Mounting levels of insecticide resistance within Australian Helicoverpa spp. populations have resulted in the adoption of non-chemical IPM control practices such as trap cropping with chickpea, Cicer arietinum (L.). However, a new leaf blight disease affecting chickpea in Australia has the potential to limit its use as a trap crop. Therefore this paper evaluates the potential of a variety of wi...

Inflammation is the natural body defense mechanism for the removal of injurious agents, necrosed cells and tissues from the body. This study was aimed to evaluate the anti-inflammatory and platelet aggregation effects of three medicinal plants of Pakistan. Methanolic extract of garden pea inhibited arachidonic acid (AA)-induced platelet aggregation (IC50 = 35 microg/mL) and platelet activating ...

LAZZARO, M. D., and THOMSON, W. M. 1992. Ultrastructural localization of calcium in the organic acid secreting trichomes of chickpea (Cicer arietinurn). Can. J . Bot. 70: 2319-2325. In the organic acid secreting trichomes of chickpea (Cicer arietinutn L.), calcium is localized in the stalk and head cells using pyroantimonate and X-ray microanalysis. Light calcium deposits are present in the end...

Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is one of the most popular vegetables in many regions of the world. Pulses are important sources of protein for vegetarian population. Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) commonly known as gram is an important pulse crop. In Tunisia, the cultivated area and production have significant instability and decrease, the chickpea crop was affected by biotic and abiotic constrai...

The chickpea, a food and medicine used by the people of Xinjiang, has a beneficial hypoglycemic effect. To better utilize this national resource and develop hypoglycemic agents from components of the chickpea, a series of new derivatives of isoflavone compounds from the chickpea were synthesized. An insulin-resistant (IR) HepG2 cell model was used to screen the hypoglycemic activities of these ...

The demonstration by Hurst and others (1953) of the effectiveness of quinoxaline-1: 4-dioxide and certain of its substituted derivatives against lymphogranuloma inguinale in mice and in developing chick embryos led to a request for the trial of one of the most active of these compounds in human lymphogranuloma. The selected compound was 2: 3 dimethyl quinoxaline-l : 4-dioxide (7218). This paper...

Cell suspension cultures of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) were used to prepare protoplasts and vacuoles. The vacuolar preparation revealed only slight contaminations of cytoplasmic marker enzymes. HPLC analysis of the vacuolar extract showed that the malonylglucosides of isoflavones, isoflavanones and pterocarpans are exclusively located in the vacuole. Experi­ ments designed to determine the s...
