The antimycotic potential of Datura metel (syn. Datura alba Nees.) was investigated in vitro against Ascochyta rabiei, the cause of chickpea blight disease. The pathogen was exposed to various n-hexane concentrations (1, 2, 3 and 4% w/v) of shoot and root extracts of D. metel using poisoning food technique. All the employed concentrations of both root and shoot extracts significantly suppressed...

MIPC is a well-known intuitionistic modal logic of Prior (1957) and Bull(1966). It is shown that every normal intuitionistic modal logic L over MIPC has the nite model property whenever L is Kripke-complete and universal. Mathematics Subject Classi cation: 03B45, 03B25.

In the facultative halophyte Mesembryanthemum crystallinum (common ice plant) the enzyme ferredoxin-NADP(+)-reductase (FNR) is coded for by a small family of 2 to 3 genes. We have determined the expression characteristics as the plants adapt to high salt and the nucleotide sequence of a full-length cDNA coding for the precursor of this chloroplast-located enzyme. On a developmental scale amount...

One of the remarkable adaptive features of the halophyte Mesembryanthemum crystallinum are the specialized modified trichomes called epidermal bladder cells (EBC) which cover the leaves, stems, and peduncle of the plant. They are present from an early developmental stage but upon salt stress rapidly expand due to the accumulation of water and sodium. This particular plant feature makes it an at...

Mesembryanthemum crystallinum is considered a drought and saline stress-tolerant plant with many biological activities that has been revalued as cool flavouring plant. The objective of this work was to assess optimum mode cultivation M. produce edible parts under greenhouse conditions. Therefore, three soilless media were evaluated: peat, vermiculite hydroponic culture. Pot culture in peat did ...
