the so-called phytoextraction in which hyperaccumulator plants are used to remediate the contaminated soils is proven to be an efficient method. the objective of this study was to investigate the capability of spinach for phytoremediation of cadmium from cd-contaminated soils and determine the efficiency extent of spinach for phytoremediation. for this purpose, a randomized block experimental d...

Greenhouse pot culture studies were conducted to evaluate the bioremediation potential of spinach for removal of cadmium. The results indicated that spinach was able to take up cadmium in substantial quantity in the shoot. There were no visual cadmium toxicity effects on spinach and no significant reduction in the dry matter yield up to 20 μg g cadmium. Significant growth retardation of fenugre...

Cytosolic fructose-1,6-biphosphatases (FBPase, EC 3.1.3.11) from pea (Pisum sativum L. cv Lincoln) and spinach (Spinacia oleracea L. cv Winter Giant) did not cross-react by double immunodiffusion and western blotting with either of the antisera raised against the chloroplast enzyme of both species; similarly, pea and spinach chloroplast FBPases did not react with the spinach cytosolic FBPase an...

The research experiment was conducted at the Department of Horticulture’s, SHUATS, Prayagraj during year 2022.The laid out in Randomized Block Design comprising 9 varieties viz., V1: All Green, V2: Space Spinach, V3: Red kitten V4: Catalina V5: Bloomdale, V6: Perpetual V7: Indian summer V8: Punjab V9: Corvair spinach with three replications. Observations were recorded as per growth and yield pa...

Wilson, A. D., and Halliwell, R. S. 1985. Characterization and field studies of a cucumber mosaic virus isolate from spinach in the Winter Garden area of Texas. Plant Disease 69:751-754. An isolate of cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) was identified from spinach in the Winter Garden area a of Texas. The isolate was very closely related serologically to strain S of CMVand is designated the Texas spina...

We evaluated the effects of soil washing with ferric chloride (FeCl3) on cadmium (Cd) concentrations in soil solutions and Cd absorption by two spinach cultivars in pot experiments. Soil samples were collected from washed and unwashed plots of rice paddy fields in Fukuoka and Toyama, Japan. Spinach pot cultivation was performed with the above mentioned soil under oxidative conditions. Before an...

Fluorogenic RNA aptamers provide a powerful tool for study of RNA analogous to green fluorescent protein for the study of proteins. Spinach and Broccoli are RNAs selected in vitro or in vivo respectively to bind to an exogenous chromophore. They can be genetically inserted into an RNA of interest for live-cell imaging. Spinach aptamer has been altered to increase thermal stability and stabilize...

Spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) is an economically important leafy vegetable crop in many countries. This is the first case study of using SRAP markers to analyze genetic diversity of Iranian spinach accessions. Eight SRAP primer combinations generated 88 scorable bands ranging from 50 to 1000 bp, among which 73 were polymorphic, with an average of 82.9 polymorphic bands per primer combination a...

The Nematodes are roundworms that are found in every environment of the earth. While some species are harmful parasites, others play a vital role in nutrient cycle and medical research. Nematode infestation in the fields is poly-specific; however, depending on the agro-climatic conditions, one or two species are dominant over the rest. The present studies attempts to observe and control the roo...
