The severity, area under disease progress curve (AUDPC), plant vegetable has other interesting common names in different height and plant weight were measured and significant region like Ceylon spinach, Malabar spinach, saan choy variations was found against different treatment (Chinese), mongtoi (Vietnamese), alugbati (Philippines), combinations. Among the treatment combinations, seed puisaag (Bengali), remayong (Malay) etc. Nutritionally, it is treating with Carbendazim followed by foliar spray with low content of carbohydrate and fat but holds good amount Carbendazim, seed coating with BAU bio-fungicide of vitamins (Vitamin-A -3250IU/100g), minerals Iron 1.4%, followed by foliar spray with Carbendazim, only foliar spray Calcium 0.15%, and Antioxidants (ß-carotene, lutein, with Carbendazim and only spray of PGP hormone zea-xanthin) [1]. significantly reduced disease incidence and severity with Leaves are the prime edible parts of Indian spinach increasing of plant height and weight. Interestingly, foliar vegetable. Since, the yield or production data of this application of PGP hormone reduces disease incidence and vegetable is not available in Bangladesh; it is assumed that, a severity by 58.38% and 63.8% in both the variety of Indian vast amount of yield is lost in terms of quantity and quality spinach, respectively over control, whereas; in both the due to various constraints. Among the constraints, diseases variety disease incidence and severity is reduced by seed especially Cercospora leaf spot plays a vital role for the treatment with Carbendazim followed by foliar spray with qualitative loss of this vegetable.

  • Anredera Cordifolia Madeira Vine Bassellaceae
    Anredera cordifolia Madeira vine Bassellaceae Forest Starr, Kim Starr, and Lloyd Loope United States Geological Survey--Biological Resources Division Haleakala Field Station, Maui, Hawai'i January, 2003 OVERVIEW Anredera cordifolia, native from Paraguay to southern Brazil and northern Argentina, is widely cultivated as an ornamental vine in tropical regions of the world (Wagner et al. 1999). A. cordifolia has become a major pest in places where it is cultivated, such as Hawai'i, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and other Pacific Islands (HDOA 1992, Auckland Regional Council 1999, PIER 2000, Weeds Australia 2000). Invasive characteristics include an ability to readily escape cultivation via dispersal of tuberous roots, aggressive, smothering, and vining nature, and difficulty in control once established. Though listed as a Hawai'i state noxious weed, A. cordifolia is already fairly established in some areas and is naturalized on all of the main Hawaiian islands, but is not documented from Ni'ihau and Kaho'olawe ( Nagata 1995, Wagner et al. 1999). On Maui, A. cordifolia is currently not sold or distributed as a landscape plant, but persists from previous plantings in older neighborhoods and estates, and is naturalized in disturbed areas, gulches, along old rock walls, and adjacent to initial plantings. There is no control work currently being done to remove existing plants. It has not been observed invading natural areas on Maui yet. TAXONOMY Family: Basellaceae (Basella family) (Wagner et al. 1999). Latin name: Anredera cordifolia (Ten.) Steenis (Wagner et al. 1999).

Box 50007, SE-104 05 Stockholm, Sweden A molecular dating of the phylogenetically basal eudicots (Ranunculales, Proteales, Sabiales, Buxales and Trochodendrales sensu Angiosperm Phylogeny Group II) has been performed using several fossils as minimum age constraints. All rbcL sequences available in GenBank were sampled for the taxa in focus. Dating was performed using penalized likelihood, and results were compared with nonparametric rate smoothing. Fourteen eudicot fossils, all with a Cretaceous record, were included in this study for age constraints. Nine of these are assigned to basal eudicots and the remaining ®ve taxa represent core eudicots. Our study shows that the choice of methods and fossil constraints has a great impact on the age estimates, and that removing one single fossil change the results in the magnitude of tens of million years. The use of several fossil constraints increase the probability of approaching the true ages. Our results suggest a rapid diversi®cation during the late Early Cretaceous, with all the lineages of basal eudicots emerging during the latest part of the Early Cretaceous. The age of Ranunculales was estimated to 120 my, Proteales to 119 my, Sabiales to 118 my, Buxales to 117 my, and Trochodendrales to 116 my.

Email: [email protected] Abstract The study assesses the quality of oil extracted from two species of Malabar Spinach (Green Malabar Spinach and Red Malabar Spinach). The aim of the study is to determine the usefulness of the oils extracted from these two species of Malabar spinach for industrial usage and human consumption while the objectives are; the extraction of oils from the spinaches, determination of free fatty acids profile and evaluation of the usefulness of the extracted oils. Soxhlet apparatus was used for the extraction of the oils with hexane as the extracting medium. Gas chromatogram was used to carry out the fatty acid methyl ester analysis to determine the fatty acid composition of the oils. Both saturated and unsaturated fatty acids were present in both oils. The saturated fatty acids present were; lauric acid, arachidic acid, behenic acid, lignocenaric acid, palmitic acid, stearic acid and myristic acid. The unsaturated fatty acids present were; oleic acid, eicosenoic acid, palmatoleic acid, erucic acid, docosahexanaenoic acid, arachidonic acid, linoleic acid and alpha-linoleic acid. The total unsaturated fatty acid present in both oils amounted to about 52.36% in the green Malabar spinach oil and about 50.7% in the red Malabar spinach oil. The total saturated fatty acid present in the oils amounted to about 21.41% in the green Malabar spinach oil and 22.19% in the red Malabar spinach oil.
