Prickly sida (Sida spinosa), hemp sesbania (Sesbania herbacea), and pitted morningglory (Ipomoea lacunose) are becoming problematic weeds in many crops including corn soybean. Two separate field experiments, under non-crop conditions, were conducted at the Mississippi State University Delta Research Extension Center, Stoneville, MS to evaluate response of these eight selective herbicides three ...

The distribution and abundance of high aquatic plants in the Gorganroud River was examined at five stations in four seasons (20 samples) over one year period during 2009-2010. We identified 21 species of aquatic plants from 21 genera, belonging to 9 families. These species were determined as 3 halophytic species (14.2%) and 18 high aquatic plants (85.7%).The highest species diversity was observ...

Fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) extracts of four halophytic plants, viz. Arthrocnemum indicum, Salicornia brachiata, Suaeda maritima and Suaeda monoica belonging to the family Chenopodiaceae, were prepared and their composition was analyzed by GC-MS. The FAME extracts were also screened for antibacterial and antifungal activities. The GC-MS analysis revealed the presence of more saturated fatty ...

Enzymes which are affected by the addition of inorganic salts during in vitro assay were extracted from salt-sensitive Phaseolus vulgaris, salt-tolerant Atriplex spongiosa, and Salicornia australis and tested for sensitivity to NaCl. In each case malate dehydrogenase, aspartate transaminase, glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase, and isocitrate dehydrogenase showed NaCl responses similar to those f...
