Intercropping Induces Changes in Specific Secondary Metabolite Concentration in Ethiopian Kale (Brassica carinata) and African Nightshade (Solanum scabrum) under Controlled Conditions
Intercropping is widespread in small-holder farming systems in tropical regions and is also practiced in the cultivation of indigenous vegetables, to alleviate the multiple burdens of malnutrition. Due to interspecific competition and/or complementation between intercrops, intercropping may lead to changes in plants accumulation of minerals and secondary metabolites and hence, alter nutritional...
متن کاملThe role of plant processing for the cancer preventive potential of Ethiopian kale (Brassica carinata)
Background: Ethiopian kale (Brassica carinata) is a horticulturally important crop used as leafy vegetable in large parts of East and Southern Africa. The leaves are reported to contain high concentrations of health-promoting secondary plant metabolites. However, scientific knowledge on their health benefits is scarce. Objective: This study aimed to determine the cancer preventive potential of ...
متن کاملProtoplast Culture and Fusion between Brassica Carinata and Brassica Napus
In this study, attempts were made to select in vitro responsible genotypes and to fuse the isolated protoplasts of Brassica carinata and Brassica napus breeding lines (BC DH Dodolla, BC DH -1, BC DH-6 and BN OP-1, BN-SL03/04), obtained from our previous experiments. Combination of three different PEG concentrations (20%, 25% or 30%) and two different treatment durations (15 and 20 min.) were te...
متن کاملAgronomic viability of New Zealand spinach and kale intercropping.
The intercropping is a production system that aims to provide increased yield with less environmental impact, due to greater efficiency in the use of natural resources and inputs involved in the production process. An experiment was carried out to evaluate the agronomic viability of kale and New Zealand spinach intercropping as a function of the spinach transplanting time. (0, 14, 28, 42, 56, 7...
متن کاملIn-vitro Callus Propagation and Secondary Metabolite Quantification in Sericostoma pauciflorum
Sericostoma pauciflorum Stocks ex Wight(Family Boraginaceae) used against cancer, diabetes and known to be health promoter. Callus cultures have been established from the stem explants on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 1.5 mg/L concentration of different growth hormone viz. kinetin (Kn), indole 3-acetic acid (IAA) and indole 3-butyric acid (IBA). At 6 weeks of age, these call...
