Screening of Allelopathic Potential Bangladesh Rice Cultivars by Donor-Receiver Bioassay

Lily Cultivars Have Allelopathic Potential in Controlling Orobanche aegyptiaca Persoon

As a devastating holoparasitic weed, Orobanche aegyptiaca Persoon. (Egyptian broomrape) causes serious damage to agricultural production and threatens economic development, which has raised widespread concern. The present study was conducted to determine whether lilies have the potential to be used as 'trap crops' for controlling O. aegyptiaca Persoon. In the experiments, the ability of three p...

RICE CULTURE Screening Rice Cultivars for Salinity Tolerance Using a Simple Laboratory Incubation

The research presented here highlights the use of a simple incubation procedure to evaluate the relative salt tolerance of currently available rice cultivars over a wide range of salt concentrations. Rice seeds were subjected to a series of salt solutions from 0 to 20 micromhos/cm, and the ability of each cultivar to germinate and develop to the S3 growth stage was evaluated. Germination values...

Allelopathic potential of tree of heaven(ailanthus altissima swingle)

Virtual screening of bioassay data

BACKGROUND There are three main problems associated with the virtual screening of bioassay data. The first is access to freely-available curated data, the second is the number of false positives that occur in the physical primary screening process, and finally the data is highly-imbalanced with a low ratio of Active compounds to Inactive compounds. This paper first discusses these three problem...

Variation in the Allelopathic Effect of Rice with Water Soluble Extracts

growth of ducksalad (Dilday et al., 1994), which is a major weed in the southern USA and causes a 21% The allelopathic effect of rice (Oryza sativa L.) on lettuce (Lactuca reduction in the yields of direct-seeded rice (Smith, sativa L.) and ducksalad [Heteranthera limosa (Sw.) Willd.] was investigated with water soluble extracts. Ducksalad is a major weed 1988). In field experiments, some rice ...
