Improvement of antioxidant activities and yield of spring maize through seed priming and foliar application of plant growth regulators under heat stress conditions

Semina Ciências Agrárias (2017)

Ijaz Ahmad Shehzad Maqsood Ahmed Basra Muhammad Akram Allah Wasaya Muhammad Ansar

Heat stress during reproductive and grain filling phases adversely affects the growth of cereals through reduction in grain’s number and size. However, exogenous application of antioxidants, plant growth regulators and osmoprotectants may be helpful to minimize these heat induced yield losses in cereals. This two year study was conducted to evaluate the role of exogenous application of ascorbic acid (AsA), salicylic acid (SA) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) applied through seed priming or foliar spray on biochemical, physiological, morphological and yield related traits, grain yield and quality of late spring sown hybrid maize. The experiment was conducted in the spring season of 2007 and 2008. We observed that application of AsA, SA and H2O2 applied through seed priming or foliar spray improved the physiological, biochemical, morphological and yield related traits, grain yield and grain quality of late spring sown maize in both years. In both years, we observed higher superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and peroxidase (POD) activity in the plants where AsA, SA and H2O2were applied through seed priming or foliar spray than control. Membrane stability index (MSI), relative water contents (RWC), chlorophyll contents, grain yield and grain oil contents were also improved by exogenous application of AsA, SA and H2O2 in both years. Seed priming of AsA, SA and H2O2was equally effective as the foliar application. In conclusion, seed priming with AsA, SA and H2O2 may be opted to lessen the heat induced yield losses in late sown spring hybrid maize. Heat tolerance induced by ASA, SA and H2O2 may be attributed to increase in antioxidant activities and MSI which maintained RWC and chlorophyll contents in maize resulting in better grain yield in heat stress conditions.

Diallel analysis in Rajmash

Journal of Food Legumes (2010)

Asif M. Iqbal F.A. Nehvi S.A. Wani Shahid Ahmad Dar

Combining ability study was carried out through a 10 × 10 diallel set of rajmash (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) for seed yield and its component characters. The analysis of variance revealed significant differences among the parents and their crosses for all the traits. The variance due to GCA and SCA were significant for all the traits studied, which showed importance of both additive and non-additive gene components in the inheritance of these traits. The parents ‘SKUA-R-607’, ‘SKUA-R-609’ and ‘SKUA-R-106’ showed high combining ability for yield and most of the yield attributing traits. The best cross combinations in order by merit for seed yield were ‘SKUA-R-106’ × ‘SKUAR- 153’, ‘Shalimar Rajmash-1’ × ‘SKUA-R-608’, ‘SKUA-R-607’ × ‘SKUA-R-153’, ‘SKUA-R-602’ × ‘Shalimar Rajmash-1’ and ‘SKUA-R-609’ × ‘SKUA-R-23’.

E-WOM across digital channels: A comparison of e-commerce and social media impact on consumer purchase intentions

Innovative Marketing (2024)

Mohammad Rishad Faridi Azam Malik Noor Alam Khan Asif M. Iqbal Sania Khan

This study analyzed by comparing the effect of e-WOM (electronic word-of-mouth) virtual shopping websites and e-WOM from respondents on social networks on users’ smartphone buying intentions. A research frame is established based on four e-WOM components: e-WOM source credibility, e-WOM source quality, e-WOM source attitude, and e-WOM source format toward the purchase intention of a smartphone. The effect of the independent variables was empirically tested using multiple regression analysis on the dependent variable of customer buying intention. The research was conducted in Uttar Pradesh, a province in India, with 362 respondents administering a questionnaire. Descriptive statistics, ANOVA (analysis of variance), and regression analysis were applied to interpret the source data. The results of regression factors had a strong statistical influence with a probability value of .000 and R2 of .358 according to the outcomes, suggesting that the framework described 35.8 proportion of the variance and that all the factors were major antecedents of buying intention. This study assists digital businesses in determining consumer buying trends through e-WOM on digital platforms. This study proposes a novel concept to understand how e-WOM affects customers’ buying intent from social networks and e-commerce portals. AcknowledgmentThis study is supported via funding from Prince Sattam bin Abdulaziz University project number PSAU/2024/R/1445.

