Yield physiology of asparagus (Asparagus officinalis L.) is strongly influenced by biotic factors such as crown and root rot caused Fusarium spp. abiotic conditions precipitation or temperatures, duration each harvest, field management practices. Asparagus yields are linked to the availability soluble carbohydrates (CHO) in storage system which considered a key factor productivity. The aim this...

Saponins are the foam producing secondary metabolites of plant. They have been evaluated for a number biological activities like anticancer, anti-inflammatory, hepatoprotective, antimicrobial, antitumor, blood cholesterol lowering properties etc. In the present study we have attempted to check the role of isolated saponins from Asparagus filicinus for its hypolipidemic activity. Saponin rich fr...

Tetraethylthiuram disulfide (disulfiram) stimulated medium acidification when added at a concentration of 0.4 millimolar to illuminated or nonilluminated suspensions of Asparagus sprengeri Regel mesophyll cells. Similar concentrations inhibited photosynthesis and cyanide-resistant respiration. The reduction product of disulfiram, diethyldithiocarbamic acid, accumulated in concentrations suffici...
