Biosorption is a promising alternative method to treat industrial effluents, mainly because of its low cost and high metal binding capacity. In this work, Zinc and Chromium biosorption process by Sargassum sp. seaweed biomass was studied. The work considered the determination parameters of Zinc and Chromium sorption such as pH, temperature, agitation speed and biomass size. The optimum conditions were: pH3, temperature (303k) room temperature, biomass size 0.5mm and agitation speed 150rpm. The maximum uptake of Chromium and Zinc is 65% and 53% respectively. The kinetic study revealed that the adsorption of Chromium and zinc by Sargassum sp. fitted the Langmuir isotherm.Keywords

Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in women. Ring finger protein 110 was involved in the development of oncogenes, which mediate protein-protein interactions and involved in the formation of multi protein complexes. The investigation of this study reveals the modeling of the 3D structure of the protein with the final refinement of -700.41KJ/Mol. Casuarinin, a hydrolysable tannin isolated from the bark of Terminalia arjuna was investigated for its antiproliferative activity in human breast Adenocarcinoma. The energy value -40.87 Kcal/ mol and the Rms score value -1.00 showed the hydrolysable tannin (Casuarinin) has higher specificity and efficiency towards the target protein ring finger 110.Keywords

Hydrazinium salts of aromatic carboxylic acids were prepared by neutralization of acid with hydrazine hydrate and characterized by analytical, IR spectral and TG-DTA analysis. All the compounds undergo decomposition yielding carbon residue as the end product. The in vitro antibacterial study of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid and its hydrazinium salt against Escherichia Coli have been investigated and the results show that the as-prepared hydrazinium salts have better antibacterial activity than the free acid.Keywords

In Tiruvallur district, Tamil Nadu paddy crop is cultivated in 96000 hectares with the production of 3.9 lakh tonnes. In Tiruvallur district number of operational holdings under marginal (0.00 – 0.99 ha) category is 185059 and under small farmers category is 22572. Effective utilization of farm waste in mushroom cultivation, as an allied agricultural activity under integrated farming system in doubling the income of farmers is being insisted by conducting skill oriented trainings to facilitate the complete knowledge of mushroom production activity on commercial scale in KVK, Tirur, Tiruvallur district. The present study was conducted to assess the impact of vocational training programme on knowledge about mushroom production in commercial scale and for self-employment at Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Tirur, Tiruvallur district Tamil Nadu. The results of the study revealed that knowledge gained from various lectures and demonstrations on mushroom production technologies was analysed by conducting pre and post evaluation tests and the results depicted that the post evaluation scores of gain in knowledge of various practices ranged from 64.00 to 98.00 per cent. The adoption of mushroom production on commercial scale by the participants was evaluated periodically and among the 37 participants of vocational training, 11 participants (29.72%) have started mushroom production at cottage level and are practicing sincerely. Thus, it can be inferred that exposure to training had increased the knowledge of participants regarding mushroom production. The technical support and supply of oyster and milky mushroom spawn through KVK is being facilitated to the farmers and rural youth of Tiruvallur district.Keywords

Chilli is famous for its pleasant aromatic flavour, pungency and high colouring substance. Among the spices, dry chilli contributes the major share in India (Revanappa et al., 1998). It is one of the important spices used very widely in culinary, pharmaceutical and beverage industries throughout the world. Chilli, both in ripe and green stage is an important condiment used for imparting pungency.India has emerged today as the foremost producer and exporter of chilli contributing to almost one fourth of world production. Number of plant growth regulators have been tried to control flower and fruit drop and to increase yields of Solanaceous crops like tomato, brinjal etc., but very little work has been done on chilli. Foliar application of NAA 40 ppm resulted in early flowering i.e., 34 days after transplanting. The treatment with NAA 40 ppm recorded the maximum number of flowers, fruits, fruit set, fruit length, fruit girth and 10 fruit weight.Keywords

Following the detection of an incongruity in the nomenclature of sugarcane web mite Schizotetranychus andropogoni (Hirst) (Acari: Tetranychidae), we collected web mite samples from commercial hybrids of sugarcane and Saccharum spontaneum in parts of Tamil Nadu and Kerala States, India. Acarologists identified these samples as Schizotetranychus krungthepensis Naing & Auger (Acari: Tetranychidae), originally described from Thailand in 2014. To provide molecular evidence to distinguish S. krungthepensis from S. andropogoni, we subjected sequences of 5.8S rRNA and mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I (mtCOI) genes of both species available in NCBI database to Molecular Evolutionary Genetics Analysis (MEGA6). The analysis produced phylogenetic trees with distinct clusters for S. andropogoni and S. krungthepensis, albeit with some exceptions, thus providing evidence to consider S. krungthepensis a species distinctly different from S. andropogoni. In view of the possible threat of S. krungthepensis to sugarcane cultivation in the country, we outline the basic course of action needed to manage the pest if it were to assume more serious proportions than the native species it appears to be displacingFull Text