Diversity analysis of highland temperate maize (Zea mays L.) inbred lines

SKUAST JOURNAL OF RESEARCH (2024)

Sania Ajaz Khan Asif M. Iqbal Asif B. Shikari Z. A. Dar Munir Ahmad Wani

The present study consisted of fifty maize inbreds which were evaluated for twelve quantitative traits.The experiment was conducted in a randomized block design with three replications at MRCFC, Khudwani, SKUAST-Kduring kharief, 2020.The analysis of variance showed significant difference for all the characters.The higher estimates of genotypic and phenotypic coefficient of variation were revealed for anthesis-silking interval followed by no. of kernel rows cob -1 .The PCV estimates were higher than GCV indicating that substantial variation for these characters was contributed by environmental components.The heritability estimates were found to be high for no. of kernels per row followed by days to maturity (50% husk browning), 100 seed weight (g), ear height(c m), grain yield per hectare (q), ear diameter (cm), days to 50% tasseling, days to 50% silking, no. of kernel rows per cob, ear length (cm), plant height (cm), anthesis silking interval.The genetic advance was recorded high for number of kernels per row, grain yield per hectare (q), 100 seed weight (g), ear height (cm), number of kernel rows per cob, ear diameter (cm), ear length (cm) and anthesis silking interval.The result based on cluster analysis indicates that maximum number of inbreds were included in Cluster III (19), followed by Cluster I (13), Cluster II (5) Cluster V (3), whereas there was only one inbred in each rest of the clusters.Cluster means revealed that substantial variability existed for all the maturity, morphological and yield traits and hence the scope of using inbreds in breeding programmes.The maximum contribution among the characters towards divergence was revealed by days to maturity (17.6%), followed by number of kernels per row (16.33%), while as the contribution of character number of kernel rows per cob (0.82%) was minimum.For all quantitative traits, substantial amount of genetic variability has been observed among 50 inbred lines.The information generated through this study can be effectively utilized in planning maize improvement programme.

Potassium isotherm partitioning based on modified quantity‐intensity relation and potassium buffering characterization of soils of North India

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science (2020)

Shabir Ahmed Bangroo Nayar Afaq Kirmani M. Y. Bhat Javaid Ahmad Wani Asif M. Iqbal

Abstract Background : Potassium (K) availability in soil and plant uptake is restrained by the dynamic interactions among the different pools of K. Aims : To understand these interactions, a study was undertaken to assess the quantity–intensity (Q/I) and buffering characteristics of rainfed maize ( Zea mays L.) growing soils. Ten contrasting soils were evaluated for K partitioning changes in exchangeable K (ΔEK) and non‐exchangeable K (ΔNEK) pools in the soil‐solution phase and buffering characteristics using a modified version of Q/I approach. Results : The partitioned Q/I isotherms showed strong adsorption with the increase in K concentration ratio (CR K ) and the changes due to ΔEK were higher than changes due to ΔNEK. Total buffering capacity (PBC K ) significantly correlated ( r = 0.92, p <0.01) with clay content with a major share contributed by buffering capacity owing to non‐exchangeable K () rather than exchangeable K (). The fixation capacity (β) factor, the magnitude of added K converted into a non‐exchangeable pool, ranged from 41 to 63%, whereas release (α) factor, the magnitude of added K converted to the exchangeable pool, ranged from 19 to 36%. Both threshold solution K (CK r ) and threshold exchangeable K (EK r ) values were found to be high in Satran clay loam (S2) and lower in Doon silty clay loam (S3) soils. The equilibrium exchangeable K (EK o ) was found close to minimum exchangeable K (E min ) in Doon silty clay loam (S3) and Babaweyl sandy clay loam (S1) soils and overall E min constituted about 8.94 to 0.57% of the EK o . Conclusion : It may be concluded that K Q/I isotherm partitioning provides a valuable insight to assess the dynamic relations. The ratio of α/β (K recharge index) could be used to evaluate the K enrichment capacity of soil to K additions while EK r and E min can be potentially useful in the elucidation of exchangeable K as K fertility index especially in soils with poor K fertilizer management.

