the effects of salinity and supplied calcium chloride on growth and leaf ions concentration of tomato (lycopersicon esculentum l.) were investigated in gorgan, iran. a factorial experiment was conducted based on rcbd with four nacl levels (0, 50, 100, and 150 mm) and four cacl2 levels (0, 100, 200 and 300 mg l-1). data of growth, yield and leaf’s ca, k, and na content were subjected to analyze ...

background: plants are among promising and suitable platform systems for production of recombinant biopharmaceutical proteins due to several features such as safety, no need for fermentation, inexpensive investment, and fast and easy scale-up. human insulin is one of the most widely used medicines in the world. up to now different expression systems including escherichia coli, yeast and cho hav...

Oxystelma esculentum distributed in the southern part of India particularly in Tamilnadu has potential medicinal properties and it is used as diuretic, anthelmintic, oxytocic and laxative. Phytochemical screening of leaves extract revealed the presence of alkaloids, tannins, steroids, saponins, terpenoids, flavanoids, glycosides and phenolic compounds. The aim of this study was to screen the ph...

Efforts have been made to assess some plant extracts namely, Lycopersicon esculentum, Tagetus patula, Achras sapota, Azadirachta indica, Datura metel, Cymbopogon citrates, Polyalthia longifolia, Allium sativum and Allium cepa in vitro for the management of leaf spot (tikka) disease of groundnut cultivar Dhaka-1 caused by Cercospora arachidicola and Cercosporidium personatum. Results indicated t...

After interacting with local people of Kinnaur, nine wild vegetables viz. Allium wallichii, Crambe kotschyana, Diplezium esculentum , Eremurus himalaicus, Fagopyrum tataricum, Lepyrodiclis holosteoides, Rorippa nasturtiumaquaticum , Silene vulgaris, Urtica dioca were selected for proximate composition analysis, including mineral and vitamin content. Young green shoot tips and leaves of Crambe k...

The effect of 100 ppm solution of each of kinetin, adenine, uracil and thymine on the vegetative and reproductive growth of Cucumis sativus, phaseolus mungo, Oryza sativus, Raphanus sativus and Lycopersicum esculentum plants were studied. The rate of vegetative growth was found to be more in the Cucumis sativus, Raphanus sativus and Lycopersicum esculentum plants treated with all the chemicals ...

La mosquita blanca (Bemisia tabaci) en jitomate (Lycopersicon esculentum) México ocasiona daño directo y transmite enfermedades virales, que reducen el potencial productivo. Para su protección se pueden utilizar cubiertas flotantes (malla de polipropileno). Sin embargo, por microclima generan deben probarse cada condición agroecológica. El objetivo fue determinar los periodos cobertura optimice...

Photo-oxidative stress was imposed under natural solar radiation on exposed and shaded sections of detached fruit of immature green tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Miller = Solanum lycopersicum L.) mutants (anthocyanin absent, beta-carotene, Delta, and high pigment-1) and their nearly isogenic parents ('Ailsa Craig' and 'Rutgers'). After 5 h exposure to high solar irradiance, either with or wit...

An in vitro root explant tissue culture technique is described for determining susceptibility of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) breeding lines and cultivars to the root-knot nematode Meloidogyne incognita. Root explants were taken from 2-day-old seedlings cultured for 30 days at 28 C on Gamborg's B-5 medium with or without nematode inoculum. The remaining portion of the root and stem fr...

The sphinganine-analog mycotoxins (SAMs) fumonisin B1 and AAL toxins are inhibitors of eukaryotic sphinganine N-acyltransferase in vitro. Treatment of eukaryotes with SAMs generally results in an accumulation of sphingoid base precursors and a depletion of complex sphingolipids. The asc,asc genotypes of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) and Nicotiana umbratica are sensitive to SAMs and host of t...
