Comparative Study on the Effect of Growth Regulators on The Development and Multiplication of in vitro Germinated Orchids of Bangladesh
Abstract: Abstract‘In vitro’ culture response of different plant growth regulators was assessed in two indigenous medicinal orchid species namely, Acampe papillosa (Lindl.) Lindl. and Aerides odoratum Lour. orchid for optimum callus induction and plantlet regeneration. Leaf and nodal segments of in vitro grown seedlings of the both species were cultured on MS and PM (Phytamax) media supplemented with different concentration and combinations of plant growth regulators of Auxin and Cytokinins. The …

An Assessment of Soil Carbon Efflux between Agroecosystem and Forest Ecosystem at Indo-Gangetic Plains and Vindhyan Highland, India
Abstract: AbstractAssessing the effect of land-use changes on soil (Carbon di-oxide) CO2 efflux is imperative to understand the interactions between belowground metabolism and regional carbon budgets. In this study daytime soil CO2 efflux from agriculture and forest ecosystem in Indo-Gangetic plains and Vindhyan highland were measured through Li-cor 6400. The relationship between the soil temperature, soil moisture and soil CO2 efflux of these two zones along with soil properties were also …

Effect of Salicylic Acid on Biochemical Traits in Two Cultivars of Soybean under Salt Stress
Abstract: AbstractSoybean is considered to be moderately salt sensitive species and is affected by salinity condition in terms of growth and yield. Among the abiotic stress, salinity is one of the serious agricultural problems worldwide which reduces field production. Foliar feeding of plants can effectively improve plant growth and productivity and is known to be more effective than soil application. Salicylic acid (SA) is a naturally occurring plant growth regulator which …
