VISUALISATION OF RESEARCH TRENDS IN ASTER YELLOW DISEASE IN PLANT: AN OVERVIEW | PLANT CELL BIOTECHNOLOGY AND MOLECULAR BIOLOGY

 Phytoplasmas cause Aster Yellow, a plant disease that affects flowers and vegetables. Aster yellow disease is a difficult plant disease to eradicate, and it affects over 300 different plant species. This plant does not have a concrete treatment. This bibliometric study was carried out to determine the number of active authors, organisations, journals, and countries in the research domain of aster yellow, a plant disease. The VOS viewer was used to create research tables and visualisation maps for all published papers relevant to "aster yellow" from "Scopus." The aim of this article was to compile the literature on aster yellow disease and to discover trends in the field. The journal with the highest productivity is Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America. The journal with the most citations is the International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology. The United States is the most active nation, with the most publications, citations, percentage of citations to total citations, and co-authorship links. New Zealand, on the other hand, has the highest average citation. The Research Institute of Pomology and Floriculture has the most publications of any organisation. Bertaccini A is the most prolific author, with the most articles, total citations, and co-authorship links. Rehner S.A. is the most productive author with the highest average citation.

CLINOSTAT MICROGRAVITY IMPACT ON ROOT MORPHOLOGY OF SELECTED NUTRITIONAL AND ECONOMIC CROPS | PLANT CELL BIOTECHNOLOGY AND MOLECULAR BIOLOGY

 The use of the microgravity simulators such as Clinostat has enhanced microgravity research on Earth as engaging in real space flight microgravity experiments are expensive and unusual. The reduction of gravity causes significant changes on biological organisms, macromolecules, fluids and materials. Some of these changes that occur have led to discoveries that have been found to be of social-economic benefits. The use of Clinostat as a source of simulated microgravity impact for the growth of plants has produced several positive implications especially for the agriculture sector. It is also predicted that space explorers in distant future will have improved breeds of crops that will adapt and survive well in the harsh environment of space from microgravity simulations experiments from Earth. In this research, 10 essential plants: peanut, cowpea, watermelon, okra, cotton, cucumber, wheat, sorghum, rice and corn were selected because of their nutritional and economical values. They were separately grown under normal Earth gravity (control) and under simulated-microgravity (clinorotation) using Clinostat. The experimental variables on the Clinostat were rotation-speed, rotational-axis angle and rotation-direction. Observations were made for hours during the experiment on the roots morphological developments range from the physical characterization of the roots to the growth-rate and root-curvature using ImageJ software. Results revealed that there were mostly improved growth-rates and reduced response to gravity per-hour on the microgravity simulated samples than the control plants. The clinorotated-samples root-curvatures ranged from 1.33°/hr to 28.25°/hr for the ten plants; while the 90°-turned sample ranged from 3.99°/hr to 33.13°/hr. The clinorotated-samples of eight plants showed increased growth-rate per hour than their 1 g-control and ranged from 2 mm/hr to 10.75 mm/hr while cotton and sorghum had 2.13 mm/hr and 6.08 mm/hr respectively as decrease in growth-rates. The growth-rate for 1 g-control of the ten plants ranged from 0.69 mm/hr to 8.01 mm/hr.

A REVIEW ON BIODIVERSITY OF SOME MEDICINAL AND WILD PLANTS AND THEIR POSSIBLE ROLE IN VECTOR- BORNE DISEASES AND VECTOR CONTROL | PLANT CELL BIOTECHNOLOGY AND MOLECULAR BIOLOGY

Plants have been extensively studied in the search for alternatives to traditional insecticides. During the last decade, their toxic actions against insects have attracted particular attention. Mosquitoes are nuisance pests and a major vector for the spread of many diseases that are life-threatening. These days, mosquito and vector-borne diseases such as Malaria, Chikungunya, Dengue and many more are becoming a major public health concern because they have a social and economic impact in subtropical and tropical countries in particular. Basically, the current prevalence of these diseases is due to the growing resistance of mosquitoes to existing insecticides. Plant-derived products have been used to repel or destroy mosquitoes and other domestic insect pests in many parts of the world. Since they are rich in bioactive chemicals, are active against a small range of organisms, including particular target insects or parasites, and are biodegradable, plants can be a source of alternative insect and parasite control agents. Whereas, rather than the intended pathogen carrier, synthetic drugs and insecticides also cause extensive toxicity and adverse side effects to the end consumer. Upon completion of the literature survey, therefore, it was concluded that the use of environmentally friendly and biodegradable natural insecticides of plant origin has received renewed attention as insect control agents and plant products are a good source of medicinal aspects and also of insecticides that are important for the elimination of vector and vector diseases.

The present analysis focuses primarily on the potential for anti-plasmodial or insecticidal properties of certain widely grown plants. If their products are properly developed, these plants can be a good alternative for many vector-borne diseases. This paper addresses the multi-source information fusion approach primarily and offers an algorithm for multi-source information fusion based on a fuzzy partial order relationship. The trick to achieving information fusion is to make all the elements comparable. First, to get the good or bad order of the subjects being assessed and the most important details, we will convert the existing fuzzy partial order into complete order, in addition to obtaining a new framework. Second, we're getting knowledge fusion algorithms. Finally, using an example, we test the feasibility and efficiency of the algorithms.

EFFECT OF CONTAMINATED IRRIGATION WATER ON EXTERNAL MORPHOLOGICAL CHARACTERS IN EDIBLE VEGETABLES | PLANT CELL BIOTECHNOLOGY AND MOLECULAR BIOLOGY

In this research, brinjal and radish plants were each examined for external morphological characteristics. These only relate to variations in external morphological appearance and are not related to the values of the data. These characters were thoroughly studied and both control and contaminated soil sites were documented with their respective figures. The effluents from the nearby factories of the Sanganer district, Rajasthan, India are found in these contaminated sites. It was experimentally reported that, when allowed to grow under different irrigation conditions, both mature vegetable plants displayed significant morphological differences.

POACEA FAMILY CROPS: REVIEW

The poacea family is one of the most large families in the plant of Monocotyledon, one of the floral plants. There are about 600 species in this family and about 10,000 genus, including the most important crops such as wheat, rice, maize, barley, oats and millet. This family contains a lot of forage crops and grass plants.
