abstract nowadays, environmental pollution by heavy metals is one of the most serious threats of the world which needs effective remediation actions. the aim of this study was to investigate the potential use of atriplex [atriplex verucifera], salicornia [salicornia europaea] and chenopodium album in simultaneous uptake and accumulation of na and cd or pb in two calcareous soils with different ...

Feeding agro-industrial by-products and unconventional forages, rich in potentially anti-nutritional factors, may influence the quality of the raw milk and the dairy products prepared therefrom. The aim of the present study was to determine side-effects on physicochemical properties of milk, yoghurt and cheese of feeding diets where one third were feeds either rich in lipids (tomato pomace and ...

Microbial diversity associated with micropropagated Atriplex species was assessed using microscopy, isolate culturing, and sequencing. Light, electron, and confocal microscopy revealed microbial cells in aseptically regenerated leaves and roots. Clone libraries and tag-encoded FLX amplicon pyrosequencing (TEFAP) analysis amplified sequences from callus homologous to diverse fungal and bacterial...

Treatment with aqueous toluene-ethanol has been shown to induce "pore" formation in plant cell membranes. The evidence is as follows: [List: see text]While the principal experimental material was roots of Atriplex nummularia Lindl., the fact that similar results were also observed with leaves of Pisum sativum L. and with the alga Chlorella pyrenoidosa Chik. suggests that the phenomenon is gener...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS The heterocarpic species Atriplex tatarica produces two types of seeds. In this study, how basic population genetic parameters correlate with seed germinability under various experimental conditions was tested. METHODS Population genetic diversity was ascertained in eight populations of A. tatarica by assessing patterns of variation at nine allozyme loci. Germinability of ...

Atriplex lentiformis plants collected from coastal and desert habitats exhibit marked differences in capacity to adjust photosynthetic response to changes in growth temperature. Plants from desert habitats grown at 43 C day/30 C night temperatures had higher CO(2) uptake rates at high temperatures but reduced rates at low temperatures as compared to plants grown at 23 C day/18 C night temperatu...

India is one of the richest floristic regions of the world and has been a source of plants and their products since antiquity and man uses them in different ways according to his needs, particularly as food or as medicine. Tecoma undulata is a popular medicinal plant has long been used in ayurvedic system of medicine. The plant has been found to exhibit diverse pharmacological activities. The p...
