Genotype x environment interaction and stability of indigenous coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.) genotypes for seed yield in different agro-climatic zones of Chhattisgarh

The present study was conducted to find out the stability and yield performances of 13 genotypes of indigenous coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.) evaluated in different agro climatic zones of Chhattisgarh. The trials were laid out in a Randomized Block Design (RBD) with three replications at three locations for three years resulting in nine environments (Genotype × year interactions). The genotypes and G × E interactions revealed significant differences at p <0.01 for seed yield indicating varieties and testing environments were distinct from each other. Additive main effects and multiplicative interaction analysis (AMMI-biplot) indicated that the yield performances of indigenous coriander genotypes were highly affected by the environments. The first two principal component axes (PCA 1 and PCA 2) were significant and they explained 67% of the total genotype x environment interaction of which 42.4% and 24.6% were represented by PCA 1 and PCA 2, respectively. A biplot generated using genotypic and environmental scores of the first two AMMI components demonstrated that genotype with larger PCA 1 and lower PCA 2 scores were high yielding and stable genotypes and genotypes with lower PCA 1 and larger PCA 2 scores were low yielding and unstable cultivars in tested locations. The genotype GC 5 C-101 (ICS 4) showed higher grain yields (16.35 q ha-1) over grand mean (13.03 q ha-1) and also had the minimum PCA 1 score, minimum AMMI stability value (ASV) and yield stability index (YSI). Therefore genotype ICS 4 (Chhattisgarh Shri Chandrahasini Dhaniya -2) showed wider stability across different agro climatic environments of Chhattisgarh

Gui Based Health Monitoring System Using Raspberry Pi

Now-a-days health problems like cardiac failure, lungfailuresheart related diseases are arising day by day at a very high rate. Due to these problems time to time health monitoring is very essential. A modern concept is health monitoring of a patient wirelessly. It is a major development in medical arena. Thus paper based on the monitoring of the patient that is done by the doctor continuously without actually visiting the patient. Health professionals have developed a brilliantandinexpensive healthmonitoringsystem for providing more comfortable living to the people suffering from various diseases using leading technologies like wireless communications,wearable andportableremote health monitoring device. As a result, visits of doctors to the patients constantly are decreasedas the information regarding patient's health directly reaches to doctor's monitor screen from anywhere the patient resides. Also, based on this doctors can save many lives by imparting them a quick valuable service. In this, IoT is becoming a major platform for many services applications, also using Raspberry Pi not just as a sensor node but also a controller here. Paper propose a generic health monitoring system as astep forwardto the progress made in this department tillnow

Growth Analysis of Coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.) as Influenced by Different Sowing Dates and Planting Geometry in Chhattisgarh Plains Zone

An experiment was conducted to assess the effect of different sowing dates and planting geometry on coriander during the winter seasons of 2020-21 and 2021-22 at Instructional farm, College of Agriculture and Research Station, IGKV, Raigarh, Chhattisgarh. The experiment was laid out in split-plot design, comprised of four date of sowing viz., D1: 25th October, D2: 10th November, D3: 25th November and D4: 10th December as main plot and four planting geometries viz., S1: 30 x 5 cm, S2: 30 x 7.5 cm, S3: 30 x 10 cm and S4: 30 x 12.5 cm as sub-plot, and replicated trice. Influence of above treatments on crop was studied regarding growth parameters of coriander and analyzed statistically. The result showed that the crop sown on 25th October recorded significantly higher growth parameters viz., plant height, number of branches, dry matter accumulation, crop growth rate and relative growth rate. Among planting geometry, sowing of coriander at 30 x 12.5 cm spacing produced significantly taller plants, higher number of branches plant-1, dry matter accumulation plant-1, crop growth rate and relative growth rate. Coriander sown on 25th October interacted with the 30 x 12.5 cm spacing and registered significantly higher dry matter accumulation

Sex determination using cheiloscopy and mandibular canine index as a tool in forensic dentistry

Identification of a person′s individuality and sex determination are important for legal as well as identification purposes. The aim of the present study was to check the reliability of cheiloscopy and mandibular canine index (MCI) in the determination of sex in an individual. The aim of this study is to analyze different lip patterns reproduced by the natural dye (vermilion) and lysochrome (Sudan Black II) dyes and to compare the MCI in males and females for the determination of sex and to check the reliability of cheiloscopy and MCI for the same. Latent lip prints were developed using natural dye (vermilion) and lysochrome (Sudan Black II) dyes and their patterns categorized according to Tsuchihashi′s classification. MCI were calculated. Analysis of the two was performed. According to discriminant functional analysis, percentage accuracy for cheiloscopy in the determination of sex was found to be 55% while for MCI, the same value was 85%. Natural dye (vermilion) was found as an efficient dye compared to lysochrome (Sudan Black II) dyes for the development of latent lip prints. Both the dyes showed Type I lip print pattern to be common in males and females. Furthermore, all the parameters in MCI were found to be significant in the determination of sex in an individual. The results of the present study revealed MCI to be more reliable in the determination of sex than cheiloscopy
