A Study on Root Colonization of Medicinal Plants with Vesicular Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi
Abstract: AbstractThe present study deals with the root colonization of medicinal plants with vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal (VAM) fungi. Mycorrhiza is defined as a mutualistic association between the fungi and plant roots. The plant materials used for the study were collected from the premises of St. Dominic’s College, Kanjirappally, Kottayam district of Kerala. The collected specimens were chemically treated and observed under microscope. The result of the study confirmed that the VAM fungi …

Effect of AM Fungi on Biomass Production and Nutrient Uptake of Agroforestry Tree Seedling of Acacia species
Abstract: ABSTRACTIn a controlled pot experiment, agroforestry legume trees Acacia senegal (L.) Willd. and Acacia nilotica (L.) Willd. Ex. Del seedlings were inoculated with three different species of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), Glomus deserticola, Glomus fasciculatum and Gigaspora margarita which were isolated by extraction from the soil from different localities of western Rajasthan. Inoculation treatments under water deficiency significantly increased biomass production and nutrient uptake in both the species of Acacia …

Effect of Abiotic Stress on Chickpea: Physiological Perspective
Abstract: Despite a worldwide intensification of agriculture and tremendous progress towards increasing yields in major crops over the last decade, the goal to reduce the problems associated with abiotic and biotic stress due to unfavourable climate, plant diseases and pests, still remains unfulfilled. Increased plant productivity, therefore relies on a high chemical input and is achieved at the expense of detrimental effect on the environment. To survive both microbe and plants …

A Review on Biological Control of Plant Pathogen
Abstract: AbstractFungi of the genus Trichoderma are biocontrol agents that are successfully used as biopesticides worldwide. Several species of Trichoderma are reported to produce secondary metabolites with antibiotic activity. It is well documented that the interaction of Trichoderma strains with the plant may promote growth, improve crop yield, increase nutrient availability, and enhance disease resistance. In addition, some species of Trichoderma are able to colonize root surfaces, interact with the plant, …

Molecular Characterization of Abiotic Stress Tolerant Chickpea Rhizobia
Abstract: Rhizobacteria are root-colonizing bacteria that form a symbiotic relationship with many legumes. Though parasitic varieties of rhizobacteria exist, the term usually refers to bacteria that form a relationship beneficial for both the parties (mutualism). Such bacteria are often referred to as plant growth promoting rhizobacterias (PGPRs). Though microbial inoculants are indisputably beneficial for crops, they are not widely used in industrial agriculture, as large-scale application techniques have yet to become …

Growth-promoting Characteristics of Wheat-associated Acinetobacter
Abstract: Normal 0 false false false MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 Soil bacteria that colonize the plant roots after inoculation of the seeds, augmenting plant growth by various mechanisms, are known as plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR). Plant growth promotion, biocontrol, and survival characteristics were studied for 37 Acinetobacter strains from wheat rhizosphere. A19 exhibited antibiotic, siderophore, hydrogen cyanide, chitinase, protease, lipase, indoleacetic acid, naphthaleneacetic acid, ethylene production, nitrogen fixation, and phosphate solubilisation, which are important …

Significance and Applications of Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) In Agriculture: A Review
Abstract: ABSTRACTBacteria that colonize the rhizosphere and plant roots, and enhance plant growth by any mechanism are referred to as Plant Growth-Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR). Pathogenic microorganisms affecting crop production is the major and chronic threat to food production and ecosystem stability in global level. As agricultural production intensified over the past few decades, producers became more and more dependent on agrochemicals as a relatively reliable method of crop protection helping with …

Management of Nigeria’s Educational System: Problems and Prospects for National Development
Abstract: The aim of this paper is to discuss the type of education introduced by the colonialists, which encourages brain-drain, human capital flight and underdevelopment. The paper gives a brief on the indigenous African education which is considered outstanding because of its harmony with the socio-economic and political life of the society both in material and spiritual sense. The paper traces the root of the present Nigerian type of education to …

Biofertilizers: Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow
Abstract: India, being an agriculture-based country, there has always been a concern about crop improvement here. Chemical fertilizers increased crops yield, but eventually leached out soil, polluted water basins, degraded ecosystems, reducing soil fertility and thus causing damage to overall environment. Organic fertilizers are costlier and they released nutrients in the surrounding environment thus degrading soil and water quality and human health. Thus came into picture the use of GM crops …

Clinical Practice: The Differential Diagnosis of Dental Pain
Abstract: In clinical dental practice, patients often present with pain in the oral cavity. While some oral pain may be generalized in nature, the clinician has to consider other factors that involve pain and discomfort. Many symptomatic teeth do not need endodontic treatment – on the contrary, they have undiagnosed occlusal problems, caries, fractures or referred pain. For the teeth needing endodontic treatment, this paper provides several modes of diagnostic methodology. …

Historical Antecedents of Boko Haram Insurgency and Its Implications on Educational Development in Northeast Nigeria
Abstract: The Boko Haram insurgency has greatly affected the socio-economic and educational systems of Northeast Nigeria. This paper examines the historical antecedents of the insurgency, analyzing how socio-political, economic, and ideological factors have contributed to its emergence and persistence. The study highlights the enduring impact of colonial legacies, socio-economic marginalization, and governance failures, which have collectively created fertile ground for the radicalization of disenfranchised populations. The insurgency’s deliberate targeting of educational …

Deciphering the Pathophysiology of Migraine: Understanding Trigeminovascular System Activity and the Importance of the Gut-Brain Axis
Abstract: Migraine, a prevalent and disabling neurological condition, manifests in distinct phases: premonitory, aura, headache, postdrome, and interictal. Being a primary contributor to adult disability, it presents a substantial economic challenge on a global scale. Even with extensive research spanning centuries, the complete grasp of its root causes continues to evade us. This intricate neurovascular disorder primarily involves local vasodilation of intracranial and extracerebral blood vessels, coupled with simultaneous stimulation of …
