TL;DR: The combined S + HA treatment was found to be highly effective at improving the growth and yield of pea plants by alleviating the inhibitory effects of soil salinity stress.
Abstract: SUMMARY The effects of sulphur (S) and/or humic acid (HA) on the growth, leaf anti-oxidant levels, leaf nutrients, and yields of pea (Pisum sativum L.) plants grown on reclaimed saline soil (EC = 8.2 - 8.5 dS m -1 ) were investigated. Two field experiments were performed in a randomised complete block design with four treatments and four replicates for each treatment. Sulphur and HA were applied at the rates of 500 kg ha -1 or 200 kg ha -1 , respectively, singly or in combination. Neither S nor HA was included in the controls. Soil application of S and/or HA significantly increased shoot lengths, the number of branches plant -1 , leaf area plant -1 , shoot dry weight plant -1 , the contents of leaf pigments, leaf free proline, leaf macronutrients (N, P, and K), seed protein, and the total yields of pods and seeds ha -1 , when compared with non-treated control plants. In contrast, there were significant reductions in leaf Na + ion contents under the S and/or HA treatments. The combined S + HA treatment was found to be highly effective at improving the growth and yield of pea plants by alleviating the inhibitory effects of soil salinity stress. The same trends were observed over two growing seasons (2010 and 2011).

TL;DR: Significant marker-trait associations were identified among certain markers with eight mineral nutrient concentrations in seed and other important phenotypic traits that will be useful in marker-assisted selection to breed pea cultivars with desirable agronomic traits and end-user qualities.
Abstract: Genetic diversity, population structure and genome-wide marker-trait association analysis was conducted for the USDA pea (Pisum sativum L.) core collection. The core collection contained 285 accessions with diverse phenotypes and geographic origins. The 137 DNA markers included 102 polymorphic fragments amplified by 15 microsatellite primer pairs, 36 RAPD loci and one SCAR (sequence characterized amplified region) marker. The 49 phenotypic traits fall into the categories of seed macro- and micro-nutrients, disease resistance, agronomic traits and seed characteristics. Genetic diversity, population structure and marker-trait association were analyzed with the software packages PowerMarker, STUCTURE and TASSEL, respectively. A great amount of variation was revealed by the DNA markers at the molecular level. Identified were three sub-populations that constituted 56.1%, 13.0% and 30.9%, respectively, of the USDA Pisum core collection. The first sub-population is comprised of all cultivated pea varieties and landraces; the second of wild P. sativum ssp. elatius and abyssinicum and the accessions from the Asian highland (Afghanistan, India, Pakistan, China and Nepal); while the third is an admixture containing alleles from the first and second sub-populations. This structure was achieved using a stringent cutoff point of 15% admixture (q-value 85%) of the collection. Significant marker-trait associations were identified among certain markers with eight mineral nutrient concentrations in seed and other important phenotypic traits. Fifteen pairs of associations were at the significant levels of P ≤ 0.01 when tested using the three statistical models. These markers will be useful in marker-assisted selection to breed pea cultivars with desirable agronomic traits and end-user qualities.
TL;DR: C. sativum essential oil is active in vitro against M. canis and Candida spp.
Abstract: The aims of this study were to test the antifungal activity, toxicity and chemical composition of essential oil from C. sativum L. fruits. The essential oil, obtained by hydro-distillation, was analyzed by gas chromatography/mass spectroscopy. Linalool was the main constituent (58.22%). The oil was considered bioactive, showing an LC50 value of 23 µg/mL in the Artemia salina lethality test. The antifungal activity was evaluated against Microsporum canis and Candida spp. by the agar-well diffusion method and the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and the minimum fungicidal concentration (MFC) were established by the broth microdilution method. The essential oil induced growth inhibition zones of 28 ± 5.42 and 9.25 ± 0.5 for M. canis and Candida spp. respectively. The MICs and MFCs for M. canis strains ranged from 78 to 620 and 150 to 1,250 µg/mL, and the MICs and MFCs for Candida spp strains ranged from 310 to 620 and 620 to 1,250 µg/mL, respectively. C. sativum essential oil is active in vitro against M. canis and Candida spp. demonstrating good antifungal activity.
TL;DR: Bioassay of the identified allelochemicals revealed that benzoic, salicylic, and malonic acids significantly reduced the growth of P. vulgaris even at low concentrations.
TL;DR: The essential oil of C. sativum can play an important role in stored grain protection and reduce the risks associated with the use of synthetic insecticides.
