To obtain high yields of winter wheat, it is important to control the contamination crops with weeds. It known that yield losses can be 30% or more due presence segetal vegetation in wheat crops. With intensive technology growing chemical method protection against weeds an extremely element. The paper highlights data on species composition and class agrocenosis. effectiveness herbicides their t...

The aim of this study was to determine antioxidant activity (DPPH and phosphomolybdenum method), polyphenols content (total polyphenols, flavonoids, phenolic acids), mineral compounds composition (Cu, Zn, Mn, Fe, Cr, Ni, Co, Pb Cd) antimicrobial (with disc diffusion method) medicinal herbs traditionally used in the Slovak republic. tested plants belonged Primulaceae, Urticaceae, Grossulariaceae...

The genus Cirsium includes species with both widespread and restricted geographical distributions, several of which are serious weeds. Nine polymorphic microsatellite loci were isolated from the stemless thistle Cirsium acaule. Eight were polymorphic in C. acaule, six in C. arvense and seven in C. heterophyllum. One locus monomorphic in C. acaule showed polymorphism in C. heterophyllum. The mea...

Background: Diabetes is a metabolic disorder that in long period can damage the testis and reduce the semen quality. Therefore, it can impair the male fertility potential. Recently, different herbal therapeutic treatment for protection of diabetes and its pathologic effects have been used. The aim of current study is to evaluate the protective effect of Equisetum arvense extract (EE) on in vitr...

Some meiosis-specific proteins of Schizosaccharomyces pombe harbor coiled-coil motifs and play essential roles in meiotic progression. Here we describe Mcp4, a novel meiosis-specific protein whose expression is abruptly induced at the horsetail phase and which remains expressed until sporulation is finished. Fluorescence microscopic analysis revealed that Mcp4 alters its subcellular localizatio...

INTRODUCTION The most frequent causes of acute pancreatitis are biliary stones, alcohol consumption, smoking and tumors. Some of them do not have any established cause, and they are catalogued as idiopathic pancreatitis. CASE REPORT We report the case of a 56-year-old woman with a history of bilateral adrenalectomy on hormone replacement therapy with corticosteroids, who has recurrent episode...

Perennial weeds, including Cirsium arvense and Sonchus arvensis, are a common problem in crop fields, especially in agricultural systems with reduced herbicide usage. Herbicides recommended for control of these perennials generally are restricted to only a few active ingredients that tend to have low selectivity, especially on dicot crops. Microbial phytotoxins or their synthetic analogues may ...
