a colorimetric method for detection and assay of mustard gas in urine after addition of thymolphthalein is reported. the detection limit was 80 ng/ml of llrine. mustard gas could also be detected in urine after extraction with gas chromatography using fid detector. the detection limit was 10 ng/ml. in addition, thiodiglycol, a metabolite of mustard gas, could be converted to mustard with concen...

Several types of trap crops have been recommended for managing the diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella, including collards (Brassica oleracea var. acephala) and Indian mustard (Brassica juncea L.). However, results have been variable perhaps because populations of P. xylostella develop on these trap crops and spill over to the cash crop. To overcome this problem, we sought to develop ‘‘dead-e...

The mechanisms underlying cardiovascular diseases induced by chronic exposure to arsenic remain unclarified. The objectives of this study were to investigate whether increased vascular leakage is induced by inflammatory mustard oil in mice systemically exposed to various doses of arsenic and whether an increased vascular leakage response is still present in arsenic-fed mice after arsenic discon...

The role of the quinone group in the antitumor activity of quinone alkylating agents, such as mitomycin C and 2,5-diaziridinyl-3,5-bis(carboethoxyamino)-1,4-benzoquinone, is still uncertain. The quinone group may contribute to antitumor activity by inducing DNA strand breaks through the formation of free radicals and/or by influencing the alkylating activity of the quinone alkylators. The cytot...

To study the effects of applied nitrogen levels and wild mustard densities on the growth of wheat and wild mustard, a field experiment was conducted at Re-search and Experimental Field of Islamic Azad University of Ahvaz-Iran. The effects of three nitrogen levels namely 90, 150 and 210 kg.ha-1 and four wild mustard densities such as 0, 5, 10 and 15 plants.m-2 were evaluated in split plot arrang...

management of nitrogen fertilization in crops is one of the most important components of integrated weed management. a two-year field experiment was conducted to determine the direct effects of wild mustard aboveground biomass and n content of wild mustard on oilseed rape yield. a set of factorial treatments was arranged in a randomized complete block design with four replications. treatments w...

to evaluate the competition between wheat and wild mustard (sinapis arvensis) in nitrogen and herbicide levels, an experiment was conducted in ramin agriculture and natural resources university, at 2007-8. a split-plots design in rcbd (randomized complete blocks design) with three replications was used for this experiment. the nitrogen levels (0, 60, 120 and 180kg/ha) arranged in main plots. ea...

over the past 20 years since tribenuron-methyl herbicide registration in iran, reports of erratic control of broadleaf weeds with it have increased in wheat fields of aq qala. in order to evaluate the incidence of resistance in wild mustard (sinapis arvensis) and turnipweed (rapistrum rugosum) to tribenuron-methyl herbicide, dose-response assays were conducted during the years 1390 and 1391 at ...

abstract to evaluate the effect of different levels of nitrogen fertilizer on competitive ability of canola against wild mustard interference, a split plot trial based on a randomized complete block design with 3 replications was carried out. experimental treatment were amounts of nitrogen fertilizer of urea (46% nitrogen) in 4 levels (100, 150, 200 and 250 kgn/ha) and 5 wild mustard densities ...
