Carbon-14 pulse labeling technique was used to study the effect of rooting medium salinity and form and availability of N on growth and rhizodeposition of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). Thirty days old plants grown in continuously aerated Arnon and Hoagland nutrient solution were subjected to ¹⁴C pulse labeling for 24 h and transferred to aqueous rooting medium containing 0, 150, and 300 mM NaCl in all combinations with different forms (calcium nitrate, ammonium sulphate, and ammonium nitrate) and amounts (0.5, 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0 times the standard N concentration (150 ppm) of Arnon and Hoagland plant growth medium). Plant samples immediately after pulse labeling, following 7 days of growth under different rooting medium conditions, and the freeze-dried rooting medium were analyzed for total C and ¹⁴C. Length and fresh/dry weight of root and shoot portions and calculated values of unaccounted ¹⁴C were determined. Presence of NaCl in the rooting medium led to a decrease in root and shoot portions. However, NO₃⁻-fed plants showed better growth than NH₄⁺-fed plants at all the three salinity levels. Salinity in rooting medium led to higher rhizodeposition and lower loss of ¹⁴C. Relatively higher proportion of ¹⁴C was released as rhizodeposits and retained in root/shoot portions of plants fed with NH₄⁺ or NH₄⁺+NO₃ -, than those with NO₃ -, while less was respired. The specific activity of the rhizodeposits (kBq ¹⁴C g⁻¹ C) was also higher under saline conditions. The rhizodeposits in NH₄⁺-fed plants were more highly labeled as comp ared to NO₃⁻-plants.
Indian jujube (Zizyphus mauritiana Lamk.) is mostly cultivated in tropical and sub-tropical regions of the world. Many native and exotic jujube cultivars are grown for fruit production in Pakistan. However, little research work has been conducted on various aspects of jujube i.e. morphological and biochemical characterization of available germplasm. Therefore, fruits of thirteen genotypes were collected to study the biodiversity through physico-chemical analysis during the years 2015 and 2016. The aim of the present study was to investigate the relationship among various physico-chemical attributes of the jujube through Pearson’s correlation that may have greater importance for breeders during the selection of desirable genotype. The cultivar Foladi had the maximum fruit weight (30.49 g), pulp weight (28.42 g) and fruit diameter (36.75 mm) among all the cultivars. The maximum fruit length was recorded in Umran-13 (45.16 mm), while the maximum seed weight (2.70 g) was found in Dilbahar. Khobani had the maximum TSS (14.92 ºBrix). The highest level of acidity (0.74%) was recorded in Gorh. Akasha had highest vitamin C content (72.53 mg 100 mL–1 juice). The cultivars Sadqia, Umran-13, Mehmood wali, Yazman local and Gorh were much sweeter due to the maximum total sugars content (9.74–10.09%). The maximum antioxidant capacity was measured in Mahmood wali (616.13 mM Trolox 100 mL–1), Pak white (615.02 mM Trolox 100 mL–1) and Seedless (600.46 mM Trolox 100 mL–1), while antioxidant activity was significantly higher in Sadqia (40.604%). The maximum amount of total phenolic content was determined in Umran-13 and Sadqia (243.06 and 239.25 µg GAE mL–1 juice, respectively). The highly significant correlation (0.99) was observed between the fruit weight and pulp weight. Antioxidant activity and total phenolic content were also strongly correlated (0.70). Principal component analysis was made to determine the relationship among the genotypes and their variables. Dendrogram constructed on the basis of morphological attributes, divided 13 genotypes into four main clusters. Among the cultivars, Khobani and Mehmood wali share the maximum similarity (78%). Biochemical characteristics also divided the genotypes into three main clusters. The cultivars Pak white and Seedless had the maximum similarity (75%) among all the cultivars.
In this study, the biocontrol abilities of water-soluble and volatile metabolites of three different isolates of Trichoderma (T. asperellum,T. harzianum and Trichoderma spp.) against soil borne plant pathogen Rhizoctonia solani were investigated both in vitro and in vivo. The results showed for the first time that mycelial growth inhibition of the pathogen was 74.4–67.8% with water-soluble metabolites as compared to 15.3–10.6% with volatile metabolites in vitro. In vivo antagonistic activity of Trichoderma isolates against R. solani was evaluated on bean plants under laboratory and greenhouse conditions. We observed that T. asperellum was more effective and consistent, lowering disease incidence up to 19.3% in laboratory and 30.5% in green house conditions. These results showed that three isolates of Trichoderma could be used as effective biocontrol agents against R. solani.
