Grain Amaranths are important nutritional vegetables in the world for their grains and leaves. Twelve grain Amaranth accessions were evaluated performances using randomized complete block design with 3 replications 2 years to measure variability group accessions. Analysis of Variance revealed significant among Amaranths. Phenotypic variances higher magnitude than genotypic variance all traits s...

Phytoextraction field experiments were conducted on soil contaminated with 0.39 to 8.7 Bq/g of 137Cs to determine the capacity of five plant species to accumulate 137Cs and the effects of three soil treatments on uptake. The plants tested were redroot pigweed (Amaranthus retroflexus L. var. aureus); a mixture of redroot pigweed and spreading pigweed (A. graecizans L.); purple amaranth (A. crute...

This study examined the levels of heavy metals in soil, water, and vegetables (amaranthus, hibiscussabdariffa, allium cepa leaves) around industrial area Bauchi, Northeastern Nigeria. The composite samples were collected determine level (Mn, Zn, Cd, Pb, As) using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS). decreased order Mn > Zn Pb Cd respectively. Among vegetables, amaranthus had highest fo...

Plants are the only living organisms which have to suffer a lot from automobile exhaust pollution because they remain static at their habitat. But such roadside plants like Nerium indicum Mill., Boerhaavia diffusa L., Amaranthus spinosus L., Cephalandra indica Naud., and Tabemaemontana divaricata L. can easily avoid the effects of air pollution by altering their physiological pathways pertainin...

OBJECTIVES The present study was aimed to investigate the α-amylase inhibition and antioxidant activities of methanolic extract of Amaranthus caudatus Linn (MeAc). METHODS Methanolic extract of Amaranthus caudatus was screened for α-amylase inhibition activity by CNPG3 method (2-chloro-p-nitrophenyl-α-D-maltotrioside) and antioxidant activity was evaluated by 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl-hydrazile (...

carbon dioxide is the most important resource for crop growth. in order to investigate the effect of elevated co2 concentration on morphological and physiological characteristics of sesame (sesamum indicum l.) and amaranthus (amaranthus retroflexus l.) an experiment was conducted in greenhouse conditions. the experiment was factorial based on randomized complete block design with six treatments...

Dark germination of Amaranthus retroflexus L. seeds at 35 degrees increased after several days of prechilling at 20 degrees or lower. Irradiation with far-red light for short periods during the early hours of a prechilling period at 10 degrees inhibited subsequent dark germination at 35 degrees . The inhibition was completely reversible with red light. Far-red irradiation in the latter part of ...

Red Amaranth (Amaranthus tricolor) and green Amaranth (Amaranthus viridis) are two very important leafy vegetables consumed in most parts of India, not only for their flavours, but also for their pharmacological activities. The cooking processes are different in the different part of this country, and therefore, the present study was designed to analyze their in vitro antioxidant profile before...
