BACKGROUND AND AIMS Although some taxonomic studies in the genus Trigonella have been conducted, there has been no concerted effort to study the breeding system. This paper examines the floral structure and pollination system in a population of T. balansae, an annual pasture legume. METHODS Floral morphology, hand and vector pollination, stigma receptivity, pollen tube growth, using scanning ...

objective: scutellaria luteo-caerulea bornm. & snit. is one of the species of genus scutellaria, within the family of the lamiaceae, that is used for immune system stimulation and antibacterial effects in traditional medicine in iran. the aims of this study were to analyze essential oils and mineral element contents of leaves of  s. luteo-caerulea in flowering stage of development. materials an...

The development of preparation techniques that include freeze fracturing provide an ideal method for studying the differentiation of plant tissues in the scanning electron microscope. This is illustrated with reference to tapetal development in Catananche caerulea, which has a plasmodial tapetum, and in Lolium perenne, which has a secretory tapetum.

We describe the pathology in a captive adult White lipped treefrog (Litoria infrafrenata) with a squamous cell carcinoma of the skin and a free-living adult Common green treefrog (L. caerulea) with an adenocarcinoma of the skin. Although many amphibian neoplasms have been reported world wide, none had been described in Australian species.

THE METABOLOMIC profiling of Trigonella foenum-graecum and hamosa seeds was performed using NMR spectroscopy combined with multivariate data analysis (MVDA). The database the chemical shifts J-resolved two-dimensional technique were used to identify metabolites. Additionally, identified metabolites confirmed by comparison previously compounds as well. Among elucidated metabolites, choline, ster...

Spices are indispensable components of Indian cuisines since ancient times. Spices are considered as a rich source of bio-active antimicrobial compounds. Antibacterial potentials of ethanolic extracts of two Indian spices Syzygium aromaticum (Lavang) and Trigonella foenum-graecum (Methi) were investigated. The extracts were subjected to a screening of antibacterial activity against selected tes...
