The seeds of Cassia Mimosa have been reported to be highly rich in mucilaginous matter. The preliminary screening of the seeds of the plants belonging to above mentioned genus has been conducted to locate a good source of polysaccharides. Cassia Mimosa ( Linn ), is commonly known as a “Horse Cassia” belongs to the family Leguminasceae ( Sub-family : Cesalpinaceae ). It is an ornamental and deci...

The time complexity of data clustering has been viewed as fundamentally quadratic, slowing with the number of data items, as each item is compared for similarity to preceding items. Clustering of large data sets has been infeasible without resorting to probabilistic methods or to capping the number of clusters. Here we introduce MIMOSA, a novel class of algorithms which achieve linear-time comp...

The memristor, a resistor with memory, was postulated by Chua in 1971 and the first solid-state memristor was built in 2008. Recently, we found memristors in vivo in plants. Here we propose a simple analytical model of 2 types of memristors that can be found within plants. The electrostimulation of plants by bipolar periodic waves induces electrical responses in the Aloe vera and Mimosa pudica ...

Objective: The present study is to synthesize nanoparticles using the leaf extracts of Mimosa pudica and screen for its α-amylase inhibiting potential as well as antibacterial properties. Methods: Silver nanoparticles were synthesized using extract of Mimosa pudica leaves under various conditions such as sunlight, UV and room temperature. The synthesized nanoparticles were further characterized...

Florists’ greens are a very important element of floral compositions, and their vase life must match that the flowers, hence this review presents results research has been conducted over years in order to improve post-harvest longevity species grown for florists’ using growth regulators from groups gibberellins (GAs) cytokinins (CKs). include foliage, leafy non-leafy stems herbaceous plants, tr...

The fact that living organisms exhibit certain electrical phenomena has long been known, but understanding of their significance and meaning is limited. The attempt to explain the several aspects of biological activity which can be recorded by electrical devices has, in general, rested on the assumption that the underlying phenomena are chemical and that the electrical records represent by-prod...

Low temperature (cold) plasma finds an increasing number of applications in biology, medicine and agriculture. In this paper, we report a new effect of plasma induced morphing and movements of Venus flytrap and Mimosa pudica. We have experimentally observed plasma activation of sensitive plant movements and morphing structures in these plants similar to stimulation of their mechanosensors in vi...

The genus Burkholderia represents a challenge to the fields of taxonomy and phylogeny and, especially, to the understanding of the contrasting roles as either opportunistic pathogens or bacteria with biotechnological potential. Few genomes of nonpathogenic strains, especially of diazotrophic symbiotic bacteria, have been sequenced to improve understanding of the genus. Here, we contribute with ...
