Sponge gourd (Luffa cylindricd) seeds contain several biologically active proteins. Recently, we found that the mature seeds contain three types of trypsin inhibitors having molecular masses of about 13 kDa (type I), 6.5 kDa (type II), and 3.2 kDa (type III). Furthermore, preliminary experiments suggested that the type III one might be a domain unit of these inhibitors. Here, we present the iso...

The research used an artificial neural network (ANN) to examine optimum extraction conditions and phytochemical contents of Luffa cylindrica seed oil. oil yield was predicted using network. performance the ANN response surface methodology models compared. yielded 7.567% yield, 185.676 mg/l phenol, 45.087 terpineol at 75.57 °C temperature, 5.77 h time, 10.68 g/mol n-hexane concentration, respect...

The present investigation entitled Evaluation of different genotypes Sponge Gourd (Luffa cylindrica L.) under Prayagraj agro climatic conditions was carried out at Department Horticulture, SHUATS, (U.P.) during kharif season 2022, for evaluation gourd with three replications in Randomized Block Design (RBD). Studies showed that, among all the genotypes, IET 2021/SPGVAR-5 observed to be performe...

Luffa Cylindrica (LC) is the dried fruit of a sponge-type plant belonging to Curcubitacea family. Recent advancements in hierarchical and lightweight structures have aroused interest this natural fibrous material for illustrating an extraordinary multi-porous architecture high anisotropy low density. To extent its biodegradable nature, such structure potentially apt replace conventional porous-...

the present study was undertaken to investigate the role of banana extract (be) on synchronous plantlet formation from seeds of dendrobium lituiflorum lindl. the seedlings formed on modified knudson c (kc) medium supplemented with 20% (v/v) be had significantly high fresh and dry weights. morphologically uniform plantlets with elongated leaves and well developed roots were formed on kc medium w...
