Studies on Ecological Characteristics of Common Purslane

Vegetative Reproduction Potential of Common Purslane (Portulaca oleracea)

Polysome Formation in Light-sensitive Common Purslane Seeds.

Common purslane (Portulaca oleracea L.) seeds show light-controlled dormancy. Ribosome profiles from dark-incubated seeds consist of 22 to 26% polysomes. Light induces germination and stimulates polysome formation during the 12-hour lag period preceding radicle protrusion. Polysome levels increase to 29, 35, and 41% with exposure to 3, 6, and 9 hours of light, respectively. Although polysomes f...

The effect of different irrigation intervals and fertilizers on Common purslane (Portulaca oleracea L.)

Common purslane is a warm season plant which had a lot of medicinal properties. An experiment was conducted as a split plot design arranged  in completely randomized block design with three replications in the research field of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources University of Khuzestan during 2015-2016. In this experiment, the main plots consisted of four levels of irrigation intervals...

Efficacy of Preemergence and Postemergence Herbicides for Controlling Common Purslane

Common purslane (Portulaca oleracea L.) can be problematic in thin turf, along sidewalks and drives, and especially during turfgrass establishment. Little published research exists evaluating herbicides that will control purslane and are also labeled for turfgrass. Thus, our objective was to evaluate the efficacy of preemergence (PRE) or postemergence (POST) herbicides labeled for use in turf f...
