Thirty-one strains of Rhizobium leguminosarum were screened for their ability to fix nitrogen (effectiveness) on lentils (Lens esculenta). Fluorescent antibodies prepared against four of the most effective strains (NZP 5400, Hawaii 5-0, Nitragin 128A12, and Nitragin 128C53) and one other effective strain, Nitragin 175P1, were strain specific. NZP 5400, Hawaii 5-0, and Nitragin 128A12 were selec...

Highest and lowest plant height at harvest was recorded with application of 0.08% Zn and in control treatment, respectively. Longest and shortest roots were recorded in the plots treated with 0.08% Zn and control respectively. Zn treatment of 0.04% produced maximum lentil seed whereas lowest was recorded under control. India is world largest homeland of vegetarian population and world leader in...

in order to study the characters affecting grain yield of lentil, a randomized complete block design with three replications conducted at dryland research station of northern khorasan (shirvan) in year 2002-2003. during the growth season and after harvesting, number of days to emergence, days to 50 percent flowering, days to maturity, number of primary and secondary branches, small and big diam...

The binding of fluorescein-conjugated lentil lectin and concanavalin A to the surface membrane of human peripheral blood lymphocytes was studied by flow cytometry. The lymphocytes bound 3-fold more lentil lectin molecules compared with concanavalin A molecules and lentil lectin binding approached saturation at a much lower concentration than did that of concanavalin A. Lentil lectin identified ...

We have previously demonstrated that lentil phytohemagglutinin (lentil-PHA) binds to human platelet membranes without causing either aggregation or the release reaction. When platelets are treated with thrombin, there is an increase in lentil-PHA binding suggesting the appearance of new receptor sites on the cell surface. We prepared a lentil-PHA-ferritin conjugate using affinity chromatography...

1. The concentrations of four serum glycoproteins, thyroxine-binding globulin, alpha 2-macroglobulin, alpha 1-antitrypsin and transferrin, as well as their reactivities with concanavalin A and lentil-lectin, were measured in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma or fulminant hepatic failure and in normal subjects. 2. Serum concentrations of thyroxine-binding globulin and alpha 1-antitrypsin we...
