Physiological Responses and Salt Tolerance Evaluation of Different Varieties of Bougainvillea under Salt Stress.

Soil salinization significantly impacts the ecological environment and agricultural production, posing a threat to plant growth. Currently, there are over 400 varieties of Bougainvillea with horticultural value internationally. However, research on the differences in salt tolerance among Bougainvillea varieties is still insufficient. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the physiological responses and tolerance differences of various Bougainvillea varieties under different concentrations of salt stress, reveal the effects of salt stress on their growth and physiology, and study the adaptation mechanisms of these varieties related to salt stress. The experimental materials consisted of five varieties of Bougainvillea. Based on the actual salinity concentrations in natural saline-alkali soils, we used a pot-controlled salt method for the experiment, with four treatment concentrations set: 0.0% (w/v) (CK), 0.2% (w/v), 0.4% (w/v), and 0.6% (w/v). After the Bougainvillea plants grew stably, salt stress was applied and the growth, physiology, and salt tolerance of the one-year-old plants were systematically measured and assessed. The key findings were as follows: Salt stress inhibited the growth and biomass of the five varieties of Bougainvillea; the 'Dayezi' variety showed severe salt damage, while the 'Shuihong' variety exhibited minimal response. As the salt concentration and duration of salt stress increase, the trends of the changes in antioxidant enzyme activity and osmotic regulation systems in the leaves of the five Bougainvillea species differ. Membrane permeability and the production of membrane oxidative products showed an upward trend with stress severity. The salt tolerance of the five varieties of Bougainvillea was comprehensively evaluated through principal component analysis. It was found that the 'Shuihong' variety exhibited the highest salt tolerance, followed by the 'Lvyehuanghua', 'Xiaoyezi', 'Tazi', and 'Dayezi' varieties. Therefore, Bougainvillea 'Shuihong', 'Lvyehuanghua', and 'Xiaoyezi' are recommended for extensive cultivation in saline-alkali areas. The investigation focuses primarily on how Bougainvillea varieties respond to salt stress from the perspectives of growth and physiological levels. Future research could explore the molecular mechanisms behind the responses to and tolerance of different Bougainvillea varieties as to salt stress, providing a more comprehensive understanding and basis for practical applications.

ADAPTABILITY TEST OF EIGHT (08) COWPEA CULTIVARS (VIGNA UNGUICULATA (L.)) IN THE HIGH GUINEAN SAVANNAH ZONE OF CAMEROON

Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp) is one of the World’s major legumes that has a major role in human and livestock nutrition due to its high protein content which varies from 22 to 30% of the dry weight of grains and leaves, from 13 to 17% in haulms. It is cultivated mostly in the Tropical and Subtropical region of Africa. In Cameroon, the cultivated area is 38.000 ha with a yield of 0.827 tons/ha for a production of 31.000 tons, with the Far North as the main supplier of this production in order to develop the Cowpea sector in the high Guinean savannah zone. The study is conducted in the locality of Bini-Dang (Ngaoundéré) on eight Cowpea cultivars introduce. The experiment consisted on a genotypic evaluation of different varieties which are selected. The experimental setup is a randomized block with 3 repetitions. The analyses of variance showed a significant difference on genotypic parameters: the emergence rate, onset of flowering at 50%, the maturation at 50%, the number of leaves, the height of plants, the number of fruiting nodes, the number of pods, the length of pods, the number of seeds per pod, the hundred seed weight and the yield per plant of the different varieties. The results showed the best performing varieties on yield like TN-27-80 (3576 kg/ha) and TN985-1399 (3269 kg/ha) and IT99K573-1-2 (3000 kg/ha). The variables on the agronomic parameters are all credible to operate the selection because of their broad sense of heritabilities for all the variabilities with h2 comprised between 0.63 and 0.98. The correlation among studied parameters is significant (P˂0.05) and positive for the number of fruiting nodes and number of leaves per plant, the number of pods, the number of seeds per pod and the yield. The weight of hundred seed and the length of pod is significantly negative between the plant height and the number of leaves. This study shows the possibility of expanding Cowpea cultivation on this high Guinean savannah zone by using the eight cultivars tested.

Quantitative and Differential Analysis between Bupleurum chinense DC. and Bupleurum scorzonerifolium Willd. Using HPLC-MS and GC-MS Coupled with Multivariate Statistical Analysis.

