| developing novel bacterial based bioformulation having pgpr properties for enhanced production of agricultural crops. | plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (pgpr) are beneficial rhizobacteria which enhance plant growth as well as the productivity by a variety of mechanisms pgpr were isolated from the rhizosphere region of som plants (machilus bombycina king) maintained at the central muga eri research and training institute, lahdoigarh, jorhat. a bacterial based bioformulation was prepared and sprayed over the experimental crops including tomato (solanum lycopersicum), cauliflower (brassica oleracea var botrytis ... | 2015 | 25675713 |
| de novo transcriptome of the muga silkworm, antheraea assamensis (helfer). | antheraea assamensis (lepidoptera: saturniidae), is a semi-domesticated silkworm known to be endemic to assam and the adjoining hilly areas of northeast india. it is the only producer of a unique, commercially important variety of golden silk called "muga silk". herein, we report the de novo transcriptome of a. assamensis reared on machilus bombycina leaves for the first time. short reads generated by high throughput sequencing of cdna libraries from multiple tissues, viz. alimentary canal, silk ... | 2017 | 28216038 |
| oil exploration activities: assessment of hazardous impacts on 'golden silk' cultivation. | aliphatic-aromatic hydrocarbons and heavy metals (cd, cu, co, cr, ni, pb and zn) were estimated in soil and leaf samples of machilus bombycina (host plant of antheraea assama silkworm) plantation along with atmospheric benzene, toluene and xylene (btx) concentration near the oil exploration region of upper assam, india, during the pre-monsoon and post-monsoon periods in six different sites. the results revealed higher aliphatic-aromatic hydrocarbons (ranging from 26.55 to 59.42 mg kg(-1)) and he ... | 2017 | 28102496 |
| lipid and fatty acid composition of muga silkworm, antheraea assama, host plants in relation to silkworm growth. | the lipid and fatty acid composition of the leaves (tender, medium and mature) of muga host plants, machilus bombycina, litsaea monopetala (primary food plants) and l. cubeba and l. salicifolia (family: lauraceae) (secondary food plants) was investigated by standard procedures, gas chromatography after saponification and esterification. the total lipid content of m. bombycina and l. monopetala leaves was recorded to be higher (16 and 18 g%), respectively, than that of l. cubeba (10 g%) and l. sa ... | 1996 | 8816990 |
| correlation and regression studies between pupal weight and fecundity of muga silkworm antheraea assama westwood (lepidoptera: saturniidae) on four different foodplants. | female pupal weight and fecundity of mother moth of antheraea assama westwood fed with four different food plants have been studied. litsaea polyantha fed females showed significantly higher pupal weight and higher rate of oviposition in comparison to three food plants machilus bombycina, litsaea salicifolia and cinnamomum glaucescens. the number of eggs laid was correlated with the pupal weight. the correlation co-efficient (r = 0.9730) showed positive and significant correlation at 1% level. t ... | 1991 | 1814168 |
