TL;DR: Latex linamarase was purified by ammonium sulfate fractionation and DEAE-cellulose chromatography and was characterized with respect to its amino acid composition and kinetic properties and Gel filtration and SDS-PAGE analysis showed that it was made up of a 70,000-Da peptide.

TL;DR: The differential response of two contrasting cassava cultivars to different rates of soil-applied nitrogen (N) on the number of tuberous roots, harvest index, yield, nitrogen uptake, and fertilizer-nitrogen-use efficiency was studied over a period of 2 years.
Abstract: The differential response of two contrasting cassava cultivars to different rates of soil-applied nitrogen (N) on the number of tuberous roots, harvest index, yield, nitrogen uptake, and fertilizer-nitrogen-use efficiency was studied over a period of 2 years on a typic Plinthustults in Kerala state in Southern India. The experiment was laid out in a split-plot design with two popular cultivars of cassava, namely Sree Vijaya (6 months) and M-4 (10 months) in the main plots, and eight urea-N rates (0, 12.5, 25, 50, 75, 100, 150, and 200 kg ha–1) in subplots. Half of the N was applied at the time of planting and the other half 60 d later. The study revealed significant differences between the two cultivars regarding their response to fertilizer-N application. The tuberous-root yield of the short-duration cultivar Sree Vijaya increased significantly up to 100 kg N ha–1 whereas the yield of the long-duration cultivar M-4 increased significantly only up to 50 kg N ha–1 rate. Also the N-use-efficiency parameters (i.e., agronomic, recovery, and physiological efficiencies) were higher in Sree Vijaya than in M-4 but declined at N rates beyond 100 kg ha–1. The more efficient N use in the short-duration cultivar was associated with a higher N uptake and a more efficient internal use.

TL;DR: There is a high influence of endophytic bacteria L. sphaericus in plant growth despite the mode of inoculation, establishing the potential of diazotrophic endophyte L. Sphaericas to limit the use of industrial N fertilizers thereby enhancing the fertility of the soil.
Abstract: Nitrogen (N) is the “prime” among the three major nutrients required for plant growth. The large potential demand of nitrogen for plant growth is mainly achieved through biological nitrogen fixatio...
