| in vitro antioxidant activity of non-cultivated vegetables of ethnic albanians in southern italy. | a total of 27 extracts from non-cultivated and weedy vegetables traditionally consumed by ethnic albanians (arbëreshë) in the vulture area (southern italy) were tested for their free radical scavenging activity (frsa) in the dpph (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazil radical) screening assay, for their in vitro non-enzymatic inhibition of bovine brain lipid peroxidation and for their inhibition of xanthine oxidase (xo). in both antioxidant assays strong activity was shown for leopoldia comosa (bulbs, s ... | 2002 | 12203269 |
| unusual microtubular cytoskeleton of apomictic embryo sac of chondrilla juncea l. | the mature apomictic embryo sac of chondrilla juncea is highly vacuolated and demonstrates a polarization similar to that of the amphimictic gametophyte. the microtubule cytoskeleton of this embryo sac is uncharacteristic and relatively weak. the microtubules are positioned along cell walls and resemble cortical microtubules of somatic cells. they do not form the parallel, brushlike structures observed around the filiform apparatus of synergids in the amphimictic embryo sac. in the apomictic emb ... | 2006 | 16736250 |
| uptake, translocation and metabolism of aminocyclopyrachlor in prickly lettuce, rush skeletonweed and yellow starthistle. | background: aminocyclopyrachlor is a new herbicide proposed to control broadleaf weeds and shrubs in non-crop and rangeland systems. to gain a better understanding of observed field efficacy, the uptake and translocation of foliar-applied aminocyclopyrachlor (dpx-mat28) and aminocyclopyrachlor methyl ester (dpx-kjm44) were evaluated in two annuals, prickly lettuce (lactuca serriola l.) and yellow starthistle (centaurea solstitialis l.), and one perennial, rush skeletonweed (chondrilla juncea l.) ... | 2011 | 21594961 |
