Methyl jasmonate and Epi-brassinolide as plant growth regulators have significant biological effects on plant growth, including increased tolerance to salt stress in plants. In this study, the effects of salinity stress and its interaction with methyl jasmonate and Epi-brassinolide on chlorophyll concentration, rate of photosynthesis, transpiration, stomatal conductance and resistance and chlor...

abstractbackground and objectives: black mustard (brassica nigra (l.) koch) is an annual plant belongs brassicaceae. it has a variety of uses in traditional medicine for rheumatic and neurological pain. growth and development and production of medicinal plants, like other plants is influenced by genetic and environmental factors. select the most appropriate planting date and the most favorable ...

Hypopigmented mycosis fungoides is a rare variant of the cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, in which hypopigmented lesions are seen without the classical lesions. Only three cases are found in the Latin-American literature. We report the case of a 29-year-old black male patient, who first presented with these lesions 20 years ago. The treatment is similar to the classical forms of the disease: psoralen...

Chilli peppers have been shown to enhance diet-induced thermogenesis (DIT) and reduce energy intake (EI) in some studies, but there are few data on other pungent spices. The primary aim of the present study was to test the acute effects of black pepper (pepper), ginger, horseradish and mustard in a meal on 4 h postprandial DIT. The secondary aim was to examine the effects on subjective appetite...

Evolutionary theory of plant defences against herbivores predicts a trade-off between direct (anti-herbivore traits) and indirect defences (attraction of carnivores) when carnivore fitness is reduced. Such a trade-off is expected in plant species that kill herbivore eggs by exhibiting a hypersensitive response (HR)-like necrosis, which should then negatively affect carnivores. We used the black...

The efficacy of five native botanicals viz., neem, castor, akondo, basok and ata against the seed associated fungi in controlling leaf spot disease black mustard was evaluated. In blotter method, maximum reduction (85.91%) observed seeds treated with (1:1) while neem (1:1), (1:2) castor gave 83.52, 82.59 82.39%, respectively over control. Maximum germination (93%) akondo where supported 92, 92 ...

introduction: in comparison with rapeseed (canola), mustard has agronomic advantages such as drought tolerance and disease resistance, which empower this crop with a considerable oil production potential. mustard contains toxic substances e.g. glucosinolate, erucic acid, sinapine and tannin. the substances induce unpalatability, growth retardation, low feed efficiency, thyroid gland enlargement...
