Response of Egyptian Clover (Variety Fahl) to Foliar Spray with Potassium Humate, Fulvate as Well as Amino Acids Mixture

Foliar Spray Effects of Selected Amino Acids on Sunflower Infected with Meloidogyne incognita.

Overman and Woltz (3) indicated that amino acid antimetabolites applied to tile soil suppressed reproduct ion of Paratrichodorus minor (Trichodorus christiei) and root galling caused by Meloidogyne incognita on tomatoes. Eight DL-amino acid antimetabolites similarly decreased the population of Aphelenchoides ritzemabosi on Lucerne, whereas DL-alanine suppressed the populat ion of Heterodera spp...

Performance of 2-Amino Tetraphenyl Porphyrin as Stationary Phase in RP-HPLC of Amino Acids

The search for new stationary phases has been one of the predominant concerns in high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) in order to achieve better resolutions, longer column lives, and reduce the time of analysis. A chromatographic packing for separation of underivatized amino acids (AAs) were prepared by dynamically coating 2-amino tetraphenyl prophyrin (atpp) on a C-18 reversed-pha...

Investigation of Amino Acids As Herbicides for Control of Orobanche minor Parasitism in Red Clover

Certain amino acids induce inhibitory effects in plant growth due to feedback inhibition of metabolic pathways. The inhibition patterns depend on plant species and the plant developmental stage. Those amino acids with inhibitory action on specific weeds could be utilized as herbicides, however, their use for weed control has not been put into practice. Orobanche minor is a weed that parasitizes...

Response of laying hens to supplementation with various fatty acids when fed diets inadequate in protein and sulphur amino acids

Amino acids as energy sources

To discuss amino acids as energy sources seems at first sight a rather bizarre notion. It is not that there are any particular difficulties in accepting the concept, but rather that it seems a somewhat extravagant or whimsical idea, rather like a discussion of caviar as a pig food. Nevertheless, the topic does merit discussion. For some animals protein regularly predominates in the diet. In adu...
