| molecular characterization of phytoplasmas of 'clover proliferation' group associated with three ornamental plant species in india. | suspected phytoplasma symptoms of little leaf, yellowing, chlorosis, phyllody, witches' broom, and stunting were observed on ten different ornamental plant species at new delhi, andhra pradesh, haryana, bengaluru, and pune, india, during march to july 2016. to investigate the possibility of phytoplasma etiology, pcr assays were performed using universal primer pairs (p1/p7 followed by 3far/3rev) specific to the phytoplasma 16sr rna gene. first round pcr amplification with primer pair p1/p7 did n ... | 2016 | 28330309 |
| comparative analysis of the properties of acid-base indicator of rose (rosa setigera), allamanda (allamanda cathartica), and hibiscus (hibiscus rosa-sinensis) flowers. | the need to develop effective alternative for synthetic indicators is the demand of present-day chemistry. the acid-base indicator properties of rose (rosa setigera), allamanda (allamanda cathartica), and hibiscus (hibiscus rosa-sinensis) flowers were examined. colour pigments were extracted from the flowers via cold and solvent extraction using soxhlet extractor. the ph value of the extracts with wavelengths of absorption was determined using ultraviolet spectrophotometer. from the results obta ... | 2015 | 26819757 |
| effects of changes in micro-weather conditions on structural features, total protein and carbohydrate content in leaves of the atlantic rain forest tree golden trumpet (tabebuia chrysotricha). | golden trumpet, tabebuia chrysotricha, is a native tree from the brazilian atlantic rain forest, with a broad latitudinal distribution. in this study, we investigated the potential effects of short-term changes in micro-weather conditions on structural features, and total protein and carbohydrate content of golden trumpet leaves, using structural and histochemical approaches. leaves were harvested in four different micro-weather conditions: 1. afternoon, after a hot, sunny day; 2. at dawn, after ... | 2016 | 27783764 |
| chemical composition, antioxidant activities and protein profiling of different parts of allamanda cathartica. | the phytochemical screening and protein profiling of allamanda cathartica was performed. biochemical analysis revealed that peroxidase (8730 ± 307 units/g), superoxide dismutase (181 ± 3.79 units/g), catalase (529 ± 28.9 units/g), protease (3598 ± 79.8 units/g), total phenolic contents (19,344 ± 657 μm/g), β-esterases (342 ± 46.5 units/g) and the total oxidant status were highest in the roots as compared to other plant parts. however, total soluble proteins (128 ± 1.54 mg/g), lycopene (5.70 ± 0. ... | 2014 | 24931146 |
