A novel antifungal protein with a molecular mass around 50 kDa was purified from seeds of Sesbania virgata (Cav.) Pers. using ammonium sulfate fractionation followed by gel filtration on a Sephadex G-75 Superfine (Sigma) column and reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatography on a C8 column. The protein, designated FP1-A, with a novel N-terminal sequence AMVHSPGG(S)FS(P), showed growth ...

In order to determine how growing the green manure crop Dhaincha (Sesbania sesban) in acidic soil conditions affected characteristics, nutrient availability, and rice productivity, among other things, a field study was conducted cafeteria at Galgotias University's School of Agriculture Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh from July 2019 2022. As per study, performed patch considerably increased change ...

Over the past decade, scientific studies have increasingly concentrated on effects of global phosphorus (P) scarcity food security. A comprehensive strategy that considers demand reduction and recycling possibilities is needed to address P scarcity. Reduced tillage along with crop residue retention could decrease fixation in soil, improve labile content enhance organic-P (Po) buildup its minera...

Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L. var. ;Stoneville 213'), velvetleaf (Abutilon theophrasti Medic.), redroot pigweed (Amaranthus retroflexus L.), and hemp sesbania (Sesbania exaltata [Raf.] Cory) were grown in a controlled environment room at 31/25 C day/night temperature and three irradiances: 90, 320, and 750 mueinsteins meter(-2) second(-1). From total dry weights and leaf areas determined at int...

We report mechanism-based evidence for the anticancer efficacy of a protein fraction, SF2 (Sesbania fraction 2) isolated from the flower of the medicinal plant, Sesbania grandiflora (S. grandiflora). The fraction was evaluated in two murine ascites tumour cell lines and human cancer cell lines of different origin for its anticancer effect. SF2 inhibited cell proliferation and induced apoptosis ...

Imazosulfuron is a new herbicide recently labeled in drilland water-seeded rice under the trade name LeagueTM. Research was conducted to understand the best fit for imazosulfuron in Arkansas rice culture, prior to its anticipated launch in 2011. Specifically, research was conducted (a) to understand the influence of application rate and timing on control, (b) to evaluate the effectiveness of im...

The aqueous leaves extract of Sesbania sesban (L) Merr. (Family: Fabaceae) was evaluated for its antidiabetic potential on normal and streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats. In the chronic model, the aqueous extract was administered to normal and STZ- induced diabetic rats at the doses of 250 and 500 mg/kg body weight (b.w.) p.o. per day for 30 days. The fasting Blood Glucose Levels (BGL), ...

Two experiments were established in 2003 at the Rice Research and Extension Center near Stuttgart, Ark., to evaluate the potential of penoxsulam (Grasp) as part of a rice weed control program. In experiment one, penoxsulam applied alone and in tank mixtures early postemergence (EPOST) (two-leaf rice, one-leaf grass, two-leaf weeds) was evaluated, and experiment two evaluated penoxsulam applied ...

Malate oxidation supported C(2)H(2) reduction by bacteroids isolated from Sesbania rostrata stem nodules. Optimal activity reached 7.5 nanomoles per minute per milligram of dry weight and was in the same order of magnitude as that observed with succinate but always required a lower O(2) tension. Malate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.37), purified 66-fold from bacteroids, actively oxidized malate (K(m)...
