Soil salinity is a major constraint that limits legume productivity. Pigeonpea is a salt sensitive crop. Seed gamma irradiation at a very low dose (2.5 Gy) is known to enhance seedling establishment, plant growth and yield of cereals and other crops. The present study conducted using two genetically
Landfill leachates containing heavy metals are important contaminants and a matter of great concern due to the effect that they might have on ecosystems. We evaluated the use of Cajanus cajan to remove chromium and lead from landfill leachates. Eight-week-old plants were submitted to varied tests to
BACKGROUND
A large number of studies have proven that Protease inhibitors (PIs), specifically serine protease inhibitors, show immense divergence in regulation of proteolysis by targeting their specific proteases and hence, they play a key role in healthcare.
OBJECTIVE
We aimed to access in-vitro
A simple, reliable medium for pollen germination of Cajanus cajan was developed by modifying Brewbaker and Kwack (BK) medium. Past attempts of C. cajan pollen germination in artificial media were not successful. A medium containing polyethylene glycol 4000 (PEG) showed more than 90% germination for
This paper studied the effects of planting pattern and bare rock ratio on the spatial distribution of soil nutrients in Karst depression area of northwest Guangxi. The results showed that planting pattern had significant effects on soil organic carbon (SOC), total nitrogen (TN), total phosphorus
For increasing pigeonpea production in India, it is necessary to expand its area in non-traditional areas such as north-eastern states, which have considerable area under acidic soils. In such soils, aluminium toxicity, which is a major yield limiting factor, interferes with nutrient uptake
The nutritive potentials of some cowpea varieties such as Ife Brown, Ife Bimpe, IT84E-124, K59 and TVX716 and some under-utilized edible legumes grown in Nigeria such as pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan), lima bean (Phaseolus lunatus), lablab bean (Dolichos lablab), mucuna bean (Mucuna sp.) and
