Read More Among the abiotic stress, salinity is conceived as a detrimental environmental stress that impairs crop production worldwide. The pot experiment was conducted at the Agricultural research field of the IUBAT, Dhaka during the period from January to April 2022 to assess the impacts of different concentrations of salt on the growth and yield of okra. The experiment followed a completely randomized design with three replications. The growth and yield components exhibited significant variations across different treatment groups. This study reveals the intricate dynamics of plant growth, mortality, leaf number, flowering, fruit set, and fruit yield in response to a range of nitrobenzene and salinity treatments during different developmental stages. Notably, the control group (T0) demonstrated remarkable resilience, particularly in later stages, compared to that of other treatments. Nitrobenzene treatments initially showed growth-promoting potential, but this effect diminished over time, while salinity consistently hindered growth. Interestingly, the combined effect of nitrobenzene and salinity treatments revealed complex interactions, suggesting tailored strategies to optimize crop productivity. In addition, the timing of flowering and fruit setting proved to be sensitive to these treatments, highlighting the intricate relationships between salinity and nitrobenzene. The highest plant height (14.91 cm), and the maximum leaf length (10.08 cm) were observed in the T0 (Control) treatment. The T10 Salinity (100 mM) + Nitrobenzene (20%) treatment exhibited the highest fruit number, with a count of 14, while the T2 (Nitrobenzene 25%) and T9 Salinity (50mM) + Nitrobenzene (30%) treatments had the lowest fruit number, with only 1 fruit each. The maximum fruit length was observed in the T0 (Control) and T13 Salinity (150mM) + Nitrobenzene (20%) treatments during the first stage of harvesting, measuring 7.2 cm and 7.26 cm, respectively, while the T13 Salinity (150 mM) + Nitrobenzene (20%) treatment exhibited the highest yield of okra (91 g). The results obtained from the present study provide valuable insights into the morphological responses of Okra plants, paving the way for innovative approaches to crop management and optimizing yield under challenging environmental conditions.

Read More A long time has passed since the first experience of In Vitro propagation of olive, but the presence of very strong end dominance in the neoplasm stage, which cannot be controlled by various cytokinin treatments, has limited the possibility of propagation in vitro. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to evaluate the micro-propagation feasibility inside olive glasses of olive cultivar Kroneiki. For branching and rooting of lateral buds, the experiment was carried out as a factorial experiment based on completely randomized design with three replications. Branching factors include five types of culture media (MS, MS1/2, MSM, MSM1/2 and OM), two types of hormones (BAP and Zeatin), and three types of hormone concentrations (control, 0.5 and 1 mg/L) and there were three types of time periods. Rooting factors include five types of culture media (MS, MS1/2, MSM, MSM1/2 and OM), two types of hormone combinations (IBA and NAA), four types of hormone concentrations (control, combination of 0.2 with 0.5, combination 0.5 with 1 and a combination of 0.75 with 1.5 mg/L) and three types of time intervals. Analysis of variance was performed by Statistix10 software and the comparison of mean traits was performed using the least significant difference test. The effects of culture medium, different hormones and also different concentrations of hormones used in the period, on the number of green leaves, number of yellow leaves, fresh weight and dry weight of seedlings as well as rooting were examined , which were found different (P <0.01). The highest length of branch (1.8 cm) was obtained in MSM culture medium with BAP hormone in the third week. The highest fresh weight (0.06 g), the highest dry weight (0.003 g) and the highest amount of green leaves (55.39%) were obtained from the treatment of MSM medium with 1 ppm of BAP hormone. The highest rooting rate (95.17%) was obtained from the treatment of MS1/2 medium with 1.5 ppm of BAP hormone and 0.75 ppm of NAA hormone in the third week. The most effective culture medium and hormone on branching was MSM culture medium with 1 ppm BAP hormone and on rooting, MS1 culture medium with 1.5 ppm BAP hormone and 0.75 ppm NAA hormone.

Read More Recent Genomic research has significantly developed human knowledge on structural non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) which folds into characteristic secondary structures and performs specific-structure dependent biological functions. Hence, RNA secondary structure prediction is among the most commonly evaluated issues in computational RNA biology. The aim of the present study is to introduce the key role of RNA motifs in biological processes. Such motifs are specifically effective in regulating gene expression, maintaining structure and strength of RNA molecule, splicing the early mRNA, and providing the most appropriate recognition site for protein binding. Doing research and analyzing RNA motifs requires using several methods and algorithms which can provide the structure and properties of these building blocks in organisms. Generally, the most successful computational methods used in organizing RNA include the QRNA, RNAz, and CMfinder algorithms, which correlate nucleotides and other features of RNA structure formation and maintenance. In plants, RNA Recognition Motif (RRM), an 80- amino acid protected motif, is one of the most abundant protein motifs in eukaryotes. This motif has various important roles like participating in growth processes and responding to stresses in plants, and accelerating different metabolic processes. In addition, further analysis of ORRM family members represented presence of ORRM2, ORRM3 and ORRM4 acting as RNA editing factors in mitochondria as well as ORRM6 which is a chloroplast RNA editing factor. Among the construction motifs, the Pseudoknot motif which contributes to several biological activities such as altering expression of pathogenic genes in some viruses and formation of telomerase and self-truncating introns is of great significance, since these are important breeding factors in biotechnology. Based on the results of the study, it can be proposed that further studies on bioinformatics analysis of plant motifs are required to be implemented to open new windows on controlling pathogens in plants.
