Physiological Changes in the Seeds of Jatropha curcas L. at Different Stages of Fruit Maturity

The objective of present study was to determine appropriate fruit harvesting stage for Jatropha curcas L. for getting seeds with good oil content and better germination. The seeds separated from the fruits harvested at yellow capsule stage (C2) showed maximum germination efficiency, both under laboratory and nursery conditions whereas seeds separated from the fruits harvested at brownish black ...

Antidepressive Activity of Processed Pumpkin (cucurbita Maxima) Seeds on Rats

The aim of the present study was to determine the anti depressive activity of raw, autoclaved, boiled, germinated and roasted pumpkin seeds powder extract compared with the standard drug: Imipriamine (30 mg/kg) in normal and depressed control rats. Methyl Isobutyl Ketone (100 mg/kg) was used as the depression inducer in rats. The result shows that there was a significant (P < 0.01) decrease in ...

Expression studies of gibberellin oxidases in developing pumpkin seeds.

Two cDNA clones, 3-ox and 2-ox, have been isolated from developing pumpkin (Cucurbita maxima) embryos that show significant amino acid homology to gibberellin (GA) 3-oxidases and 2-oxidases, respectively. Recombinant fusion protein of clone 3-ox converted GA(12)-aldehyde, GA(12), GA(15), GA(24), GA(25), and GA(9) to GA(14)-aldehyde, GA(14), GA(37), GA(36), GA(13), and GA(4), respectively. Recom...
