  • Effect of carbohydrate enrichment on the biodegradation of lignicellulosic wastes with Pleurotus florida as animal feed 
    Sundaram, R.N.S.; Bhat, D.J. (Ecology of Fungi, Ed. by: D.J. Bhat and S. Raghukumar. Goa University, Goa. 2000; 103-108.)
    Degradation of structural carbohydrate will be at a faster rate if a simple polysaccharide is made available in the substrate. In the present study, lignocellulosic by-products were enriched with conventional source of ...
  • Vam association in seedlings of some plant species growing in iron ore mine spoils in Goa (India) 
    Rodrigues, B.F. (Indian Journal of Forestry. 22(1and2); 1999; 136-140.)
    As assessment of VA mycorrhizal association in 21 naturally occurring seedlings of shrub and tree species belonging to 19 genera and distributed among 16 families collected from a 12 years old iron ore mine reject dump was ...
  • Brassinosteroids and benzylaminopurine increase yield in IR50 indica rice 
    Krishnan, S.; Azhakanandam, K.; Ebenezer, G.A.I.; Samson, N.P.; Dayanandan, P. (Current Science. 76(2); 1999; 145-147.)
    We investigated the effects of brassinosteroids (BR) and several other plant hormones and other plant growth regulators (PGRs) on the vegetative and reproductive growth of IR50 rice. This report focusses on the promising ...
  • Comments from an ICPS correspondent: "Nelipu" of van Rheede 
    Janarthanam, M.K. (Carnivorous Plant Newsletter. 28(2); 1999; 44-46.)
  • Structural and chemical changes in developing and mature Rice Grains 
    Krishnan, S.; Samson, P.; Ebenezer, A.I.; Dayanandan, P. (Rice quality: A pluridisciplinary approach, Ed. by: Chataigner J. (Cahiers Options Méditerranéennes; n. 24(3)). International Symposium, 24-27 Nov 1997. Nottingham (Great Britain). Montpellier, CIHEAM, 1998. vp.)
    The pattern of distribution of major storage chemicals and their route of entry into the caryopsis were investigated in IR50 rice and compared with several other cultivars and 17 wild species of Oryza. Fluorescence microscopy ...
  • Additions to the grasses of Goa 
    Rajkumar, S.; Joshi, V.C.; Janarthanam, M.K. (Journal of the Bombay Natural History Society. 96(1); 1999; 181-183.)
    The family Poaceae has attracted considerable attention due to its economic importance and diversity. However, the flora of Goa state has not been studied well due to its historical isolation , till 1961. The floras published ...
  • Photochemical and biochemical changes in wheat seedlings exposed to supplementary ultraviolet-B radiation 
    Sharma, P.K.; Anand, P.; Sankhalkar, S.; Shetye, R.. (Plant Science. 132(1); 1998; 21-30.)
    The effect of UV-B radiation (312 nm; 1 mW cm(-2)) was studied on net photosynthesis, chlorophyll fluorescence and changes in flavonoid and carotenoid contents in wheat seedlings. Control plants (without UV-B treatment but ...
  • Additions to the Sedges of Goa 
    Rajkumar, S.; Joshi, V.C.; Janarthanam, M.K. (Journal of Economic and Taxonomic Botany. 22(3); 1998; 688-690.)
    The Goa state is rich in wetland habitats which are relatively underexplored. As a result of floristic study of wetlands, 11 species of sedges are being reported in the present paper as additions to the family Cyperaceae ...
  • Oxidative damage and changes in activities of antioxidant enzymes in wheat seedlings exposed to ultraviolet-B radiation 
    Sharma, P.K.; Anand, P.; Sankhalkar, S. (Current Science. 75(4); 1998; 359-366.)
    The effect of supplementary UV-B exposure (1 mW per cm(2)) on damage to photosynthetic membranes, and enzymatic and nonenzymatic processes metabolizing active oxygen species were studied in young wheat seedlings (Triticum ...
  • In defence of 'taxonomists' 
    Janarthanam, M.K. (Current Science. 75(11); 1998; 1103-1104.)
