The allelopathy is a process for which products of the secondary metabolism, as terpenes phenolic, of a certain vegetal intervene significantly, generally of antagonistic form, in the development of other species of plants. The objective of this work was to chemically characterize the essential oil of Lippia sidoides Cham. growing in the Cariri cearense region, Brazil, and evaluate the allelopa...

The Eruca sativa (Taramira) germplasm, comprising 102 accessions was evaluated for total seed storage proteins via sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). The accessions were collected from different ecological areas of Pakistan. Total seed storage proteins were electrophoretically separated on 12.5 to 15.0% polyacrylamide gels. A total of 17 protein bands were det...

Sensory and chemical analyses were performed on accessions of rocket (Eruca sativa) to determine phytochemical influences on sensory attributes. A trained panel was used to evaluate leaves, and chemical data were obtained for polyatomic ions, amino acids, sugars and organic acids. These chemical data (and data of glucosinolates, flavonols and headspace volatiles previously reported) were used i...

Purpose. To optimize the method of clonal micropropagation rocket (Eruca sativa Mill.). Methods. Seeds cultivars 'Znahar' and 'Lybid' were used for introduction into in vitro culture. Solutions sodium hypochlorite (35%), ethanol (70%) HgCl2 (0.2%) sterilization. A 5% solution chloramine served as a control. Sterile material was planted on liquid solid agar nutrient media according to Murashige-...

Enzymatic browning reactions by polyphenol oxidases cause alteration of appearance, flavor and nutritive value vegetables fruits. It is one the important problems for used as salads causes lots economic losses. In this study, oxidase (PPO) from Eruca sativa was extracted characterization studies were carried out. Substrate specificity variable substrates, optimum pH, temperature, effect differe...
