The effects of methyl jasmonate (MeJA), an elicitor of plant defense mechanisms, on the biosynthesis of diosgenin, a steroidal saponin, were investigated in six fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum) varieties (Gujarat Methi-2, Kasuri-1, Kasuri-2, Pusa Early Branching, Rajasthan Methi and Maharashtra Methi-5). Treatment with 0.01% MeJA increased diosgenin levels, in 12 days old seedlings, from 0...

Lolium rigidum (annual ryegrass) is the most costly winter weed in Australia and has recently been observed growing summer. The occurrence of L. well documented, but there no research on populations this that germinate grow Herein, we discuss how potential cause seasonal expansion may be related to a change dormancy duration. Dormancy can affect germination patterns growth reproduction plant sp...

Trigonella foenum-graecum (fenugreek) is an important medicinal plant, well known for its anti-inflammatory properties. However, the underlying cellular and molecular mechanisms of its action remain largely unknown. The apoptosis associated speck like protein containing a caspase recruitment domain (CARD) (ASC) is central to inflammatory and cell death pathways in innate and adaptive immunity. ...

BACKGROUND The current study aimed to elucidate the protective role of combined fenugreek and a-tocopherol against cadmium induced histopathological changes in the testes. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty adult male albino rats divided into three equal groups 10 rats each. Group I is the control group. Group II received 5 mg/kg/ day cadmium chloride. Group III received 5 mg/kg/day cadmium chlorid...

Manure composting has gained increased acceptance by the beef cattle (Bos taurus) feedlot industry in southern Alberta, Canada. Unlike fresh manure, compost is often promoted as being "weed-free." Studies were conducted with five weed species in 1997 and thirteen in 1999 to examine the effect of feedlot manure composting on weed seed viability. Weed seeds were buried in open-air compost windrow...

this experiment was arranged as a strip-plot on the base of a completely randomized block design with three replications to study the effect of tillage (whether in day or night or in day by light-proof cover) and application of reduced dosage of imazethapyr and trifluralin on weed control, yield and yield components of chickpea. main plots consisted of tillage methods and subplots consisted of ...

The purpose of the study is to formulate and evaluate a new, cheap and effective natural mucoadhesive agent that can be used as an effective alternative for traditional mucoadhesive agent. The study procedure involved extraction of mucoadhesive agent from the Trigonellafoenumgraecum (fenugreek) seeds, solubility testing of the mucilage obtained, phytochemical testing, determination of swelling ...

The inability of pre-emergence herbicides alone to give season-long weed control in maize production justifies the need for supplementary control. Field trials were conducted evaluate intercropped groundnut and jack bean enhanced efficacy two 2013/2014 2015 cropping seasons at Federal University Agriculture, Abeokuta, Nigeria. experiment was arranged split-plot fitted a randomized complete bloc...

to assess the radiation use efficiency (rue) of different rice cultivars under transplanting (tp) and direct-sowing (ds) systems and scrutiny of weed effect, a split-plot factorial experiment was conducted based on a randomized complete block design with three replications in 2011 at haraz extension and technology development center in mahmoudabad city, mazandaran. the main plots were two plant...
