It contains huge amount of protein and have high nutritional value. The most important viral diseases of Mungbean are the Mungbean yellow mosaic and urdbean leaf crinkle viruses. Yield and quality of seed is affected by these two diseases. The screening studies were completed in research area of Plant Pathology Research Institute, Faisalabad during 2020-2021. Thirteen Mungbean lines/varieties were tested against both diseases. A check Mungbean Kabuli was sown after every two test entries. In case of yellow mosaic virus 02 lines (TM1601 &amp;TM1742) were found highly resistant, 04 lines (TM1608, TM1609,TM1714 &amp;TM1723) showed the moderately resistant type of reaction, 04 lines (TM1730, TM1745, TM1748&amp;TM1751) were found moderately susceptible ,02 were susceptible(TM1717 &amp; TM1722) and Mungbean were found highly susceptible. The level of resistance was 10.52% while of moderately resistance was 21.05%. In case of urdbean leaf crinkle virus 02 lines (TM1609&amp; TM1748) were found resistant, 06 lines (TM1608, TM1722, TM1723,TM1730, TM1742 &amp; TM1745) exhibited moderately resistant, 04 lines (TM1601, TM1717, TM1723 &amp;TM1730) showed moderately susceptible, 02 lines ( TM1714 &amp; TM1751) were found susceptible and Mungbean responded highly susceptible type of reaction. The level of resistance was 10.52 while moderately resistant was also 31.57 %.

ASSESMENT OF GENETIC DIVERSITY ON THE BASE OF MORPHOLOGICAL TRAITS AMONG ELITE GENOTYPES OF WATERMELON (Citrullus SP.) IN PAKISTAN

Total production of watermelon is 110 MT (million tonnes) worldwide, with China being the largest producer, accounting for 60% of total production, followed by Iran and Turkey. The genetic diversity in existed in watermelon enabled it to grow all over the world. The experiment conducted in Vegetable Research Station Sahiwal for two years 2021-2022 to assess the genetic diversity. Six different watermelon varieties tested for genetic variation. The experiment was conducted in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications. The data were recorded include main vine length, branch number, fruit number, fruit weight (kg) rind thickness and seed number. The ANOVA confirmed significant variation between them. The cluster analysis identified genotypes with similarities and variations. The cluster analysis revealed a diversity (54-42%) to (8-27%) among watermelon ...

VARIATIONS AMONG MAIZE (Zea Mays L.) HYBRIDS IN RESPONSE TO HEAT STRESS: HYBRIDS SELECTION CRITERIA

An effective way to cope this problem is the development of climate smart, heat resilient maize hybrids through evaluating the cultivated germplasm. The main objective of current study was to evaluate local and multinational maize hybrids for their performance under optimal and heat stress conditions and to devise a selection criterion for the identification of heat tolerant maize hybrids. Nine maize hybrids, including local and multinational, were evaluated under optimal and heat stress conditions across three consecutive spring seasons (2017-18, 2018-19 and 2019-20) at Maize and Millets Research Institute, Yusafwala, Sahiwal. Results revealed the presence of highly significant differences among maize hybrids under both conditions and for all three seasons. Kernel yield was found to be highly correlated with net photosynthetic rate (0.735 ** ), shelling percentage (0.910 ** ) and relative cell injury percentage (-0.775 ** ) under stress conditions. Cluster and biplot analysis unveiled that two local maize hybrids YH-5507 and YH-5427 were highly heat tolerant while multinational hybrids i.e. NK-8711, P-1543 and DK-6724 were highly productive under control/optimal conditions only. These hybrids can be invaluable sources of genes/alleles for the development of climate smart maize genotypes.

This study aims to report the synthesis of microcapsules from natural essential peppermint oil and their application to a bleached polyester and cotton (PC) blended fabric. Design/methodology/approach Microcapsules were prepared by a complex coacervation process and applied through the conventional pad-dry-cure method. The liquid suspension of the microcapsules was examined by optical microscopy to investigate the surface morphology of the microcapsules. Scanning electron microscopy was used to examine the surface morphology of the fabric after the application of the microcapsules. The finished fabric was checked for its mosquito repellent activity at the lab scale using a standard test protocol (cage test) by inserting a human arm and hand enfolded with microcapsules treated fabric. Findings PC fabric treated with 6% microencaps...

The Sonochemical Impregnation of Silver Particles into Fluff Pulp for Enhanced Antimicrobial Efficacies

Upon finding cherished results for such characteristics through different assays, it may be concluded that the protection against the bacterial and fungal infections can be improved and hence the contact time of such products with the body. Whereas, the overall appalling effects on health could also be reduced by application of such materials. The cotton fluff pulp was extracted from commercial diapers and without any further treatment, the loading of silver particles through chemical and sonochemical methods was established. The characterization of the material for silver-ion loadings was accomplished via using multiple instrumental techniques majorly UV-Visible spectrophotometer, thrmogravemetric analysis and elemental analysis whereas, for antimicrobial efficacies, disc diffusion method was incorpo...
