RICE Experimental Data
 
GROWTH GERMINATION OF SEEDLINGS
 
  • Blessed as well as Control Rice seeds (Oryza sativa cv, 644) were soaked for 6hrs in Distilled water.
  • Seeds were germinated on moist tissue papers in dark.
  • % seeds showing radical emergence was recorded (Table 1)
  • % seeds germination was recorded (Table 1)
  • Length of root and shoot was also recorded.

PROCEDURES FOLLOWED FOR
 
IAA EXTRACTION & ANALYSIS
 
  • IAA was analyzed using Tang and Bonner's method
  • Freshly prepared Salkowski's reagent was used for detection
  • 200 mg plant tissue was grinded with 5 ml of 80% chilled methanol
  • Extract was filtered through Whatmann paper no. 1
  • Final volume of extract was made up to 10 ml using 80% chilled methanol
  • Optical density was measure after 30 minutes at 530 nm.
 
GLUTATHIONE EXTRACTION
 
The glutathione extraction procedure was as follows:
  • 5 gm of leaves was crushed in 5 ml of 80% chilled methanol (as a solvent)
  • Extract was sonicated for 10 min.
  • After sonication the total volume was adjusted to 5 ml.
  • Then 1ml of 5% tricholoroacetic acid was added to the extract
  • This sample was used for glutathione analysis.
GLUTATHIONE ANALYSIS
 
  • The glutathione levels were estimated by Moron et.al's (1979) method.
  • Trichloroacetic acid was taken as blank.
  • Procedure given in Biochimica et Biophysica acta, 582, 1979, 67-78 was followed.
INFERENCE
 
Very significant increase in seedling growth associated with increased level of auxin (IAA) in both root and shoot seedlings of blessed plants suggest an early establishment of healthy plant.
 
In rice a Bacterial infection by Xanthomonas campestris is very common.
Though it was noticed in all the control plants, it was totally absent in blessed plants; hence in both control and blessed plants glutathione analysis was done.
 
Blessed plants showed 639.26% increase in young seedling which remained increased till maturity and was recorded to be 56.23% more than control. Showing increased immunity.
