ABSTRACT Background Antibiotic resistance makes antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) agents an alternative for treatment of pathogenic diseases. They are isolated from various animals invertebrates, vertebrates and plants. The present study shows the electrophoretic pattern of protein and peptides from Vicia Faba seed and reports our first attempt to study the antibacterial activity of Vicia faba...

Experiments were conducted to determine the settling behavior, survival, and reproduction of the beet leafhopper, Circulifer tenellus (Baker), when maintained on selected host plants. This leafhopper was recently identified in the Columbia Basin of Washington and Oregon as the probable vector of the beet leafhopper-transmitted virescence agent phytoplasma, causal agent of several vegetable crop...

Concerns have been raised in Europe about the efficiency, sustainability, and environmental impact of the first genetically modified crops. The committees and regulators in charge of approving procedures have encouraged a field trial approach for safety assessment studies under current agronomic conditions. We describe the gene flow from sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) in a multi-year and multi-c...

Mounting levels of insecticide resistance within Australian Helicoverpa spp. populations have resulted in the adoption of non-chemical IPM control practices such as trap cropping with chickpea, Cicer arietinum (L.). However, a new leaf blight disease affecting chickpea in Australia has the potential to limit its use as a trap crop. Therefore this paper evaluates the potential of a variety of wi...

Allium cepa, Guard Cell Protoplasts, Malate, Vicia faba Isolated and purified guard cell protoplasts of starch-containing ( Vicia faba) and starch-lacking (Allium cepa) stomata were used to study the metabolism of malate and Clanions as correlated with the K +-induced swelling of protoplasts. The correlation between swelling and malate synthesis in starch-containing and the inhibition of this c...

in order to study the intercropping of barley (hordeum vulgare l.) and faba bean (vicia faba l.) an experiment was conducted as factorial based on randomized complete block design with two factors and three replications at sari agricultural science and natural resources university during 2009. the first factor was two seed ratios include d1: 75 and 150 kg.ha-1 of faba bean and barley, respectiv...
