Plant Growth Regulators in Mulberry
Journal Title: Annual Research & Review in Biology - Year 2017, Vol 13, Issue 3
Abstract
Plant growth regulators are organic compounds synthesized in specified plant parts in small quantity and are transported to the place of requirement leading to a change in physiological responses. Plant growth regulators can be classified into growth promoters and growth retardants. Plant growth regulators are auxins, gibberellin, cytokinin and growth retardants are Abscisic acid and ethylene. The latest one added to the growth promoter is Brassinosteroid, used to translocate the nitrogen and phosphorus. Triacontanol is one of the commercial formulations and used to increase the moisture and protein content of leaves, which ultimately built the disease resistance in silkworm. Plant growth promoting Rhizobacteria stimulates the plant growth regulators like auxins, gibberellins etc., and help in better nutrient uptake and increase tolerance. Vermicompost also contains some plant growth regulators. The combined effect of different plant growth regulators will give positive result in mulberry growth.

Role of Interstitial Angiotensin II and ATP in Mediating Renal Injury Induced by Recurrent Insulin Induced Hypoglycemia
Aim: The present study hypothesizes that recurrent insulin induced hypoglycemia (RIIH) elevates renal interstitial ATP levels which in turn enhances AngII production. This interrupts the normal tubuloglomerular feedback...