Bupleurum chinense DC. and Bupleurum scorzonerifolium Willd. have different clinical efficacies, with the former typically used to treat typhoid fever and the latter mainly used to clear liver heat. The differences in their clinical efficacy are closely related to their complex chemical composition, especially the active components. In this study, the saponins and volatile oils in two varieties of Radix Bupleuri grown in different regions were extracted and analyzed using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (MS), and the absolute contents of five saikosaponins were accurately quantified using an established HPLC-MS method in the multiple reaction monitoring mode. Multivariate statistical analysis was performed to reveal the difference in the active components between the two varieties. The saikosaponin content was significantly affected by variety and growing region, with all five saikosaponins being significantly higher in Bupleurum chinense DC. than in Bupleurum scorzonerifolium Willd. The results of principal component analysis and hierarchical cluster analysis show a clear distinction between the two varieties in terms of both saponins and volatile oils. Twenty-one saponins, including saikosaponin b2 and b1, and fifty-two volatile oils, including 2-tetradecyloxirane and chloromethyl cyanide, were screened and identified as differential compounds contributing to the significant difference between the two varieties. These compounds may also be responsible for the difference in clinical efficacy between Bupleurum chinense DC. and Bupleurum scorzonerifolium Willd. All the results suggest that the accumulation and diversity of active components in Radix Bupleuri are significantly affected by the variety. In contrast to previous reports, this study provides the absolute contents of five saikosaponins in Radix Bupleuri of different varieties and reduces the influence of the growing region on the analytical results by collecting samples from different regions. The results of this study may provide a reference for the identification and quality evaluation of different varieties of Radix Bupleuri.

Quality Evaluation of Different Varieties of Fresh-edible Waxy Corns Based on Entropy Weight Method and Grey Interconnect Degree Analysis

The quality characteristics of 17 fresh eating waxy corn varieties were studied based on their quality and structure characteristics. The former included the content of moisture, starch, amylose and amylopectin, total sugar, dietary fiber, crude protein and crude fat, while the latter included the value of hardness, elasticity, cohesion, adhesiveness and chewiness. In order to screen out the core evaluation index, correlation analysis and principal component analysis were applied in this process. The entropy weight method was to assign weight to each index. And the grey correlation degree method was to comprehensively evaluate the quality. The results showed that there were differences in quality of different fresh-edible waxy corns. The texture properties had a good correlation with amylose and amylopectin. Four core evaluation indicators of fresh waxy corn were determined by principal component analysis; amylopectin, total sugar, moisture and crude fat. The weight value of amylopectin was the highest by the entropy method. The varieties with better comprehensive quality were ‘Wannuo2000’, ‘Sukenuo1702’ and ‘Sukenuo1505’ with the grey correlation analysis. The results would provide theoretical support for the evaluation of comprehensive quality and screening of fresh waxy corn variety.

Seed health evaluation of Different varieties of Lentil by incubation methods

Seeds of lentil harbour the seed borne mycoflora which adversely affect the germination and seedling vigour. Five varieties of lentil and one local variety were taken in the present investigation to assess the seed health by incubation methods. In this study, varying degree and types of mycoflora associated with lentil seeds were recorded. The mycoflora recorded were Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus niger, Penicillium sp., Trichoderma sp., Nigrospora sp., Chaetomium globosum, Alternaria alternata, Curvularia lunata, Fusarium sp., and Rhizopus stolonifer. In most of the methods, poor germination was observed in local variety, may be due to presence of seed associated mycoflora with higher frequencies whereas JL-3 variety has higher germination due to lower frequencies of detected mycoflora as compared to other varieties of lentil taken in the study.

Discrimination of filled and unfilled grains of rice panicles using thermal and RGB images

In recent days, the agricultural research community is focusing on the development of different varieties of aerobic rice, as it consumes less water for its growth. In general, the yield of a crop is considered as a critical performance metric to evaluate different varieties of rice. The count of filled grains in panicles provides a measure for the yield of a crop. The evaluation of yield is a laborious, tedious process and requires human intervention. Hence, this study aims to automate the process for differentiating filled and unfilled grains of rice across different genotypes/varieties and also to help agricultural scientists in the rapid evaluation of different varieties. More precisely, this paper proposes two novel methods that involve RGB and thermal images: (a) Discrimination based on RGB Images (DRI) (b) Discrimination based on Thermal Images (DTI). The study of proposed methods on 15 rice-panicles of different genotypes indicates that DRI method, which involves colour of grains, is found to be challenging to discriminate between filled and unfilled grains. Whereas, DTI method, which makes use of thermal images in differentiating filled and unfilled grains, is found to be profoundly convenient. The performance analysis demonstrates that the proposed DTI method, with averaged absolute errors (AAEs) in discriminating filled grains (2.66%) and unfilled grains (11.389%), outperforms the proposed DRI method with an AAEs in discriminating filled grains (10.664%) and unfilled grains (34.296%). The present investigation resulted in the development of DTI method to discriminate against the filled and unfilled grains across genotypes, and it can be used in rice improvement programs in the future.

