| analytical characterization of salicornia bigelovii seed oil cultivated in pakistan. | seeds of salicornia bigelovii (hybrid variety sos-10) were collected from five coastal areas of pakistan on the arabian sea. hexane-extracted oil content was 27.2-32.0%. results of other physical and chemical parameters of the extracted oil were as follows: iodine value, 128.0-130.5; refractive index (40 degrees c), 1.4680-1.4695; unsaponifiable matter, 1.63-2.00%; saponification value, 178.6-189.0; density (30 degrees c), 0.9036-0.9074. tocopherols (alpha, gamma, and delta) in the oil ranged up ... | 2002 | 12105947 |
| salicornia bigelovii torr.: an oilseed halophyte for seawater irrigation. | the terrestrial halophyte, salicornia bigelovii torr., was evaluated as an oilseed crop for direct seawater irrigation during 6 years of field trials in an extreme coastal desert environment. yields of seed and biomass equated or exceeded freshwater oilseed crops such as soybean and sunflower. the seed contained 26 to 33 percent oil, 31 percent protein, and was low in fiber and ash (5 to 7 percent). the oil and meal were extracted by normal milling equipment, and the oil was high in linoleic aci ... | 1991 | 17802093 |
| triterpenoids from the herbs of salicornia bigelovii. | a new nortriterpene saponin, 3-o-β-d-glucuronopyranosyl-30-norolean-12,20(29)-dien-23- oxo-28-oic acid, namely bigelovii d (11), was isolated from the hydroalcoholic extract of herbs of salicornia bigelovii along with 10 known saponins (1-10). their chemical structures were identified on the basis of spectroscopic analyses including two-dimensional nmr and a comparison with literature data. some of these compounds showed potent antifungal activities in vitro. compounds 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10 and 11 d ... | 2015 | 26569214 |
| phylogenetic relationships of globodera millefolii, g. artemisiae, and cactodera salina based on its region of ribosomal dna. | globodera millefolii and g. artemisiae are interesting because their type localities (estonia and russia, respectively) are geographically distant from those of the potato cyst nematodes and other globodera species that seem to have originated in the western world, and because the type host for each is a member of compositae rather than solanaceae. sequence data for its1, its2, and 5.8s ribosomal dna (its rdna) for g. millefolii and g. artemisiae were nearly identical to sequence data for cactod ... | 1999 | 19270922 |
| chemical characterization and hydrothermal pretreatment of salicornia bigelovii straw for enhanced enzymatic hydrolysis and bioethanol potential. | salicornia bigelovii straw was characterized and evaluated as a potential lignocellulosic bioethanol feedstock. s. bigelovii used in the study was grown in the united arab emirates using saltwater (40ppt) for irrigation. salt removal was performed prior to pretreatment to protect the processing equipment and avoid inhibition of enzymes and yeast. composition of the washed biomass was comparable to traditional lignocellulosic biomasses with relatively high glucan and xylan content (26 and 22g/100 ... | 2014 | 24362358 |
| x-ray absorption spectroscopy study shows that the rapid selenium volatilizer, pickleweed (salicornia bigelovii torr.), reduces selenate to organic forms without the aid of microbes. | in many plant species, selenium (se) volatilization is limited by the reduction of selenate and its chemical conversion to organic se compounds, a process that may be facilitated by rhizosphere microbes. this study was conducted to determine if pickleweed (salicornia bigelovii torr.), which is characterized by having high rates of se volatilization from selenate, is able to reduce selenate into organic forms of se axenically, or whether it requires the presence of microbes. x-ray absorption spec ... | 2001 | 11722134 |
| cactodera salina n. sp. from the estuary plant, salicornia bigelovii, in sonora, mexico. | cactodera salina n. sp. (heteroderinae) is described from roots of the estuary plant salicornia bigelovii (chenopodiaceae), in puerto pefiasco, sonora, mexico, at the northern tip of the sea of cortez. the halophyte host is grown experimentally for oilseed in plots flooded daily with seawater. infected plants appear to be adversely affected by c. salina relative to plants in noninfested plots. cactodera salina extends the morphological limits of the genus. females and cysts have a very small or ... | 1997 | 19274182 |