Health benefits associated with consumption of dry beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.)

Trends in Biosciences/Trends in biosciences (2012)

Asif M. Iqbal F.A. Nehvi Sher A. Dar Gowhar Ali

Dry common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is a legume widely consumed throughout the world and are considered as a good source of high protein content (23%), complex carbohydrates, dietary fiber and some vitamins and minerals. The consumption of dry common beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) has been associated with a decrease risk for a wide variety of chronic and degenerative diseases such as cancer, obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. In addition to these nutritional components, common beans are rich in a variety of several phytochemicals with potential health benefits such as polyphenolic compounds, fiber, lectins and trypsin inhibitors, among others. PEU (Protein energy undernutrition) and deficiencies of vitamin A and iron causes death of infants for more than 75% of the young children in some developing countries. Greater consumption of beans by children in developing countries would significantly reduce morbidity and mortality in this age group. Dry beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) are the perfect food to improve and/or promote glycemic control. They have a low glycemic index, varying from 27–42% relative to glucose and 40–59% that of white bread. Substituting beans for foods prepared from white flour (on an equal dry weight basis) will reduce the glycemic index of the diet by about two-thirds and glycemic load by about 80% and it plays a significant role in controlling the blood glucose concentrations. Individuals consuming dry beans at least 4 times per week were found to have a 22% lower risk of heart disease than individuals consuming dry beans less than once per week. In epidemiological studies where legumes are consumed as part of a healthier diet plan, consistent reduction of upto 30% in heart disease risk have been observed. Beans are a good source of soluble dietary fiber, containing approximately 4 g per cup of cooked beans. Soluble fiber has been shown to reduce both total and LDL cholesterol in epidemiological, clinical and animal studies. Beans contain high amounts of resistant starch as well as high amounts of soluble and insoluble fibers which leads to favorable fermentation and inhibits colon and mammary cancers.

Common Beans and Abiotic Stress Challenges

Current Journal of Applied Science and Technology (2021)

Ajaz A. Lone M. N. Khan Audil Gul Z. A. Dar Asif M. Iqbal

Legumes are well recognized for their nutritional and health benefits as well as for their impact in the sustainability of agricultural systems. The threatening scenario imposed by climate change highlights the need for concerted research approaches in order to develop crops that are able to cope with environmental stresses, while increasing yield and quality. Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) plays a significant role in human diets around the world, especially in developing countries and particularly in Asian Sub continent. It is very rich in protein, dietary fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Common beans face major production challenge in the form of various abiotic stresses like drought, cold temperature and salinity. Abiotic stresses play a major role in determining overall returns and also affects the differential distribution of the plant species across different types of environments. These stresses hamper production potential of beans and result in declining of final harvests. These traits are very complex in their expression behavior and their per se inheritance from one generation to next one. Abiotic stress resilience is most of the times governed by polygenic nature of inheritance and often conditioned by multiple factor interacting mechanisms right from physiological, biochemical and genetical processes. Enough has to be explored regarding effect severity and crop stage susceptibility against drought or moisture stress and to optimize the severity of stress to be put on in the field. This review draft will consider different aspects of common bean with respect to different prevailing abiotic stresses, and will suggest an better plant ideotype with a summation of most desirable traits to handle effectively with the unpredictability of abiotic stress, and their heavy impact.

Munlima Hazarika Asif M. Iqbal Manigreeva Krishnatreya Jagannath Dev Sharma Chidananda Bhuyan

There is paucity of data on non Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) from our population in North-East India. In this retrospective study, patients were consecutively followed-up to see the clinic-pathological pattern of NHL, various responses, and pattern of relapses to first line treatment with chemotherapy. All patients in the present study received standard regimen of cyclophosphamde, doxorubicin, vincristine, prednisolone (CHOP) with or without rituximab (R-CHOP) as per our institutional protocol as first line therapy. Our study has shown that, in our adult population, the majority of NHL cases present with stage II and stage III disease and extra nodal involvement, B-cell lymphomas and diffuse large cell lymphomas being the most common subtypes. International prognostic index was a significant factor for varied responses to treatment. The majority of relapses after complete remission occurred in the first year.
