The article presents the locations of new species for Republic Altai (Juncus stygius), as well 6 rare in region (Oxycoccus microcarpus, Rubus arcticus, Lathyrus krylovii, Carex dioica, C. iljinii, Hierochloe arctica). Most cited are stenotopic inhabitants sphagnum peat bogs, which have a very limited distribution Mountains and they concentrated its northern northeastern parts.

In vast areas of India including Bhopal, a disease prevails named ' lathyrism ', the symptoms of which are identical with those of spastic spinal sclerosis. While for the latter disease we have no answer even to the question, whether exogene or endogene causes are responsible, we know in the case of lathyrism beyond any doubt that an exogene agent is the sole cause of it, namely the seed of Lat...

Introduction Grasspea (Lathyrus sativus L.) is produced as major crop in Bangladesh, China, India and Pakistan, and to a lesser extent in many countries of Europe, the Middle East, northern Africa, as well as in South America. It is extensively cultivated and naturalised in the Middle East countries of Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Syria and Lebanon and in Ethiopia, Egypt, Morocco, Algeria and Libya...

New discoveries of legumes in the lower Galilee at the prehistoric site of Ahihud in Israel shed light on early farming systems in the southern Levant. Radiocarbon dating of twelve legumes from pits and floors indicate that the farming of legumes was practiced in southern Levant as early as 10.240-10.200 (1σ) ago. The legumes were collected from pits and other domestic contexts dated to the Ear...

Grasspea (Lathyrus sativus L.) is an underutilized pulse crop which can withstand adverse environmental conditions such as drought, heat, salinity, waterlogging, pest and diseases. To facilitate hybridization studies, pollen cryoconservation was attempted in L. sativus. Among the different media combination tested for vitro germination, BK medium with 15% sucrose optimal. Pollen viability at st...

? 10n is effected by crawling on the balls of the eet and on the hands. Lathyrism was first recognised in Europe over yo. hundred and fifty years ago, and it is pvious that even in those early and unscientific ^lrnes it was ascribed to the ingestion of the ^eeds of various species of the genus Lathyrus, Gcause as early as 1671 the Duke of Wurtum^GlS issued an edict forbidding the use of these ^...

The intracellular distribution of the neurotoxin 2,4-diaminobutyric acid (DABA) in mature leaves of the perennial legume Lathyrus sylvestris L. var ;Lathco' (flatpea) was determined using subcellular fractions from mesophyll protoplasts. Chloroplasts contained about 15% of the cellular DABA. At least 75% of the DABA was vacuolar, based on the assumptions that each protoplast contained a single ...

In the last five decades study on plant secondary metabolites have been increasing. Higher plants with a wide range of secondary metabolites have been very important in the search of new therapeutic agents. Flavonoids are most widely distributed secondary natural metabolites that found in plants which occuring in free forms or as glycosides with polyphenolic structure. In this study secondary m...
