Red Amaranth (Amaranthus tricolor) and green Amaranth (Amaranthus viridis) are two very important leafy vegetables consumed in most parts of India, not only for their flavours, but also for their pharmacological activities. The cooking processes are different in the different part of this country, and therefore, the present study was designed to analyze their in vitro antioxidant profile before...

This study aims to determine the allelopathic potential of Amaranthus retroflexus (Ar) with different climatic zones on seed germination and growth of A. tricolor (At) treated with a gradient N addition. Ar leaf extracts only displayed significantly allelopathic potential on the underground growth of Ar but not the aboveground growth of At. The allelopathic potential of Ar leaf extracts on root...

On a farm in Slovenia two cows died overnight without any previous signs of disease. The cows were fed green forage, containing a big portion of redroot pigweed (Amaranthus retroflexus) at least for four consecutive days. Poisoning with this plant was suspected. Pathomorphological changes established by the necropsy of both cows confirmed the suspi-

In grain amaranthus (Amaranthus hypochondriacus L.) ten genotypes were evaluated for twelve characters under four plant density levels viz. very high (D ), high (D ), normal (D ) and low plant density (D ) 1 2 3 4 levels to study the influence of different plant density levels on growth and grain yield of grain amaranthus. The study was conducted at College Orchard, Department of Horticulture, ...

A rapid and reliable PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) marker was developed to identify the Amaranthus cruentus species by comparing sequences of the starch branching enzyme (SBE) locus among the three cultivated grain amaranths. We determined the partial SBE genomic sequence in 72 accessions collected from diverse locations around the world by direct sequence analysis. Then, ...

Cardio vascular diseases are leading cause of death in both industrialized and developing nations. Disorders of lipid metabolism, following oxidative stress are the prime risk factors for initiation and progression of these diseases[1]. The current anti-hyperlipidemic therapy includes principally statins and fibrates, the former corrects the altered blood lipid profile by inhibiting the bio-syn...

Many plants exude allelochemicals--compounds that affect the growth of neighbouring plants. This study reports further studies of the reported effect of cress (Lepidium sativum) seed(ling) exudates on seedling growth in Amaranthus caudatus and Lactuca sativa. In the presence of live cress seedlings, both species grew longer hypocotyls and shorter roots than cress-free controls. The effects of c...

Bu çalışmanın amacı, Kuzey Irak’ın Süleymaniye, Erbil ve Duhok illerindeki sera sebzelerinde kök-ur nematodlarının (Meloidogyne spp.) dağılımının yaygınlığının belirlenmesidir. Yüz seksen yedi serada 2018 yılı Kasım Aralık aylarında sürvey yapılmıştır. Meloidogyne spp., perineal patternler esteraz fenotipi kullanılarak teşhis edilmiştir. Sürvey yapılan seraların %37’sinde varlığı tespit edilmiş...
