Green manure (GM) is widely adopted for agricultural productivity and sustainability. The present study supplemented the GM effect with that of water retaining agent (WRA) to enhance sustainability tobacco planting purple soils in Sichuan Province, China. employed three legumes varieties (Trifolium repens, Vicia villosa Medicago sativa), while WRA used was polyacrylamide at different applicatio...

Beta-glucans are soluble fibers with physiological functions, such as interference with absorption of sugars and reduction of serum lipid levels. The objective of the present study was to analyze the distribution of beta-glucans in different tissues of the African grass species Rhynchelytrum repens and also to evaluate their hypoglycemic activity. Leaf blades, sheaths, stems, and young leaves o...

BACKGROUND Dirofilaria immitis and Dirofilaria repens are the most common species of filarial nematodes described in the dogs. A single-step multiplex PCR was applied to detect and differentiate simultaneously and unequivocally D. immitis and D. repens on DNA extracted from canine peripheral blood and besides to detect the seroprevalance of D. immitis by ELISA in Elazig Province, Turkey. A PCR ...

We used three human urological cancer cell lines, PC-3, LNCaP and SKRC-1, to investigate the effects of the extract from Serenoa repens (Palmae) on tumor cell invasion. The invasion activity of these cell lines was determined in vitro using a Transwell cell-culture chamber. The invasion activity of PC-3 cells into Matrigel was effectively suppressed by the extract at the concentration range of ...

Proanthocyanidins (PAs) are oligomeric flavonoids and one group of end products of the phenylpropanoid pathway. PAs have been reported to be beneficial for human and animal health and are particularly important in pastoral agricultural systems for improved animal production and reduced greenhouse gas emissions. However, the main forage legumes grown in these systems, such as Trifolium repens an...

Isolates of Aspergillus chevalieri, A. flavus, A. ochraceus, A. repens, and Penicillium funiculosum and complexes of P. citrinum-P. implicatum isolated from moldy pecan meats were toxic to chicks.
