Isolation and characterization of antagonistic actinomycetes from
Coimbatore soils, Tamil Nadu, India
Abstract :
The diosgenin content of the seeds of fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum L.) in different genotypes collected from the states of Gujarat and Rajasthan, India were estimated and compared. Among the 17 Gujarat genotypes evaluated CVT UM 361 recorded the maximum diosgenin content (1.27 per cent), while among the Rajasthan genotypes, NDM 25 recorded the maximum diosgenin content (1.35 per cent). The results confirm the existence of variations in diosgenin content in different genotypes of different geographical localities.
