Abstract

Four genotypes of rice (Dandi, CSR-1, IR-36 and GR-3), differing in salt tolerance were grown at 3 and 5 EC (dSm-1) salinity to study the effect of salinity at seedling (15 DAG) stage. The RAPD study indicated total 50.97% polymorphism and the maximum polymorphic loci was obtained by OP-D-8. Dandi at 3 EC and 5 EC recorded 100 per cent band sharing whereas the maximum genetic distance was recorded between CSR-1 (control) and GR-3 (5 EC) salinity. The polymorphisms in RAPDs are useful to study gene expression due to salinity in different rice cultivars.

Abstract

The present investigation was conducted with a view to screen out the effect of different edible dye concentration and time duration of immersion on vase life and quality of candytuft cut flowers. The shades of colour deepened as the concentration and time of immersion were increased. Similar results were obtained in all edible dyes, without affecting physiological processes. The shades retained at the end of vase life by the inflorescences for all dyes. There was no significant difference found in the various treatments, indicating that there is no adverse significant effect of dye concentration, time of immersion and combination of both factors on the vase life and quality of cut flowers of candytuft.
