while eight genotypes had less than 1 regression coefficient and four genotypes showed bi=1. For CIMCH14101, CIMCH14144, CIMCH14159, CIMCH14190, CIMCH14152, CIMCH14123 and CIMCH14164 S2di was significant. The stability parameters for rhizome yield revealed that CIMCH14171 and CIMCH14229 were stable for all environments. Three genotypes viz., CIMCH14107, CIMCH14130 and CIMCH14208 genotypes were suitable for unfavorable environments having mean values, bi Manuscript profile
