the purpose of this investigation was to determine the antioxidant potentials and anti-glucosidase activities of six tropical medicinal plants. the levels of phenolic constituents in these medicinal plants were also quantified and compared. antioxidation potentials were determined colorimetrically for scavenging activities against dpph and no radicals. metal chelating assay was based on the mea...

The existence of a semipermeable layer in grass seeds has been extensively reported, yet knowledge of its influence on tests for seed viability and vigor that depend upon measurement of electrical conductivity (EC) is limited. This study determined the presence and location of the semipermeable layer, and its relation to seed viability and vigor assessment, in seeds of four important grass spec...

1. The Roscoe-Bunsen law holds for the light growth response of Phycomyces if the time component of stimulation is short. With exposures longer than a few seconds, the reaction time to light is determined by the intensity and not by the energy of the flash. 2. The possible nature of the very long latency in the response to light is considered in terms of the structure of the cell and its mechan...