Abstract: The biological activity of essential oil extracted from coriander, Coriandrum sativum L. (Apiaceae), seeds against adults of Tribolium confusum Duval (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) and Callosobruchus maculatus F. (Coleoptera: Bruchidae) was investigated in a series of laboratory experiments. Fumigant toxicity was assessed at 27 ± 1°C and 65 ± 5% R.H., in dark condition. Dry seeds of the plant were subject to hydrodistillation using a Clevenger-type apparatus. The composition of essential oil was analyzed by gas chromatography mass spectrometry. The predominant components in the oil were linalool (57.57%) and geranyl acetate (15.09%). The mortality of 1-7-day-old adults of the insect pests increased with concentration from 43 to 357 μL/L air and with exposure time from 3 to 24 h. In the probit analysis, LC(50) values (lethal concentration for 50% mortality) showed that C. maculatus (LC(50) = 1.34 μL/L air) was more susceptible than T. confusum (LC(50) = 318.02 μL/L air) to seed essential oil of this plant. The essential oil of C. sativum can play an important role in stored grain protection and reduce the risks associated with the use of synthetic insecticides.

TL;DR: It was determined that levamisole, with an intensity of 4+, and methanolic extracts of A. sativum L., have a good anti-leech effect and can be shown to be effective in cases of leech biting, while metronidazole and distilled water were negative.
Abstract: This study was carried out to detect the effects of methanolic extracts of Allium sativum L. on Limnatis nilotica. In this experimental study in September 2010, a number of leeches (70 in total) from the southern area of Ilam province were prepared, the effects of the methanolic extract of A. sativum L. with levamisole and metronidazole as the control drugs were compared, and distilled water was evaluated as the placebo group which investigated L. nilotica using anti-leech assay. The average time of paralysis and death of Limnatis nilotica for Metronidazole, methanol extract of Allium sativum L. and Levamisole was 718.77 ± 66.3 min, 5.11 ± 1.76 min and 144.55 ± 57.217 min, respectively. Distilled water and garlic tablets at a dose of 400 mg were determined as the inert group. In this research, the attraction time of death of leeches among different treatments is significant. In this study, it was determined that levamisole, with an intensity of 4+, and methanolic extracts of A. sativum L., with an intensity of 2+, have a good anti-leech effect and can be shown to be effective in cases of leech biting, while metronidazole and distilled water were negative.
TL;DR: Varieties with a stable L/V ratio can prove to be useful in the food industry and other agronomical factors (soil type and seeding density) should be considered for the production of pea seeds with a specific L/Vs ratio.
Abstract: BACKGROUND: Many research studies have investigated the impact of agronomical factors on the protein content of pea (Pisum sativum). This study aimed to establish if a correlation exists between protein content and legumin/vicilin (L/V) ratio in pea seeds and to identify agronomical factors that have an impact on this ratio.
RESULTS: The L/V ratio was positively correlated with protein content (r = 0.58, P⩽0.01), but no linear regression was applicable (adjusted R2 = 0.31). Both variety and cultivation year had a highly significant effect on the ratio (P < 0.001). The interaction between these two factors was also highly significant (P < 0.001), some varieties being less sensitive to climatic conditions than others. Cultivation location had a highly significant effect (P < 0.01). There was no interaction between variety and location. Seeding density had a highly significant effect on the ratio (P < 0.01), with a saturation effect above 60 seeds m−2.
CONCLUSION: Further studies should establish if a linear regression model can be applied to pea varieties independently. Varieties with a stable L/V ratio can prove to be useful in the food industry. Other agronomical factors (soil type and seeding density) should be considered for the production of pea seeds with a specific L/V ratio. Copyright © 2011 Society of Chemical Industry
TL;DR: Evaluation of the larvicidal effect exhibited by essential oils of Dianthus caryophyllus, Lepidium sativum, Pimpinella anisum, and Illicium verum against late third to early fourth instar mosquito larvae of Culex pipiens allows some rationalization on the relative importance of the major compounds regarding the larVicidal activity of selected essential oils and their potential use as vector control agents.
