The essential oil was obtained by hexan. The sample oil, which was light yellow in color, was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and stored under nitrogen in a sealed vial until required. The oil obtained was analyzed by GC-MS and GC/MS. The components of the oil were identified by comparison of their mass spectra to those of a computer library or with authentic compounds and confirmed by comp...

Some words immediately and automatically remind us of odours, smells and scents, whereas other language items do not evoke such associations. This study investigated, for the first time, the abstract linking of linguistic and odour information using modern neuroimaging techniques (functional MRI). Subjects passively read odour-related words ('garlic', 'cinnamon', 'jasmine') and neutral language...

The effects of soaking conditions and anaerobic treatment on the gamma-amino butyric acid (GABA) content in germinated Red Jasmine brown rice (GBR) were investigated in this study. Firstly, GBR was produced by soaking brown rice grains in water at different temperatures (5, 28, 35oC) and soaking times (8, 16, 24 h), then GBR was incubated under nitrogen gas for 12 h. The results showed that GAB...

In this paper, we describe an approach for transparent collaboration with java applets. The main idea behind our system is that user events occurring through the interactions with the application can be caught, distributed, and reconstructed, hence allowing Java applications to be shared transparently. Our approach differs from other collaborative systems in the fact that we make use of already...

In the present study; the glutinous Niaw Sanpatong (NSP) and Niaw Koko-6 (NKK), and the non-glutinous Jasmine (JM) and Saohai (SH) were chemically modified. The difference of these rice varieties on the physicochemical characteristics of the modified rice powders and the properties of the derived gels were evaluated. X-ray diffractometer was used for crystalline structure investigation of the r...

Adults and nymphs of the Asian citrus psyllid, Diaphorina citri Kuwayama (Hemiptera: Psyllidae), were collected in the Guayaquil, Samborondón, and Durán cantons in coastal Ecuador. Psyllids were found in high numbers in citrus (Citrus spp., Sapindales: Rutaceae) and orange jasmine (Murraya exotica [L.] Jack, Sapindales: Rutaceae) trees within the Guayaquil-Samborondon-Duran conurbation; however...

Chinese privet, Ligustrum sinense Lour., is a perennial semi-evergreen shrub that is a serious invasive weed in the United States. Classical biological control offers the best hope for controlling it in an economic, effective, and persistent way. Host specificity of one of the most promising biological control agents of Chinese privet, a flea beetle, Argopistes tsekooni Chen (Coleoptera: Chryso...

Two field isolates of Rhizoctonia solani were isolated from infected paddy plants in Malaysia. These isolates were verified via ITS-rDNA analysis that yielded ~720 bp products of the ITS1-5.8S-ITS4 region, respectively. The sequenced products showed insertion and substitution incidences which may result in strain diversity and possible variation in disease severity. These strains showed some re...

The study was commenced in a compulsion toaccomplish successful approach developing commercially viable polyploidy variety Jasminum sambac. Rooted cuttings of J. sambac cv. Ramanathapuram Gundumalli were treated with different concentrations colchicine (0.05%, 0.10%, 0.15%, 0.20% and 0.25%) for 48 hours. survival sprouting rates the treatments determined after 45 days treatment phenotypic stoma...

In this study, researches were carried out on the protease enzyme activity of Jasminum officinale Linn. flower which grows naturally in Muğla and its surroundings. addition, fragrance components content jasmine determined. It was aimed to be used perfume making based harmony white with other flowers concept note. Protease purified from J. using TPP (Three Phase Partitioning) method. Optimal pH ...
