Plastid structure, chlorophyll concentration, and free amino acid composition of a chlorophyll mutant of barley
Sally Maclachlan,Saul Zalik +1 more
TLDR
It is suggested that the mutation alters the lipoprotein of lamellar structures in the plastid, and that other effects are consequential.Abstract:
Biochemical properties and chloroplast fine-structure of a viridis mutant of Gateway barley are described. The mutant was deficient in chlorophyll and carotenoids when young but developed nearly no...read more

Effects of sewage sludge amendment on heavy metal accumulation and consequent responses of Beta vulgaris plants
Rajeev Singh,Madhoolika Agrawal +1 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that sewage sludge amendment in soil for growing palak may not be a good option due to risk of contamination of Cd, Ni and Zn and also due to lowering of yield at higher mixing ratio.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of air pollution on peri-urban agriculture: a case study.
TL;DR: It is concluded that air pollution in Varanasi could negatively influence crop yield and the magnitude of response involved all three gaseous pollutants at peri-urban sites; O(3) had more influence at a rural site.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of arsenic on photosynthesis, growth and yield of five widely cultivated rice (Oryza sativa L.) varieties in Bangladesh
TL;DR: Well correlations were observed between chlorophyll content and rice growth and yield suggesting that arsenic toxicity affects the photosynthesis which ultimately results in the reduction of rice growthand yield.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nickel toxicity and peroxidase activity in seedlings of Triticum aestivum L.
TL;DR: In this paper, Ni2+ toxicity was evaluated in Triticum aestivum L. by its effects on root and shoot length, dry matter production and water content, and the degree of toxicity increases as a function of the Ni 2+ concentration in the medium.
Journal ArticleDOI
Air pollution tolerance index of plants
TL;DR: In this paper, the air pollution tolerance index (APTI) of 69 plant species, including herbs shrubs and trees, growing in the urban-industrial Lahartara region of Varanasi were estimated.

Electron microscope study of DNA-containing plasms. II. Vegetative and mature phage DNA as compared with normal bacterial nucleoids in different physiological states.
TL;DR: The nucleoids of Escherichia coli are shown to be preserved as a fine-stranded fibrillar nucleoplasm by an OsO4 fixation under defined conditions: acetate-veronal buffer pH 6, presence of Ca++ and amino acids, stabilization with uranyl-acetate before dehydration.

Chlorophyll Mutations in Barley
TL;DR: In this paper, Chlorophyll Mutations in Barley are discussed. But they do not discuss the effects of the chlorophyll mutations on the Barley crop.
Journal ArticleDOI
Participation of the cytoplasmic membrane in the growth and spore formation of bacilli
TL;DR: A polyester embedding technique was used to study the early stages of spore formation in members of the genus Bacillus in order to investigate further the origin and nature of the initial spore septum and the resulting forespore envelope.
Journal ArticleDOI
Criteria for purity of chlorophyll preparations
TL;DR: The primary purpose of this paper is to establish satisfactory criteria for several chlorophyll preparations, especially with reference to their absorption of light, of fundamental importance in assays of pigment mixtures by spectroscopic means.