Quality evaluation of different varieties of dry red wine based on nuclear magnetic resonance metabolomics

The metabolites that provide the aroma and flavor to wine are the products of several influences, such as grape cultivar, geographic location and associated environmental features, viticultural practices, and vinification techniques, which are central to production protocols, quality evaluation and development of wine regions. Accordingly, we initiated the requisite studies to investigate the differences in the dry red wine metabolites of different grape varieties. The proton-nuclear magnetic resonance technique (1H-NMR) combined with multivariate statistical analysis was used to investigate the changes of metabolite levels in Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Gernischt dry red wines vinified in Changli, Hebei province, China, in 2017. The results showed that the types of metabolites in different varieties of dry red wines were similar, but the content was significantly different. The main contributors to the differences in Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Gernischt dry red wines were ethyl acetate, lactic acid, alanine, succinic acid, proline, malic acid, and gallic acid, indicating 1H-NMR method combined with multivariate statistical analysis can distinguish these three types of dry red wines from each other. It provides a benchmark for further comparative study on wine quality and the verification of wine authenticity.

Nutritional evaluation of different varieties of sorghum and the effects on nursery pig growth performance.

Five experiments were conducted to determine the standardized total tract digestibility (STTD) of P, digestible energy (DE), metabolizable energy (ME), and standardized ileal digestibility (SID) of amino acids (AA) in three sorghum varieties compared with corn and to determine the effects of sorghum varieties on nursery pig growth. In exp. 1, 48 barrows (initially 18.6 kg) were housed individually in metabolism crates. Treatments were arranged in a 2 × 4 factorial evaluating two levels of microbial phytase (0 or 500 units/kg) and four grain sources (corn, high-lysine, red, or white sorghum). Added phytase improved (P < 0.05) STTD of P in all ingredients, but was not different among the grains. In exp. 2, the DE and ME in the three sorghum varieties were not different from corn. In exp. 3, 10 growing barrows (initially 25.9 kg) with a T-cannula in the terminal ileum were used. Standardized ileal digestible Lys, Met, Thr, and Val were greater (P < 0.05) in corn than in the sorghum-based diets with no differences among the sorghum varieties. In exp. 4, 160 pigs (initially 6.3 kg) were randomly allotted to one of four dietary treatments with five pigs per pen and eight replicate pens per treatment in a 20-d experiment. Dietary treatments included corn or the three sorghum varieties, where the varieties of sorghum replaced corn on an SID Lys basis. No differences among treatments were observed in any growth performance parameters. In exp. 5, treatments consisted of a corn-based diet, a diet based on conventional sorghum (a mixture of red and white sorghum), and four diets with high-lysine sorghum containing increasing amounts of feed-grade AA, replacing soybean meal. Overall, pigs fed the high-lysine sorghum diet with the greatest amount of added feed-grade AA had the poorest gain:feed ratio (G:F; P < 0.05) compared with pigs fed all the other experimental diets. Within those fed the high-lysine sorghum and feed-grade AA, average daily gain, final body weight (linear, P < 0.10), and G:F (linear, P < 0.01) decreased as feed-grade AA increased. In summary, no differences in STTD of P or in DE and ME were observed among the grain sources. The SID AA values for the three sorghum varieties were not different; however, they were all lower than for corn. These results indicate that these varieties of sorghum can successfully replace corn in nursery pig diets if diets are formulated to account for differences in AA digestibility.

Study was conducted which title is “Evaluation of different varieties of paddy for production of flaked rice” to evaluate and flaking characteristics of 4 different paddy varieties from the Department of Plant Breeding and Genetics, JNKVV Jabalpur, M.P. The moisture content of paddy varieties varied from 11.38 to 11.99% (wb). Average length, width, thickness, geometric mean diameter, aspect ratio, porosity, true density, bulk density and coefficient of friction were measured. All varieties had different dimensions, the average length varied from 8.50 to 9.90 mm, average width varied from 2.02 to 3.15 mm, Average test weight varied from 26.06 to 31.21g, Bulk density and true density varied from 0.58 to 0.68 g/ml and 1.12 to 1.45 g/ml, Angle of repose 29.34 to 32.45 respectively. The flaking characteristic was found average for different flaking parameters and best flaking was obtain by the JR-81 and Kranti varieties. It was found that moisture content, fat content, protein content was decreased and ash content was increased after processing of flaked rice. Above mentioned data showed that variety JR-81, Kranti, MTU- 1010 and IR- 64 were found best for flaked rice. Sensory quality of flaked rice was observed best quality flaked rice of JR-81 variety followed by kranti, MTU-1010 and IR-64. The physical characteristics of the rice varieties varied with higher the bulk density for Kranti and variety, which had good flaking characteristics for preparation of flaked rice. Minimum protein content of variety was observed in JR-81 and IR-64, which could be the reason for better flaking quality. Higher flaking characteristics were observed for each variety at 150-160 oC roasting temperature. flaking yield was found to be higher for JR-81 and kranti variety and was also given higher sensory score. The amylose content of kranti had similar characteristics as JR-81 and was rated high in sensory acceptability. Hence, kranti can be recommended for flaking purposes.
