Alterations in the Phosphorus Metabolism During Seed Germination of Simarouba glauca

Phosphorus (P) is the second most important macronutrient for plant growth and is responsible for plant metabolism. Phosphorus is an important component of nucleic acid and also a component of phospholipids as a basic requirement for cellular organization and function as a membrane building block. Plants respond to Plant Growth Regulators (PGRs) in phosphorus content in a variety of ways. A study was conducted to assess the activities of acid and alkaline phosphatases on seed germination and seedling growth in response to various PGRs of S. glauca at different time intervals. Seeds were subjected to 100 ppm solutions of various PGRs, which include GA, 6-BA, CCC, SA, Cysteine, and Methionine. The activity of the enzymes ATPase, acid phosphatase, and alkaline phosphatase increases in response to the most of PGRs

Effects of plant growth regulators on the carbohydrate accumulation in Simarouba glauca seedlings

A study was conducted to assess the accumulation of carbohydrate in germinating seeds as well as leaves, stem and roots of Simarouba glauca in response to various Plant Growth Regulators (PGRs). Field experiment was carried out to investigate effect of foliar application of PGRs like 6-benzylaminopurine (6-BA), gibberellic acid (GA), chlormequat (CCC), salicylic acid (SA), cysteine and methionine with 5 and 20 ppm concentration on carbohydrate content of Simarouba glauca DC whereas Seeds were subjected to 100 ppm solutions of various PGRs, which include GA, 6-BA, CCC, SA, Cysteine, and Methionine. It could be concluded that application of PGRs affect the carbohydrate metabolism or synthesis. Thus, the application of growth regulators in present study will be beneficial for induction of synthesis of primary metabolic products followed by synthesis of secondary metabolites of S. glauca

ASCERTAINING ROLE AND IMPORTANCE OF ARTIFICIAL DIET AND BOTANICALS MEDIATED SERIFEED FOR THE STRENGTHENING OF SERICULTURE INDUSTRY

The nutritional value of mulberry leaves depends on a number of agroclimatic conditions, and any nutrient deficiency in the leaves reduces the silkworm's ability to produce silk. A diet rich in nutrient-dense leaves is necessary for the better growth and development of silkworm larvae as well as the production of high-quality cocoons. The additional sources of nutrients are required to fulfil the nutritional requirements in many insects, that will help to assess the importance of and the impact of various fortification agents in silkworm nutrition. Numerous efforts have been done in recent years to increase the quantity and quality of silk. These efforts have included adding nutrients to the leaves, spraying with antibiotics, juvenile hormone (JH), plant products, and steroids, employing JH-mimic principles, or using plant extracts. To improve silk quality and quantity, mulberry leaves have been treated with a variety of nutrients for silkworm feeding. In sericulture research, fortification and supplementing of mulberry leaves are relatively new methods. The sericulture industry has taken use of how nutrition affects the way silk glands work, which has an impact on how they function economically, to increase silk production. The current review was aimed to explore numerous medicinal botanicals, artificial diet-based silkworm rearing, and various artificial diet preparation elements
