a glasshouse experiment was conducted in universiti putra malaysia (upm) to evaluate the regeneration and yield potential in purslane using both seeds and stem cuttings of 20 collected accessions from different locations in western peninsular malaysia. analysis results revealed significant variations (p< 0.05) for morphological traits viz., plant height, number of main branches, number of nodes...

Correlation coefficients based on relative concentrations of 13 glucosinolates in the edible parts of 30 culth'ars were determined. Brussels sprouts (Brassica oleracea L. gemmifera group), cauliOower (8. oleracea L. botlJ·tis group), and either marrow-stem or smooth-leafed kale (B, oleracea L. aceplzala group) had similar glucosinolate patterns based on significant correlations (P < 0.01). The ...

Consumption of plants of the species Brassica oleracea is related to a decreased incidence of certain cancer forms in humans, and this has been linked to the presence of glucosinolates in those vegetables. After ripe seeds, sprouts of some brassicaceous plants contain the highest concentration of these compounds and are therefore a good source of glucosinolates for chemoprotection. In the prese...

The ability of seeds to germinate at high salt concentration in the soil is crucial importance for the survival and perpetuation of many plant species. Therefore, we examined effects of different concentrations of NaCl (200, 400, 600 and 800 mM) on germination of four species from fam. Solanaceae and Brassicaceae (Capsicum annum, Solanum lycopersicum, Brasica oleracea and Sinapis alba). By this...
