Role of new generation plant bioregulators in fruitSindhu Reddy
In order meet out the emerging consumer demand and challenges towards fruit production, there is the need to explore new interventions. One among that is use of new generation plant growth regulators in fruit crops. Plant growth regulators (PGR), recently name has been changed to plant bio-regulators (PBR’s) are defined as organic compounds, other than nutrients, that in small concentrations, affect the physiological processes of plants. There are five classical growth hormones which have the specific function in growth and development were already commercially exploited in fruit crops, but use of new generation growth regulators in fruit crops are recent and emerging trend. New generation PBR’s includes brassinosteroids, Jasmonate, salicylic acid, polyamines, karrikins and strigolactones and retardants such as 1-MCP and prohexodione-Ca. These are utilized in fruit crops starting from propagation to improving quality also including biotic and abiotic stress resistant. Hence, new generation plant growth regulators are an effective alternative for future fruit production combating major production challenges.

Cassava is a tropical root crop grown for its starchy tuberous root and is one of the most important crops globally. It can be grown in poor soils and withstand drought. There are two main varieties - bitter and sweet. Bitter cassava contains cyanogenic glycosides that are toxic and must be removed through processing before consumption. Cassava is used for human food, animal feed, starch extraction and other industrial applications. Processing of cassava produces wastewater and solid residues that require proper management to reduce environmental impacts.
ROLE OF BIOFERTILIZERS IN VEGETABLE PRODUCTIONATMA RAM MEENA
Biofertilizers are living microorganisms that help supply nutrients to plants. When applied to seeds, soil or seedlings, they can help fix atmospheric nitrogen, solubilize phosphorus, and promote plant growth. Several types of biofertilizers are discussed in the document, including nitrogen fixers like Rhizobium, Azotobacter, and blue-green algae, as well as phosphate solubilizers and mycorrhizal fungi. Studies demonstrate that combining biofertilizers with reduced chemical fertilizers can increase crop yields and quality compared to chemical fertilizers alone.
Lesson 1 Introduction and Crop Growth Analysis AGR3301 Sem2 MAR 2022.pdfssusera1fa64
Crop physiology is the study of how plant organs function and the complex chemical processes that allow crops to live, grow and reproduce. The overall goal is to develop a detailed understanding of all natural phenomena that occur in living plants, to understand plant growth, development and productivity. Growth analysis is a mathematical expression of environmental effects on crop growth, and uses parameters like relative growth rate (RGR), net assimilation rate (NAR), crop growth rate (CGR), and leaf area index (LAI) to quantify effects on dry matter accumulation and partitioning. Understanding these processes can benefit practical agriculture through more intensive research in plant physiology.

This document discusses the rejuvenation of old mango orchards. Senility occurs when trees lose the ability to produce vigorous new growth after long periods of fruiting. Rejuvenation involves pruning trees to activate dormant buds and promote new shoot growth from the existing root system. It aims to improve productivity by lowering the canopy, creating space for intercropping, and enhancing shoot development through techniques like paclobutrazol application. Rejuvenation has been shown to successfully restore productivity in mango orchards over 3 years by stimulating profuse new shoot growth and flowering.
Unit 3.0 introduction and history of plant tissue cultureDr. Mafatlal Kher
Plant tissue culture is the process of growing plant cells, tissues or organs in an artificial nutrient medium under sterile conditions. The document discusses the history and development of plant tissue culture techniques. It notes that plant tissue culture is founded on cell theory proposed by Schleiden and Schwann in 1838-1839. Gottlieb Haberlandt is considered the father of plant tissue culture for his pioneering experiments in 1902, though his experiments failed due to inappropriate plant material and nutrient medium. Improved nutrient solutions like Knop's solution, White's medium and Murashige and Skoog medium enabled indefinite growth and multiplication of plant tissues in culture.

