Some biochemical parameters associated with the pod borer Helioth is armiqera (Hubner) resistance of piqeonpea cultivars, with a varying maturity and deqree of succeplibj1ity to pod borer, were studied at two qrowth staqes. The pods of twelve varieties of pigeonpea, viz., 1CPL-87, UPAS 120, TAT-10, ICPL 151 (early), PT 2U-10, PT 20-3, TV-1, PI' 17-2 (Midlate) ...
The present investigations were undertaken to study the influence of heat treatments and storage on the changes in quality of proteins and oil of groundnut kernels. The groundnut kernels (cv.C-1-2) of freshly harvested produce were subjected to roasting (160°C for 30 min) and frying (2 min in boiling groundnut oil) treatments and stored up to 150 days at ambie...
Present research work was undertaken to standardize a procedure for extraction of mucilage from stem, cortex, fruit and leaves of okra cultivars and to screen the edible and wild type of okra varieties for their mucilage content. The mature plants of eleven edible/cultivated and four wild species of okra were collected from the Post Graduate research farm, at M...
The Present investigation entitled “Biochemical analysis of Bt cotton hybrids for sucking pest tolerance” was mainly focused for analyzing the biochemical constituents and the level of sucking pest tolerance at different growth stages. The total polyphenol content in the leaves of Bt cotton hybrids ranged from 2.56 to 6.05 mg g-1 fr.wt. at 30 DAS. with maximum of 6...
