Rosa foetida Herrm. is an important wild rose that contributed to the birth of modern yellow cultivars. It also well known for unpleasant odor, not prevalent in other roses, emanating from its petals. We analyzed floral scent R. and sport cultivars, var. bicolor (Jacq.) Willm. f. persiana (Lem.) Rehd., identify causative compounds their offensive odor. Fatty acid derivatives 2,4-decadienal (2,4...

We estimated genetic parameters through multivariate analysis of two species of Passiflora and their hybrids, considered of ornamental potential, based on the morphological characteristics: flower diameter, corona diameter, corona filament size, flower peduncle length, petal length and width, sepal length and width, internode length, stem diameter, leaf length, leaf width (mm), and leaf ar...

The synergistic activities of cyclopropenoid fatty acids (CPFA), epoxyoleic acid, sesame seed oil, and autoxidized salmon oil with aflatoxin Bt were studied in rainbow trout. Sterculia foetida oil (49% sterculic, 7% malvalic acids) and Hibiscus syriacus oil (2% sterculic and 19% malvalic acids) were used as sources of CPFA. The combination of both 112 and 56 ppm CPFA procured from S, foetida oi...

Despite their ubiquity and ecological significance in temperate ecosystems, the behavioural ecology of earthworms is not well described. This study examines the mechanisms that govern aggregation behaviour specially the tendency of individuals to leave or join groups in the compost earthworm Eisenia fetida, a species with considerable economic importance, especially in waste management applicat...
