Biosynthesis of Food components in Abolmosclus esculentus under environmental stress; Effect of addition of vegetative materials
Journal Title: Scholars Academic Journal of Biosciences - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 9
Abstract
Abstract: A study on the respond trends of protein and carbohydrate synthesis in Abelmoshus esculantus grown under environmental stress (oil pollution) was carried out at the University of Port Harcourt botanical garden. A. esculatus was grown at two level of oil pollution (severe and mild) at 200 and 400ml respectively. Vegetative materials- sawdust and chromolena leaves at the rate of 50g each, were added to both mild and severe pollution treatment and control. Data was collected on two weeks intervals for three months on the protein and carbohydrate accumulation in A. esculantus and subjected to statistical analysis. Result showed that stress condition (oil pollution) retards biosynthesis of the food components while vegetative materials enhance its accumulation in Abelmoschus esculantus and variations exist among the treatments. Keywords: Abelmoshus esculantus, chromolena leaves, oil pollution
