EFFECT OF ETHYL METHANESULFONATE MEDIATED MUTATION FOR ENHANCING MORPHO-PHYSIO-BIOCHEMICAL AND YIELD CONTRIBUTING TRAITS OF FRAGRANT RICE

Effect of ethyl methanesulfonate mediated mutation for enhancing morpho-physio-biochemical and yield contributing traits of fragrant rice

Background Chemical mutagenesis has been successfully used for increasing genetic diversity in crop plants.More than 800 novel mutant types of rice (Oryza sativa L.) have been developed through the successful application of numerous mutagenic agents.Among a wide variety of chemical mutagens, ethyl-methane-sulfonate (EMS) is the alkylating agent tha

High Variability in Pre-Oviposition Time Independent of Diet Available at Eclosion: A key Reproductive Trait in the Ladybird Beetle Harmonia axyridis (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) in Its Native Range

While insect predators need high-quality food to reach sexual maturity and reproduce, starvation following adult eclosion may occur when prey are missing in agroecosystems.This study explores whether the type of diet available at eclosion determines the future fecundity of newly emerged adult predators.In a laboratory experiment, three different di
