Hakea prostrata (Proteaceae) is adapted to severely phosphorus-impoverished soils and extensively replaces phospholipids during leaf development. We investigated how polar lipid profiles change during leaf development and in response to external phosphate supply. Leaf size was unaffected by a moderate increase in phosphate supply. However, leaf protein concentration increased by more than 2-fol...

With the intent to control glyphosate–resistant and hard to control weeds, a formulation of 2,4-D choline (24.4%) and glyphosate (22.1%) (Enlist DuoTM herbicide) (Note 1) has been developed recently to be used post-emergence in corn and soybean tolerant to Enlist DuoTM in the United States. Dose response studies were conducted under greenhouse conditions for the evaluation of effective rates of...

a major part of the rangelands of iran are located in arid and semi-arid regions. in this climate, rainfall fluctuation is an important factor which affects vegetation and forage production. in dry years that rainfall decreases, surface vegetation and forage production is damaged. this study was conducted on semi-steppic rangelands of ardebil over nine years (1999-2007), to study of vegetation ...

Eclipta prostrata has been used as a traditional medicinal plant to prevent dementia and to enhance memory in Asia. Its potential as a nootropic and as an antioxidant have been reported in mice. We hypothesized that Eclipta may affect the formation of neurotransmitters and the inhibition of oxidative stress. Charles River cesarean-derived rats (male, 180 ± 10 g) were fed experimental diets supp...

Waterlogging and salinity are considered to be the two major factors affecting growth and plant distribution in salt marshes. But while the effects of salinity are well known, few studies have investigated the impact of the former on plant survival. The purpose of this laboratory experiment was to determine the effects of water level on growth and survival of the halophytes Salicornia europaea ...

The objective of the study was to compare Vida (pyraflufen) with various tank mix partners for glyphosate-resistant kochia control. Flixweed control complete in fallow all herbicides by 28 days after treatment. Kochia best when applied glyphosate and Spartan. However, due part extremely dry conditions, no treatment controlled more than 83% at treatment, began decline this DAT.

Saponaria prostrata (S. prostrata) is an endemic and medicinal plant that contains secondary metabolites such as flavonoids, phenolic compounds, fatty acids, triterpenoids. This study was carried out to evaluate the antioxidant potentials, composition of S. prostrata. Antioxidant properties ethanol water extracts were evaluated by three different in vitro bioanalytical methods including CUPRAC ...

Hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) have been known to play a key role in the pathogenesis of liver fibrosis. In the course of screening antifibrotic activity of natural products employing HSC-T6, a rat hepatic stellate cell line as an in vitro assay system, the methanolic extract of aerial parts of Eclipta prostrata L. showed significant inhibitory activity on HSCs proliferation. Activity-guided fra...
