Application of 4-amino-3,5,6-trichloropicolinic acid (picloram) to roots stimulated the production of ethylene in both mesquite [Prosopis juliflora (Swartz) DC. var. glandulosa (Torr.) Cockerell] and huisache [Acacia farnesiana (L.) Willd.] seedlings. Herbicide levels rose in tissues before we detected increased ethylene production. Rates of ethylene production by various parts of the plant par...

Juliflorine, the main alkaloid isolated from Prosopis juliflora was tested for its antibacterial activity against both the Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria. Filter paper disks impregnated with juliflorine were placed on streaked agar medium. Zones of growth inhibition for Campylobacter spp occurred at 10 pg per disk. Other enteropathogens (including the species of Salmonella, Shigella, ...

The antifungal activity of aqueous, petroleum ether, benzene, chloroform, methanol and ethanol extracts and alkaloid extract of Prosopis juliflora (Sw.) DC. leaves (Mimosaceae) was evaluated for antifungal activity by poisoned food technique against Alternaria alternata a causal organism of brown spot of tobacco. Aqueous extract recorded highly significant antifungal activity at 24% concentrati...
