| Title | : | Toxicological Effect of Effluents from Indomie Plc on Some Biochemical Parameters of Fish in New Calabar River |
| Country | : | Nigeria |
| Authors | : | Samuel Chimezie Onuoha || Mercy Onuekwuzu Ifeanacho |
Abstract: The effect of effluent from indomie food company in Choba, PortHacourt in Niger Delta part of Nigeria on the biochemical parameters of Talapia fish from New Calabar river was studied. To achieved this, parameters like potassium ion (K+) concentration, chloride ion (CL-) concentration, sodium ion (Na+) concentration, urea concentration and creatinine concentration in the blood, gills, liver and muscles of the fish were measured. The entire river was divided into four(4) stations during the collection of fish samples. Station 1: the non point source which serves as control. Station 2: the point source where indomie waste is discharged into the water; station 3: 10m upstream from the source; station 4: 10m downstream from the source.

| Title | : | In Vitro Seed Germination Studies and Flowering in Micropropagated Plantlets of Dendrobium Ovatum Lindl |
| Country | : | India |
| Authors | : | Sr. Sagaya Mary B. || Dr. Divakar K.M. |
Abstract: The genus Dendrobium is one of the most important genera with distribution of eleven species in the Western Ghats, belonging to the family Orchidaceae. It is known for its long lasting, showy flowers which has significance in floriculture industry. Dendrobium ovatum Lindl. is an epiphytic orchid found in the Western Ghats. A rapid in vitro seed germination technique is described here. MS, VW, B5 and KC media supplemented with various concentrations of auxins and cytokinins were used in combination for asymbiotic seed germination and plantlet formation. In the evaluation of the media VW medium supplemented with 2 mg BAP/L-1 and NAA 5mg/L-1 is found to be suitable. Further hormonal concentrations of auxins and cytokinins were evaluated for a minimal and optimal level in the medium.

| Title | : | RAPD Analysis Of Rapidly Multiplied In Vitro Plantlets of Anthurium Andreanum Bicolour Var Agnihotri |
| Country | : | India |
| Authors | : | Ancy David || Madappa M.B || Bopaiah A.K |
Abstract: The seeds of Anthurium andreanum bicolour var agnihotri were made to germinate in Murashige and Skoog medium. A single good plantlet developed was further taken as explants and cultured in Murashige and Skoog medium supplemented with 2 mg/L of 6-Benzylaminopurine and 0.5 mg/L of naphthaleneacetic acid hormone concentrations. After 30 days the plantlets were transferred to fresh Murashige and Skoog medium with increases in hormone concentration with 4mg/L of 6-benzylaminopurine and 2mg/L- of naphthaleneacetic acid. The proliferated plantlets were maintained in this medium for 90 days. The concentration proved excellent proliferation of shoots in the plantlets.
