Review on Assessment of Use and Efficiency of Mating Design in Plant Breeding
Abstract: AbstractPlant breeder works with many different characters, some of which will be controlled by genes whose individual effects can be easily detected. Selection with these characters can give spectacular results others however, form a bulk of the characters plant breeders work with and are governed by genes whose individual effects are so small that they are not amenable to conventional analysis of segregation ratios. The success of any breeding programme …

Flavonoid Contents and Antioxidant Activity of an Endophytic Bacteria Associated with Medicinal Plant Humulus lupulus
Abstract: Endophytes are symbiotic microorganisms, most often bacteria or fungi, that reside and multiply within plant tissues without inducing visible signs of disease or negatively affecting the host plant. Endophytic bacteria contribute to plant development by stimulating growth, strengthening defence mechanisms, enhancing tolerance to both abiotic and biotic stresses, and facilitating improved nutrient uptake. Endophytic bacteria serve as an important reservoir of bioactive compounds, notably antioxidant molecules, that play a crucial …
