--------------------------------------------------------------ABSTRACT------------------------------------------------------Studies have shown that certain parts of Moringa oleifera Lam plant, such as its leaves, roots, flowers, and seeds possess antihepatotoxic activity. Also in recent times, there has been a surge in local demand for Moringa seed oil, largely due to its reportedly high medici...

Little biochemical information is available on carbohydrate metabolism in developing canola (Brassica napus L.) silique (pod) wall and seed tissues. This research examines the carbohydrate contents and sucrose (Suc) metabolic enzyme activities in different aged silique wall and seed tissues during oil filling. The silique wall partitioned photosynthate into Suc over starch and predominantly acc...

The fluxes of (1) exogenous nitrogen (N) assimilation and (2) remobilization of endogenous N from vegetative plant compartments were measured by N labeling during the seed-filling period in pea (Pisum sativum L. cv Caméor), to better understand the mechanism of N remobilization. While the majority (86%) of exogenous N was allocated to the vegetative organs before the beginning of seed filling, ...

The fluxes of (1) exogenous nitrogen (N) assimilation and (2) remobilization of endogenous N from vegetative plant compartments were measured by 15N labeling during the seed-filling period in pea (Pisum sativum L. cv Cameor), to better understand the mechanism of N remobilization. While the majority (86%) of exogenous N was allocated to the vegetative organs before the beginning of seed filling...

The most striking response of light-grown wheat seedlings to sublethal doses (0.1 m) of the herbicide Sirmate (3,4-dichlorobenzyl methylcarbamate) was the formation of achlorophyllous leaves. This herbicide did not inhibit seed germination and the leaves emerged normally, except that they had a bleached appearance. After 9 days, these plants died, presumably of starvation due to depletionofendo...

Triticum vulgare (Wheat) based products are the major dietary source of food in developing countries. In India, it grows in association with boundary plantations of Populus deltoids (poplar). During winter, poplar enters in dormancy which cause a heavy leaf fall at the time of wheat seed germination. Large number of poplar senescence leaves may adversely affect the wheat. Therefore, the present...

Dissipation and persistence study of imidacloprid on peas as seed treatment revealed presence 6.47 9.92 mg kg-1 residues green pea leaves at a dose 1.8 g 3.6 a.i. per kg seed, respectively after 19 days treatment. Residues dissipated below limit quantification 0.01 49 54 were found in immature pod with succulent seeds, seeds (shelled), mature soil dry fodder (without root pod).

Aims: To evaluate the nematicidal potential of wild spinach powder in combination with fresh chopped leaves of different plants viz., Indian mallow, Mexican poppy, Ivy gourd, Trailing eclipta, Wild eggplant and Black pigweed against Meloidogyne incognita on plant growth characters of tomato cv. K-21. Place and Duration of Study: A glasshouse pot experiment was carried out in the Department of B...

ABSTRACT A marked-isolate, release-recapture experiment was conducted to assess the relative contributions of seed-transmitted (released isolates) versus all other inocula to foliar and grain populations of Phaeosphaeria nodorum in winter wheat rotated with nonsusceptible crops in New York and Georgia, United States. Seed infected with two distinct groups of marked isolates of P. nodorum contai...
