Purification of trypsin inhibitor from seeds of Cicer arietinum (L.) and its in...
Nair,Meera; Sandhu,Sardul Singh; Babbar,AnitaTrypsin inhibitors (TI) have crucial functions in plant defense against pests, and recent studies reveal their diversity in stress response. Disease and herbivore infestations are harmful to plant growth, but the response of TI in Cicer arietinum (L.) in Central India has been less studied. In the present study, we partially characterized the TI from Cicer arietinum (L.) seeds and evaluated its insecticidal pot...
Lipoxygenase activity in Brazilian rice cultivars with variable resistance to l...
Sandhu,Sardul Singh; Mazzafera,Paulo; Azini,Luiz Ernesto; Bastos,Cândido Ricardo; Colombo,Carlos AugustoEight rice lines viz. CNA 8983, IAC-1732, IAC-1733, IAC-1748, IAC-1736, IAC-201, Volano and Arborea were evaluated in greenhouse for resistance against the leaf blast disease caused by Magnoparthe gracea. Lines CNA 8983, IAC 1732, IAC 1733 and IAC 1748 showed satisfactory resistance against the blast fungus while IAC 1736 and IAC 201 were intermediate and Volano and Arborea susceptible. All lines did not have l...
Pilocarpine content and molecular diversity in jaborandi
Sandhu,Sardul Singh; Abreu,Ilka Nacif; Colombo,Carlos Augusto; Mazzafera,PauloPilocarpine is an imidazol alkaloid exclusively found in Pilocarpus genus and P. microphyllus accumulates its highest content in the leaves. There is no report in the literature on the variability of the pilocarpine content in this genus. A population of 20 genotypes of P. microphyllus from the state of Maranhão, Brazil, was analyzed for Random Amplification of Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers and pilocarpine con...
