a soap technique for cell separation to study the seed coat of sesbania punicea.	a technique is described for separating plant cells used for morphological studies. the plant material is placed in a concentrated solution of olive oil castile soap for 1-2 days or more. the material is then thoroughly washed and placed between two glass slides. the upper glass slide is lifted from the lower one, then gently pressed down several times. through this procedure malpighian cells of the seed coat of sesbania punicea, mesophyll cells of euphorbia peplus and of trifolium pratense and ...	1993	7687883
two marine agrobacterium producers of sesbanimide antibiotics.	sesbanimides are cytotoxic compounds, originally isolated in 1983 from seeds of the leguminous plants sesbania drummondii and sesbania punicea. in this paper we describe the bacterial production of sesbanimides by two "marine agrobacterium"; strain ph-103 which produces sesbanimide-a and strain ph-a034c which produces sesbanimide-c. the isolation and taxonomy of the producing microorganisms, fermentation and isolation of sesbanimides are reported.	1998	9580130
