Summary Allelopathic effects of different plant allelochemicals have become the focus studies that aim to determine new pesticidal compounds. Plant extracts with chemical compositions can be obtained using methods extraction, whereas dealing allelopathic properties use biotests obtain fast and precise results. Such were undertaken after noticing industrial hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) on surroundi...

Allelopathy between Mucuna pruriens (velvet bean) and Lactuca sativa (lettuce) was studied under 3D-clinorotation. Growth of both roots and shoots of lettuce seedlings was suppressed by the presence of velvet bean. The degree of suppression was less on the clinostat compared to the normal static earth gravity. L-DOPA (L-3, 4-dihydroxyphenylalanine) is known to be a major substance in allelopath...

Preparation and characterization of antisera against lettuce (Lactuca sativa L., cv. Grand Rapids) and pea (Pisum sativum L., cv. Alaska) phytochrome is described. These antisera, together with previously obtained antisera against zucchini (Cucurbita pepo L., cv. Black Beauty) and oat (Avena sativa L., cv. Garry) phytochrome, were used to compare by Ouchterlony double immunodiffusion phytochrom...

Recently, 6-(2-naphthyl)-2, 3-dihydro-as-triazine-3-thione (NDTT) was synthesized in laboratory and used successfully for the spectrophotometric determination of nanogram levels of Cu2+ in aqueous solution. This reagent forms a specific red complex with Cu2+ ions after the extraction by chloroform at alkaline pH. The absorption of the complex in the UV region (313 nm) is about 8 times as strong...
