Four-week-old seedlings of Grindelia camporum Greene were planted in a mild calcareous alluvial soil collected from Mahibullapur, in Lucknow district (26 300 N latitude–80 300 E longitude) in pot culture. The soil, rated sulphur deficient on the basis of available soil sulphur, was fertilized with calcium sulphate to provide sulphur at the rate of 10, 25, 50, and 100 mg kg 1 soil. Observations ...

Mustard is a condiment that has been used for culinary, religious and cultural purposes by humanity since time immemorial. Mustard has figured prominently in the Indian tradition and its medicinal properties have been systematically evaluated and documented in the classical Ayurvedic texts. The paper attempts to carefully review the ancient and contemporary uses of mustard as food and medicine ...

references to the mustard bath, pack and poultice, etc. As such references, however, are scattered throughout the large field of medical literature, and as fresh suggestions for the therapeutic uses of mustard are frequently being published, there seems reason to believe that an article in which the known medical applications of mustard are collated may be of value to the prescriber. It is gene...

to study the effects of different amounts of sulphur and boron fertilizers on grain yield and grain quality of bread wheat cultivar pishtaz, an experiment was conduncted in karaj during two cropping seasons 2001-2003. three levels of sulphur (s0= 0, s1=250 and s2= 500 kgha-1) and three levels of boron (b0= 0, b1= 20 and b2= 40 kgha-1) were different treatments of the experiment arranged in rcbd...

This study compared the nutritional value of canola (B. napa) and mustard (B. hirta) press cakes obtained from the biodiesel industry as ingredients for use in diets fed to broiler chickens. A total of 210, one-day old, male broiler chicks were randomly assigned to one of seven dietary treatments. The control diet was based on wheat and soybean meal and contained 15% canola meal. For the experi...

Analytical procedures for the determination of selected speciation forms of sulphur have been proposed. The method for conversion of sulphur sols into homogeneous solutions sols allowing simultaneous determination of sulphur either in model solutions or in sols environmental samples has been described. The methods for determination of sulphur sols, elemental sulphur, soluble and insoluble sulph...

The reaction products formed by reacting deoxyguanosine with phosphoramide mustard at pH 7.4 have been analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography and Schiff's reaction. The adducts consisted of five fractions of phosphoramide mustard-imidazole ring-opened deoxyguanosine complexes and one fraction of each of intact phosphoramide mustard-deoxyguanosine and phosphoramide mustard-dideoxygua...

The paper presents a real-time PCR method allowing the simultaneous detection of traces of black mustard (Brassica nigra) and brown mustard (Brassica juncea) in food. The primers and the probe target the B. nigra partial RT gene for reverse transcriptase from gypsy-like retroelement 13G42-26. The real-time PCR method does not show any cross-reactivity with other Brassicaceae species with the ex...
