The present study investigates whether previously acquired boron (B) in mature leaves in white lupin can be retranslocated into the rapidly growing young reproductive organs, in response to short-term (3 d) interrupted B supply. In a preliminary experiment with white lupin in soil culture, B concentrations in phloem exudates remained at 300-500 microM, which were substantially higher than those...

The genus Fusarium has a wide host range and causes many different forms of plant disease. These include seed rot and seedling blight diseases of cultivated plants. The diseases caused by Fusarium on wild plants are less well-known. In this study, we examined disease development caused by Fusarium sp. n on nondormant seeds of the important rangeland weed Bromus tectorum as part of broader studi...

The distribution and chemical behavior of Cd(2+) in tissues and its chemical form in xylem water of soybean plants (cv. Williams) were investigated. Following root absorption, Cd is strongly retained by roots, with only 2% of the accumulated Cd being transported to leaves; as much as 8% was transported to seeds during seed filling. In vivo xylem exudates contained two anionic Cd complexes in ad...

Analysis of extracts obtained from shoots, roots and exudates of Brassica alba revealed the presence of 3,5,6,7,8-pentahydroxy-4'-methoxy flavone in shoots, as well as 2',3',4',5',6'-pentahydroxy chalcone and 3,5,6,7,8-pentahydroxy flavone in roots and exudates. Apigenin was also found in the shoots and roots, but not in the root exudates.

Previously established criteria were used to classify 253 pleural effusions as transudates (65 cases), neoplastic exudates (67 cases), tuberculous exudates (65 cases), or miscellaneous exudate (56 cases). The parameters pleural LDH (PLDH), pleural LDH/serum LDH ratio (P/SLDH), and pleural protein/serum protein ratio (P/SPROT) were compared with pleural cholesterol (PCHOL) and the pleural choles...

Abstract Soluble allelochemicals have generated great interest since they can be used for the biological control of pests, especially weeds. However, few studies evaluated effectiveness soluble compounds exudates on germination in relation to exposure time. Here we evaluate inhibitory effect aqueous root, stem and leaf extracts five South American species Bothriochloa percentage seed four targe...

Plants from the ancient time have been consumed as a part of food and sidewise for the prevention and treatment of diseases. Indian literatures mention the use of plants in treatment of various human ailments. In traditional system of drugs various plant parts such as stem, stem bark, roots, root bark, leaves, fruits and exudates are used in dysentery, diarrhea, diabetes, leucorrhoea, menorrhag...
