The plant Coldenia procumbens Linn. is used commonly in Indian system of medicine for various ailments. The present paper deals with detailed pharmacognosy of the leaf of coldenia procumbens Linn. and includes its Macro/Micro morphological (vein islet, vein termination numbers and stomatal index) anatomical characters, Physico chemical standards such as ash values, extractive values, crude fibr...

OBJECTIVE To study detail microscopic evaluation and physiochemical analysis of Dillenia indica (D. indica) leaf. METHODS Fresh leaf sample and dried power of the leaf were studied macroscopically and microscopically. Preliminary phytochemical investigation of plant material was done. Other WHO recommended parameters for standardizations were also performed. RESULTS The detail microscopy re...

The study was conducted in the northern Texas Rolling Plains in 1999 to define the relationship between number of cotton aphids, Aphis gossypii Glover, and resulting contamination of cotton lint by honeydew. Whole-plot treatments were three furrow irrigation management treatments: cotton grown without supplemental irrigation (dryland), irrigated cotton with last irrigation in mid August, and ir...

Nicholas Pippenger and Kristin Schleich have recently given a combinatorial interpretation for the second-order super-Catalan numbers (un)n 0 = (3; 2; 3; 6; 14; 36; :::): they count \aligned cubic trees" on n internal vertices. Here we give a combinatorial interpretation of the recurrence un = Pn=2 1 k=0 n 2 2k 2 2 uk : it counts these trees by number of deep interior vertices where deep interi...

Here we report the discovery through activation tagging and subsequent characterization of the BIG LEAF (BL) gene from poplar. In poplar, BL regulates leaf size via positively affecting cell proliferation. Up and downregulation of the gene led to increased and decreased leaf size, respectively, and these phenotypes corresponded to increased and decreased cell numbers. BL function encompasses th...

A major component in a crop growth model is leaf area development, which has a major influence on photosynthesis and transpiration. The knowledge about the leaf area development of wheat especially in high temperature environments is incomplete. The aim of this study was to quantify leaf production and senescence of 15 spring wheat cultivars. Field experiments were conducted at the research far...

Arabidopsis thaliana mutants lacking the SS4 isoform of starch synthase have strongly reduced numbers of starch granules per chloroplast, suggesting that SS4 is necessary for the normal generation of starch granules. To establish whether it plays a direct role in this process, we investigated the circumstances in which granules are formed in ss4 mutants. Starch granule numbers and distribution ...

cotton whitefly,  bemisia tabaci is considered as one of the most important pests of fall cucumber in khouzestan province. studies were conducted to examine the seasonal dynamics and spatial distribution of b.tabaci on fall cucumber during 2006 and 2007 in mollasani area. in both years, adult whiteflies first appeared on the plants in early september. in 2006 and 2007, mean maximum of adults oc...
