To tackle global biodiversity loss, we will need to sustain beyond protected areas. Here present a case study of rare and threatened native species Helleborus dumetorum. First, assessed by laboratory experiments if H. dumetorum has competitive advantage over weeds because its allelopathic potential; secondly, reviewed the literature discuss this could be conserved as an ornamental for gardening...

This study aims to determine the nutrients of some green plants and their anti-methanogenic potentials with in vitro gas production techniques. For this purpose, lettuce, purslane, sorrel, parsley, dill, cress, mint were examined. The highest dry matter was found dill plant 21.78% lowest lettuce 7.24%. average protein be 30.58%. net observed sorrel 66.66, value purslane 27.66. In study, it dete...

The levels of four different heavy metals [cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), chromium (Cr) and copper (Cu)] were determined in various vegetables [leek (Allium ampeloprasum), sweet basil (Ocimum basilicum), parsley (Petroselinum crispum), garden cress (Lepidium sativum) and tarragon (Artemisia dracunculus)] cultivated around Sanandaj City. The contributions of the vegetables to the daily intake of heavy...

A cDNA clone for NADPH : protochlorophyllide oxi­ doreductase from barley was subcloned for production of antisense-mRNA. This enabled heterologous hybridi­ zation with RNA from cress seedlings (Lepidium sativum L.). The mRNA level for N A DPH : protochlorophyllide oxidoreductase did not decrease in cress seedlings during irradiation with continuous far-red or white light up to 12 h. The amount...

A ccum ulation o f protochlorophyllide (Pchlide) was determ ined after incubation o f etiolated seedlings o f garden cress (Lepidium sativum L.) w ith exogenous 5-am inolevulinate for 24 h. Y oung seedlings (start o f incubation 0 1 2 h after im bibition) accum ulated only m oderate am ounts (< 0 .2 nmol per seedling) o f Pchlide.

THE dispersed cellulose component which is found in white mustard seed mucilage [Bailey and Norris, 1932] and in quince seed mucilage [Schmidt, 1844; Kirchner and Tollens, 1874; Renfrew and Cretcher, 1932] has now been obtained from the mucilage of cress seed, Lepidium sativum. The present communication, which deals mainly with the chemistry of this seed mucilage, falls into three sections: (1)...