Vegetable grafting is a very effective technique to mitigate biotic and abiotic stresses that crop face during production period. Vegetable grafting results in improved crop yield.
Canopy management is the manipulation of tree canopies to optimize the production of quality fruits. The canopy management, particularly its components like tree training and pruning, affects the quantity of sunlight intercepted by trees, as tree shape determines the presentation of leaf area to incoming radiation.
Potatoes are a tuber crop grown worldwide for food. A potato plant develops from an underground tuber that has eyes from which sprouts and roots grow. Potatoes are botanically classified as a root vegetable but are actually modified stems called tubers that grow underground. The tubers are planted, they sprout, photosynthesis occurs to develop the plant above ground while also bulking the underground tubers, then the tubers are harvested. Potatoes require cool temperatures, well-drained soil rich in organic matter, and are cultivated through hilling which piles additional soil around the base of the plant as it grows.
Dill (Anethum graveolens) is an erect, branching annual herb that is widely used in cooking. It has been used medicinally for over 5,000 years, dating back to ancient Egypt and Babylon. Dill grows up to 3-5 feet tall with finely divided, blue-green leaves and yellow flowers arranged in large umbels. It prefers well-draining, slightly acidic soil and can be grown from seed sown directly in the ground in spring or summer, thinning the seedlings as they grow. Dill is harvested for its leaves and seeds and can be used fresh or dried to add flavor in cooking or as a medicinal herb.

Physiological and molecular control of sinkactivity, partitioning efficiency ...manjupainkra
This document discusses source-sink relationships in plants and factors that influence crop yield. It defines sources as regions where organic materials are synthesized, such as leaves, and sinks as non-photosynthetic organs that import photosynthates, such as roots, seeds and fruits. Photosynthates are transported from sources to sinks via the phloem. The harvest index is defined as the ratio of economic yield to biological yield, representing the efficiency of biomass partitioning. Crop yield is determined by interactions between yield components - including the number of reproductive units and grains - and environmental factors. Improving photosynthetic efficiency, source activity and sink strength will be key to increasing crop yields in the future.

Producing value-added cashew apple products provides economic benefits to farmers and entrepreneurs while increasing access to a nutritious food.
The document is an assignment submitted by Brahmbhatt Jay H on plant growth regulators and their role in vegetable crop production. It discusses various types of plant growth regulators including auxins, gibberellins, cytokinins, abscisic acid, ethylene, morphactins, anti-transpirants, anti-auxins, ripening retardants, and plant stimulants. It provides details on their functions, examples, and effects on plant growth and development processes.
Use of nanofertilizers on fruit trees contributes effectively to improve the fruit quality and increasing the productivity of trees. It reduces environmental pollution by reducing the amount of fertilizers used, which is positively reflected in the increased economic return of the farmers. When nanofertilizers sprayed at very low concentration on fruit trees, these compounds have had a direct effect by increasing the growth, yield and quality of these fruit crops.
Plant growth regulators can be natural or synthetic compounds that modify physiological processes in plants. The main classes of plant growth promoters discussed are auxins, gibberellins, and cytokinins. Auxins promote cell elongation, root formation, and fruit development. Gibberellins promote stem elongation, seed germination, and flowering. Cytokinins promote cell division. Ethylene and abscisic acid are major growth inhibitors and promote processes like fruit ripening and senescence. The document provides examples of how these growth regulators are used commercially in vegetable crops to stimulate seed germination, break dormancy, induce flowering and parthenocarpy, control sex expression, improve fruit set and yield, and enhance quality.

EWOCS-I: The catalog of X-ray sources in Westerlund 1 from the Extended Weste...Sérgio Sacani
Context. With a mass exceeding several 104 M⊙ and a rich and dense population of massive stars, supermassive young star clusters
represent the most massive star-forming environment that is dominated by the feedback from massive stars and gravitational interactions
among stars.
Aims. In this paper we present the Extended Westerlund 1 and 2 Open Clusters Survey (EWOCS) project, which aims to investigate
the influence of the starburst environment on the formation of stars and planets, and on the evolution of both low and high mass stars.
The primary targets of this project are Westerlund 1 and 2, the closest supermassive star clusters to the Sun.
Methods. The project is based primarily on recent observations conducted with the Chandra and JWST observatories. Specifically,
the Chandra survey of Westerlund 1 consists of 36 new ACIS-I observations, nearly co-pointed, for a total exposure time of 1 Msec.
Additionally, we included 8 archival Chandra/ACIS-S observations. This paper presents the resulting catalog of X-ray sources within
and around Westerlund 1. Sources were detected by combining various existing methods, and photon extraction and source validation
were carried out using the ACIS-Extract software.
Results. The EWOCS X-ray catalog comprises 5963 validated sources out of the 9420 initially provided to ACIS-Extract, reaching a
photon flux threshold of approximately 2 × 10−8 photons cm−2
s
−1
. The X-ray sources exhibit a highly concentrated spatial distribution,
with 1075 sources located within the central 1 arcmin. We have successfully detected X-ray emissions from 126 out of the 166 known
massive stars of the cluster, and we have collected over 71 000 photons from the magnetar CXO J164710.20-455217.

