This study reports the biomass accumulation, plant nutrient concentration, and uptake rates of plants in a constructed floating wetland (CFW) installed for sewage treatment application Australia. Plant accumulation was estimated based on field samplings throughout duration study. Analysis samples each species also completed to estimate mean tissue content. The concentration were then used total...

Didymella pinodes is the principal causal agent of ascochyta blight, one of the most important fungal diseases of pea (Pisum sativum) worldwide. Understanding its host specificity has crucial implications in epidemiology and management; however, this has not been clearly delineated yet. In this study we attempt to clarify the host range of D. pinodes and to compare it with that of other close D...

In the present study, three techniques of extraction: hydrodistillation (HD), solvent extraction (conventional 'Soxhlet' technique) and an innovative technique, i.e., the supercritical fluid extraction (SFE), were applied to ground Tetraclinis articulata leaves and compared for extraction duration, extraction yield, and chemical composition of the extracts as well as their antioxidant activitie...
