Total Lipids and Storage Quality of Oil Seeds and Nuts as Influenced by Yeast Fermentation
Abstract: Oilseeds and the products made from them have a role in a healthy balanced diet, even though they are energy dense and contain a high proportion of fat. Most oilseeds are made up of protein and oil. In general, fat is 18–45% by weight of oilseeds and protein is about 16–40%. Fluctuations in oil yields can cause significant fluctuations in their rates. The oils contain fat-soluble vitamins and unsaturated fats …

Direct Regeneration from Leaf Explants of Petunia, Petunia Hybrida
Abstract: ABSTRACTPetunia is a very popular and high-value ornamental plant in the world. There is a high demand for petunia and hence plant nurseries are a great source of these plants. Owing to the fact that many high-value petunias are hybrids, production of plants through micro propagation is of great importance. As per the literature available, obtaining direct shoot proliferation from leaf explants has not been observed. In our study, direct …

Heterosis in Plants
Abstract: It refers to hybrid vigor or heterosis; herein, the offspring expressed better traits than one or both parent lines. This most often manifests in crop breeding as increased yield in F1 hybrids compared with their parents. Developing high-yielding hybrid cultivars across a wider range of crops represents an important strategy for addressing future food security. However, conventional hybrid breeding approaches are fraught with significant challenges in many self-pollinating crops, such …

Determination of A More Efficient Method of Grafting Mangoes and Optimum Growth Environment for A Successful Graft Union
Abstract: AbstractMangoes (Mangifera indica) have traditionally been propagated through seeds but this process takes many years for trees to start bearing fruits (7–10 years). Grafting is used to shorten the juvenile period in which mangoes start bearing between as early as 1 to 3 years. Farmers believe that after grafting, grafted plants need to be placed in greenhouse for successful union of the graft and growth of the sprouts. Authors know …
