A new species, Cactodera milleri n. sp., is described and illustrated from specimens obtained from roots of common lambsquarter, Chenopodium album L., from Mattawan, Michigan. Cactodera milleri can be differentiated from other Cactodera species by the presence of punctated egg shells and a second-stage juvenile (J2) stylet length averaging 21.8 mum as measured from freshly killed specimens in w...

Physiological Responses of Quinoa Varieties (Chenopodium quinoa Willd) to Hydropriming and Drought Stress

The aim of current study was to isolate and evaluate the starch from Chenopodium album (LP) and Chenopodium album (LS) varieties for its physicochemical, particle size analysis, and textural properties. The starch isolated from C. album (LP) and C. album (LS) showed yield values of 37.59 and 47.30%, while amylose content of the mentioned varieties was found to be 16.75 and 19.11%, respectively....

The FT/TFL1 gene family controls important aspects of plant development: MFT-like genes affect germination, TFL1-like genes act as floral inhibitors, and FT-like genes are floral activators. Gene duplications produced paralogs with modified functions required by the specific lifestyles of various angiosperm species. We constructed the transcriptome of the weedy annual plant Chenopodium rubrum a...

Effect of Sowing Date and Different Levels Nitrogen on Qualitative Quantitative Characteristics Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd) in Ahar

BACKGROUND The efficacy of essential oil of Chenopodium ambrosioides flowering aerial parts and its three main active ingredients was evaluated against Blattella germanica male adults. METHODS Composition of essential oil was determined by GC-MS. Topical application bioassay was used to evaluate contact toxicity of essential oil and three main components. Fumigant toxicity of essential oil an...
