Abstract:
The present experiment was conducted during 2022-23 at Institute of Agricultural Biotechnology and Green nanotechnology laboratory, UAS, Dharwad, Karnataka. This study involved evaluation of impact of 80 ppm FeNPs treatment on biochemical parameters of Stylosanthes seabrana genotypes seeds. The laboratory experiment comprised of seven different S. seabrana genotypes which were exposed to 80 ppm FeNPs treatment for 12 hours are evaluated for biochemical parameters compared to their respective controls in three replications with two factorial completely randomized design. The results revealed that, among the seven S. seabrana genotypes, S. seabrana-11595 and S. seabrana-104710 seeds treated with 80 ppm FeNPs exhibited significantly higher total dehydrogenase enzyme activity with values of 1.284 and 1.183, respectively and increased α-amylase activity of 1.210 micro mol/min/mg of protein and 1.130 micro mol/min/mg of protein compared to their respective control groups.