Unlocking the mysteries of reproduction: Exploring fecundity and gonadosomati...AbdullaAlAsif1
The pygmy halfbeak Dermogenys colletei, is known for its viviparous nature, this presents an intriguing case of relatively low fecundity, raising questions about potential compensatory reproductive strategies employed by this species. Our study delves into the examination of fecundity and the Gonadosomatic Index (GSI) in the Pygmy Halfbeak, D. colletei (Meisner, 2001), an intriguing viviparous fish indigenous to Sarawak, Borneo. We hypothesize that the Pygmy halfbeak, D. colletei, may exhibit unique reproductive adaptations to offset its low fecundity, thus enhancing its survival and fitness. To address this, we conducted a comprehensive study utilizing 28 mature female specimens of D. colletei, carefully measuring fecundity and GSI to shed light on the reproductive adaptations of this species. Our findings reveal that D. colletei indeed exhibits low fecundity, with a mean of 16.76 ± 2.01, and a mean GSI of 12.83 ± 1.27, providing crucial insights into the reproductive mechanisms at play in this species. These results underscore the existence of unique reproductive strategies in D. colletei, enabling its adaptation and persistence in Borneo's diverse aquatic ecosystems, and call for further ecological research to elucidate these mechanisms. This study lends to a better understanding of viviparous fish in Borneo and contributes to the broader field of aquatic ecology, enhancing our knowledge of species adaptations to unique ecological challenges.

When I was asked to give a companion lecture in support of ‘The Philosophy of Science’ (https://shorturl.at/4pUXz) I decided not to walk through the detail of the many methodologies in order of use. Instead, I chose to employ a long standing, and ongoing, scientific development as an exemplar. And so, I chose the ever evolving story of Thermodynamics as a scientific investigation at its best.
Conducted over a period of >200 years, Thermodynamics R&D, and application, benefitted from the highest levels of professionalism, collaboration, and technical thoroughness. New layers of application, methodology, and practice were made possible by the progressive advance of technology. In turn, this has seen measurement and modelling accuracy continually improved at a micro and macro level.
Perhaps most importantly, Thermodynamics rapidly became a primary tool in the advance of applied science/engineering/technology, spanning micro-tech, to aerospace and cosmology. I can think of no better a story to illustrate the breadth of scientific methodologies and applications at their best.
The use of Nauplii and metanauplii artemia in aquaculture (brine shrimp).pptxMAGOTI ERNEST
Although Artemia has been known to man for centuries, its use as a food for the culture of larval organisms apparently began only in the 1930s, when several investigators found that it made an excellent food for newly hatched fish larvae (Litvinenko et al., 2023). As aquaculture developed in the 1960s and ‘70s, the use of Artemia also became more widespread, due both to its convenience and to its nutritional value for larval organisms (Arenas-Pardo et al., 2024). The fact that Artemia dormant cysts can be stored for long periods in cans, and then used as an off-the-shelf food requiring only 24 h of incubation makes them the most convenient, least labor-intensive, live food available for aquaculture (Sorgeloos & Roubach, 2021). The nutritional value of Artemia, especially for marine organisms, is not constant, but varies both geographically and temporally. During the last decade, however, both the causes of Artemia nutritional variability and methods to improve poorquality Artemia have been identified (Loufi et al., 2024).
Brine shrimp (Artemia spp.) are used in marine aquaculture worldwide. Annually, more than 2,000 metric tons of dry cysts are used for cultivation of fish, crustacean, and shellfish larva. Brine shrimp are important to aquaculture because newly hatched brine shrimp nauplii (larvae) provide a food source for many fish fry (Mozanzadeh et al., 2021). Culture and harvesting of brine shrimp eggs represents another aspect of the aquaculture industry. Nauplii and metanauplii of Artemia, commonly known as brine shrimp, play a crucial role in aquaculture due to their nutritional value and suitability as live feed for many aquatic species, particularly in larval stages (Sorgeloos & Roubach, 2021).
