We have obtained gram quantities of clean, viable eggs of Meloidogyne incognita by a method which combined treatment with hypochlorite and differential centrifugation. Chili pepper plants (Capsicum frutescens L.) infected with M. incognita were dug at harvest from a naturally infested field. Egg sacs from roots of 50 plants were obtained by kneading the washed roots in water and recovering the ...

A severe root rot of tomato caused by Meloidogyne incognita and Rhizoctonia solani was associated with nutrient mobilization into gall tissue and root exudation. Root decay did not develop when root exudates were continuously removed by leaching. When leachates were collected from M. incognita-infected and control roots and applied to roots of tomatoes inoculated with R. solani alone, roots rec...

This study was undertaken to evaluate the phytoremediation potential of Ficus Benjamina plant for removal polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs): Acenaphthene (ACN), naphthalene (NAP) and phenanthrene (PHE) from contaminated soil. The transplanted into pot containing 4 kg soil spiked with PAHs: ACN, NAP PHE at concentrations 1600, 2000 2400 mg respectively. A separate untreated used as a contr...

elisa values (o.d.s) of extracts of separately roots and individual leaves of barley and wheat plants infected by a french bydv-pav isolate (pav-4), were assessed for five dif-ferent virus incubation periods in controlled conditions (5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 days after in-oculation). in most cases, virus contents of individual roots or leaves were not statistically different for barley and wheat. f...

Histological periapical healing of infected roots obturated in one-step or with prior calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2) disinfection was compared. Seventy-two roots of vital dog teeth were instrumented to ISO size 45. Sixty roots were infected with dental plaque and closed. Six weeks later, apical periodontitis was radiographically confirmed in the infected roots. The teeth were divided into the foll...

Biochemical changes occurred in roots of bur marigold and grapevine infected with Longidorus africanus. Phenols of infected root tips differed quantitatively from those of healthy root tips (optical density of 0.68 and 0.32, respectively). Column chromatography of the phenol extracts resulted in more fractions in the infected than in the healthy root extract. Of the enzymes involved in phenol m...

Plants are the important sources of drugs. Secondary metabolites are responsible for therapeutic propertiesin plants. Three compounds including (-)-hyoscyamine, its racemate atropine, and scopolamine (hyoscine) are the most famous tropane alkaloids in the Solanaceae familly. Nowadays, attempts to developthese alkaloids in biotechnological procedures which are principally based on the hairy root...

Corn roots or washed corn root tissue exposed to cold shock absorb 20 to 24% more (45)Ca(2+) into a nonexchangeable phase than control roots. Addition to fusicoccin largely prevents this additional calcium influx. The results are discussed in relation to injury-induced changes in membrane permeability of root cell membranes.
