Effect of broad-leaved dock (Rumex obtusifolius L.) on grass silage quality

Studies of the Amino Acid Sequence of Plastocyanin from Rumex obtusifolius (Broad-Leaved Dock)

Plastocyanins are low-molecular-weight cuproproteins, which occur in the chloroplasts of plants and algae. The exact biological function of the protein remains uncertain, but is probably associated with photosynthetic electron transport (Gregory, 1971). The small size and blue colour of the protein simplify the purification of plastocyanin, and studies with a number of species have been reporte...

A New Anthraquinone Isolated from Rumex Obtusifolius

In this research we studied Rumex obtusifolius (Polygonaceae) along with other plants used in traditional medicine in relation to the chemical reaction FBIT (Ferriprotoporphyrine Biocrystallization Inhibition Test) which may provide information on a possible action mechanism for presumed antimalarial plants. According to folk medicine Rumex obtusifolius has a pronounced detoxifying effect on th...

Allelopathic effects of Rumex obtusifolius leaf extracts against native grassland species

In perennial grasslands R. obtusifolius (broad-leaved dock) is often surrounded by certain plant species. Thus, it is hypothesized for the current study that Rumex can affect their neighbouring plant species by allelopathic interactions. To test this hypothesis, in a series of laboratory and field experiments aqueous extracts of green R. obtusifolius leaves were sprayed on seeds of 14 herbaceou...

effect of seed priming and irrigation regimes on yield,yield components and quality of safflowers cultivars

این مطالعه در سال 1386-87 در آزمایشگاه و مزرعه پژوهشی دانشگاه صنعتی اصفهان به منظور تعیین مناسب ترین تیمار بذری و ارزیابی اثر پرایمینگ بر روی سه رقم گلرنگ تحت سه رژیم آبیاری انجام گرفت. برخی از مطالعات اثرات سودمند پرایمینگ بذر را بر روی گیاهان مختلف بررسی کرده اند اما در حال حاضر اطلاعات کمی در مورد خصوصیات مربوط به جوانه زنی، مراحل نموی، عملکرد و خصوصیات کمی و کیفی بذور تیمار شده ژنوتیپ های م...
