Turnip Yellow Mosaic Virus RNA directs the synthesis in vitro of its coat protein in a wheat germ cell-free extract. Optimum conditions for synthesis have been defined, and the effect of spermine on specifically enhancing coat protein formation has been examined. Identity between the in vitro synthesized coat protein and authentic coat protein of Turnip Yellow Mosaic Virus was established by an...

A pot experiment was conducted to study the effects of aqueous extracts of some herbal plant leaves viz. bael (Aegle marmelos), amla (Phyllanthus emblica), beleric myrobalan (Terminalia belerica), arjuna (Terminalia arjuna), neem (Azadiracta indica), horitoki (Terminalia chebula) and water (as control) with three replications on germination and seedling growth of three vegetables namely turnip ...

Turnip seedlings (Brassica rapa L.) irradiated for 24 hours with radiation at 720 nanometers synthesize chlorophyll a and anthocyanin. Antimycin A and 2,4-dinitrophenol, which are known to reduce cyclic photophosphorylation, also reduce anthocyanin synthesis. Noncyclic photophosphorylation is inhibited by 3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea and o-phenanthroline. These compounds promote cycl...

Introduction Parsley (Petroselinum crispum) is one of herbs the most extensively used as a condiment for garnishing and seasoning, but also in perfumery, and in a larger extent in folk medicine. It is a biennial plant belonging to Apiaceae family (Simon and Quinn, 1988) [11]. Parts used in therapeutics are ripe fruits (seeds), root and aboveground parts of the plant. The curiosity is that parsl...

BACKGROUND Pasta is considered as an effective carrier of prohealth ingredients in food fortification. The aim of this study was to examine the changes of antioxidant potential of wheat pasta affected by fortification with powdered parsley leaves. A special attention was paid to effectiveness of fortification in the light of proteinphenolic interactions. METHODS To improve antioxidant activit...

to evaluate the effects of phosphate solubilizing bacteria and chemical phosphorous fertilizer on turnip (brassica rapa) forage yield under limited irrigation regimes, a field experiment was conducted in research farm of college of agriculture and natural resources, university of tehran, in karaj/iran during 2009 growing season. the experimental treatments were arranged as split plots. five lev...

A mosaic disease of turnip [Brassica rapa L.) occurs on Long Island, N. Y. Typical specimens of this disease were obtained for comparative greenhouse studies with virus diseases affecting certain cultivated crucifers in California {lô, 16,17,18)} It is the purpose of this paper to describe briefly the symptoms of this mosaic disease of turnip from New York, to present experimental evidence on t...

The effects of two different harvest stages (full flowering and full podding) on forage yield and quality of ten forage rape (Brassica napus L. var. oleifera) and three turnip (Brassica rapa L. var. rapa) cultivars were evaluated under rainfed conditions in a Mediterranean type climate at Bursa, Turkey, during the 2002/2003 and 2003/2004 growing seasons. Plant height, branches per plant, leaf l...

We analyzed the expression patterns of several pathogen defense-related genes in primary leaf buds of parsley by in situ RNA hybridization. Labeled antisense RNA probes were generated from seven selected cDNAs detecting transcripts from genes that are rapidly and strongly activated in cultured parsley cells upon treatment with fungal elicitor. These genes encode two enzymes of general phenylpro...
