Critical review on therapeutic value of oranges (citrus sinensis)

Oranges are rich source of antioxidants including pholiphenolic compounds flavonoids, carotenoids, and vitamin C. These antioxidants have anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties that help protect cells from damage. Oranges are also high in fiber, folate, and potassium, which can support heart health and prevent neural tube defects in unborn babies.

Synthesis and characterization of zinc oxide nanoparticles doped with divalent manganese by green route using plant extract

This work describes a novel green and ecofriendly technique for manufacture of pure and metal doped zinc oxide nanoparticles utilising aloe vera plant extract. The microwave approach was used to biosynthesize pure and 1.5 wt% Mg doped nanostructured zinc oxide utilising high purity metal nitrates and aloe vera plant extract.

Recognition of quinoa as complete protein: essential amino acid content of quinoa

Quinoa is a type of edible seed that comes in various colours including black, red, yellow, and white. It is classified as a whole grain and is a good source of plant protein and fiber. Unlike some plant proteins, quinoa is a complete protein, it contains all nine essential amino acids that our bodies cannot make on their own. Quinoa is also naturally gluten-free and can be eaten safely if one has gluten intolerance. Quinoa is loaded with vitamins and minerals and contains more fiber and protein than most other grains.

Influence of crossing techniques on production of quality seed in bhendi

An investigation was carried out in JF-55 (Male parent) & Pusa Sawani (Female parent) to find out the effect of emasculation and bud pollination in comparison with emasculation and conventional pollination technique. The Crossing Techniques (CT) were evaluated for the crossing period of seven weeks and analysed for fruit set, seed yield and seed quality characters at weekly intervals. The results revealed that irrespective of the crossing period, bud pollination recorded 6% higher fruit set than conventional pollination.

Effect of seed priming techniques on productivity of maize hybrid coh (m)6

Studies were initiated to evaluate the influence of seed priming technique (Humic acid 20%, Carbendazim 2%, Imidachlobrid 3% and hydro priming technique) in conjunction with crop management techniques along with NPK application in Maize COHM 6. Seeds primed with Humic acid 20%, maintained the germination above the seed certification standard with higher seedling quality characters and lesser deteriorative observations compared to unprimed seed of COHM 6.

Role of genetics in ageing, longevity and ways to reverse ageing

Ageing is a normal process in all living organisms including human. With the progress of ageing physiological functions of different organs of the body become slower leading to many age-related diseases that are responsible for shortening of longevity. But this reduction of ageing varies from individual to individual. This diversity of changes in ageing process has come to the mind of scientists to find out some factors that regulate ageing both at the cellular and genetic levels.

Studies on physical properties of selected varieties of parboiled rice popular in Chhattisgarh for rice puffing

This study was undertaken to generate useful information regarding the physical properties of parboiled rice. Under this study, three parboiled rice varieties, namely IR1010, Mahamaya and Swarna were selected, which are commonly used for the preparation of puffed rice in the Chhattisgarh state of India.
