Ramsden January 2011 CRANFIELD UNIVERSITY School of Applied Science Bio-nanotechnology Academic Year 2010 - 2011 Mohammad Reza Ghalamboran Symbiotic nitrogen fixation enhancement due to magnetite nanoparticles Supervisor: Professor Jeremy J. Ramsden January 2011 This thesis is submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctoral of Bio-nanotechnology © Cranfield University 2011. All rights reserved. No part of this publication may be reproduced without the written permission of the copyright owner. Abstract Population pressure on food production motivates the search for new ways to increase the productivity of arable land, especially land rendered marginal by salinity or aridity. The global thesis motivating this work is that nanotechnology can benefit agriculture. My specific thesis is that that part of nanotechnology concerned with nanoparticle production can benefit soybean yield. I have focused on symbiotic nitrogen fixation, and systematically investigated the effects thereon of magnetite nanoparticles introduced into the rhizosphere.My main finding is that the presence of these nanoparticles increases nodulation -- both the number of nodules and the size of individual nodules. Since the experiments were carried out on plants provided with minimal nutrients, there was no corresponding increase in vegetative growth. Some evidence was obtained for the nanoparticles enhancing the "molecular dialogue" between soybean root and the Bradyrhizobia that become incorporated in the nodules. A secondary finding is that the nanoparticles enhance the growth rate of Bradyrhizobia in culture, which is advantageous for the preparation of inocula.

İstanbul Journal of Pharmacy, 51(2), 228-238. ABSTRACT Background and Aims: Alysicarpus glumaceus is a plant used in Africa, Asia and some parts of the Arabian Peninsula with folk- loric claims of having anti-tussive, anti-asthmatic, anti-diarrheal, abortifacient, anti-psychotic, anti-inflammatory, diuretic and stimulatory activities. The aim of this study was to determine the phytoconstituents present in the methanol extract (ME) of Alysicarpus glumaceus and its fractions. Methods: Standard qualitative phytochemical screening methods such as thin layer chromatography (TLC), gas chromatog- raphy mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy were employed for the profiling of the plant and identification of the phytoconstituents.

Abstract: The partial faunal reserve of Pama is situated in the province of Kompienga, in the South-East of Burkina Faso, with typical Sudanian savanna vegetation. Adjacent to the Arli National Park and the Pendjari National Park, it is part of the so-called WAP complex, one of the largest wildlife areas in West Africa. Up to now, only little has been known about its flora. The present study aimed at reducing this gap in knowledge, and represents an important tool for conservation and research. The list of species was compiled from the surveys carried out from 2001 to 2004, additional relevé data, and herbarium specimens. We found 450 species, which belong to 244 genera and 73 families. The most species-rich family is Poaceae (83 species), followed by Fabaceae (64), Cyperaceae (24), Rubiaceae (22), Euphor- biaceae (20), Combretaceae (15), Asteraceae (14), Caesalpiniaceae (14), Mimosaceae (12), and Convolvulaceae (11).

  • CHEMICAL CONTROL of SOYBEAN RUST (PHAKOPSORA Pachyrhizl) on SOYBEANS
    CHEMICAL CONTROL OF SOYBEAN RUST (PHAKOPSORA PACHYRHIZl) ON SOYBEANS by Eve Diane du Preez submitted in fulfilment ofthe requirements for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE in the Discipline ofPlant Pathology School ofApplied Environmental Sciences Faculty ofScience and Agriculture University ofKwaZulu-Natal Pietermaritzburg Republic ofSouth Africa March 2005 ABSTRACT Soybean rust (SBR) caused by Phakopsora pachyrhizi Syd. is an aggressive wind­ dispersed fungal disease which has spread around the world at an alarming rate in the last decade. The disease was fIrst reported in South Africa (SA) in 2001. It has become well established in the province ofKwaZulu-Natal. Reports are occasionally made from eastern Mpumalanga, late in the growing season, in years with good rainfall. Yield losses of 10 - 80% have been reported due to SBR infection. Literature was reviewed to better understand the pathogen in an attempt to fInd suitable disease management strategies. Many strategies involve delaying, rather than preventing, SBR infection. Of the two strategies to prevent infection, the use of fungicides was the only option for disease control in SA, as no resistant cultivars are available. Field trials were conducted to determine which fungicides are effective in controlling SBR. Further research was conducted to determine the timing, frequency and rate of fungicide applications for optimal control of SBR. Trials were evaluated for disease severity, seed yield and the effect offungicides on seed quality. Fungicides from the triazole class of the sterol biosynthesis inhibiting group of fungicides were found to be the most effective in controlling SBR. A fungicide from the strobilurin group was found to be less effective than the triazoles at the suggested rate, but was found to be as effective when evaluated at higher dosage rates.

  • The Diversity and Multiple Uses of Southern African Legumes
    CSIRO PUBLISHING Australian Systematic Botany, 2019, 32, 519–546 https://doi.org/10.1071/SB19028 The diversity and multiple uses of southern African legumes Ben-Erik Van Wyk Department of Botany and Plant Biotechnology, University of Johannesburg, PO Box 524, Auckland Park, 2006, Johannesburg, South Africa. Email: [email protected] Abstract. Southern Africa has a rich legume flora comprising 133 indigenous genera and 1620 indigenous species, of which 1059 species (65%) are endemic to the flora of southern Africa region. An additional 128 non-indigenous species have become naturalised, of which 59 are invasive, resulting in 1748 species from 165 genera. There are 22 (17%) endemic genera, one endemic tribe (Hypocalyptieae) and one near-endemic tribe (Podalyrieae, with 122 of the 123 species endemic). The diversity of uses (given as total/indigenous spp.) include food and beverages (127/115 spp.), medicine (338/291 spp.), magic and charms (113/104 spp.), timber (59/55 spp.), firewood (43/31 spp.) and 10 more minor use categories. Regression analyses showed that the levels of endemism in subfamilies and tribes are directly related to the numbers of species but that the number of useful species is not related to species numbers, except for the non-papilionoid subfamilies (all uses) and non- genistoid papilionoids (medicinal uses only). The Phaseoleae and Millettieae showed high residual values in several analyses, indicating that they have been favoured in the selection of useful plants. Diversity in habit and chemistry seems to explain at least partly the use patterns. Additional keywords: commercial legumes, endemism, Fabaceae, genistoid legumes, least-square regression analysis, Leguminosae, ornamental legumes, pasture legumes, flora of southern Africa.

Le raccolte hanno interessato i litorali sabbiosi, la pianura costiera e numerosi wadis che sboccano nell’Oceano Indiano (da Rachyut, Al Mughsayl, Salalah, Khor Rori, Mirbat, Hadbin fi no ad Hasik). Particolare attenzione è stata dedicata all’esplorazione dei versanti monsonici delle montagne (soprattutto Jabal Qara) dove si concentra la maggiore ricchezza fl oristica e il mag- gior numero di taxa endemici.