Abstract: Mosquitoes constitute a severe health problem in many areas all over the world. There are many regions of the tropics and subtropics where mosquitoes are one of the main reasons for inhibiting the economic upgrade. Except nuisance, their medical importance is another matter of attention since mosquitoes are vectors for a wide variety of vector-borne diseases. Due to disadvantages of currently used chemical control methods, it is unavoidable to search for eco-friendly new molecules. We report herein the evaluation of the larvicidal effect exhibited by essential oils of Dianthus caryophyllus, Lepidium sativum, Pimpinella anisum, and Illicium verum against late third to early fourth instar mosquito larvae of Culex pipiens. Furthermore, phytochemical analysis of plant samples revealed their major compounds to be β-caryophyllene, eugenol, eucalyptol, α-terpinyl acetate, and (E)-anethole which were also tested for their potential larvicidal activity. For D. caryophyllus and L. sativum, this was the first report on the chemical composition of their essential oils. The essential oils of I. verum and P. anisum demonstrated high larvicidal activity with a LC(50) <18 mg L(-1). The other two essential oils of D. caryophyllus and L. sativum revealed moderate larvicidal activity, displaying a LC(50) value above 50 mg L(-1). Among the pure components, the most toxic were eugenol, (E)-anethole, and α-terpinyl acetate, with LC(50) values 18.28, 16.56, and 23.03 mg L(-1), respectively. Eucalyptol (1,8 cineole) and β-caryophyllene were inactive at concentrations even as high as 100 mg L(-1), showing the least significant activity against mosquito larvae. Results allow some rationalization on the relative importance of the major compounds regarding the larvicidal activity of selected essential oils and their potential use as vector control agents.
TL;DR: Inhibition of embryo cell expansion by MyA depends on environmental cues, which is evident from the light-modulated severity of the MyA-mediated inhibition of apoplastic superoxide accumulation.
Abstract: Myrigalone A (MyA) is a rare flavonoid in fruit leachates of Myrica gale, a deciduous shrub adapted to flood-prone habitats. As a putative allelochemical it inhibits seed germination and seedling growth. Using Lepidium sativum as a model target species, experiments were conducted to investigate how environmental cues modulate MyA's interference with key processes of seed germination. Time course analyses of L. sativum testa and endosperm rupture under different light conditions and water potentials were combined with quantifying testa permeability, endosperm weakening, tissue-specific gibberellin (GA) and abscisic acid (ABA) contents, as well as embryo growth and apoplastic superoxide production important for cell expansion growth. Lepidium sativum testa permeability and early water uptake by imbibition is enhanced by MyA. During late germination, MyA inhibits endosperm weakening and embryo growth, both processes required for endosperm rupture. Inhibition of embryo cell expansion by MyA depends on environmental cues, which is evident from the light-modulated severity of the MyA-mediated inhibition of apoplastic superoxide accumulation. Several important key weakening and growth processes during early and late germination are targets for MyA. These effects are modulated by light conditions and ambient water potential. It is speculated that MyA is a soil seed bank-destroying allelochemical that secures the persistence of M. gale in its flood-prone environment.
TL;DR: It is found that the method using CsCl separation is a useful tool in breeding for pea weevil resistance and is able to introgress peaWeevil resistance from P. fulvum into cultivated field pea through backcrossing to produce several advanced pea Weevil resistant lines following this procedure.
Abstract: The pea weevil, Bruchus pisorum, is one of the most intractable pest problems of cultivated field pea (Pisum sativum) in the world. Pesticide application, either as a contact insecticide spray to the field pea crop or fumigation of the harvested seed, is the only available method for its control. The aim of the study was to develop a quick and reliable method to screen for pea weevil resistance and increase efficiency in breeding for this important trait. Backcrossed progenies derived from an interspecific cross between cultivated field pea and its wild relative (Pisum fulvum, source of resistance for pea weevil) were subjected to natural infestation in field plots. Mature seeds were hand-harvested, stored to allow development of adult beetles, and then separated into infested and non-infested using a density separation method in 30% caesium chloride (CsCl). Susceptibility and resistance of the progenies were calculated based on this method and further confirmed by a glasshouse bioassay. Resistance in backcross populations improved considerably through selection of resistant lines using the density separation method. We found that the method using CsCl separation is a useful tool in breeding for pea weevil resistance. We were able to introgress pea weevil resistance from P. fulvum into cultivated field pea through backcrossing to produce several advanced pea weevil resistant lines following this procedure.

TL;DR: A phylogenetic analysis of the genus Pisum (peas), embracing diverse wild and cultivated forms, which evoke problems with species delimitation, was carried out based on a gene coding for histone H1, a protein that has a long and variable functional C-terminal domain.
TL;DR: Based on the segregation of genotypes in the progeny of the test-crosses, it was concluded that if the cytoplasm was inherited from the wild pea VIR320, the Scs1 allele from the cultivated pea was gametophyte lethal and sporophyte recessive lethal.
Abstract: Genetic analysis was performed to finely map and assess the mode of inheritance of two unlinked nuclear genes Scs1 and Scs2 involved in incompatibility of the nuclear genome of the cultivated pea Pisum sativum subsp. sativum with the cytoplasm of the wild pea of the subspecies P. sativum subsp. elatius, accession VIR320. Based on the segregation of genotypes in the progeny of the test-crosses, we concluded that if the cytoplasm was inherited from the wild pea VIR320, the Scs1 allele from the cultivated pea was gametophyte lethal and sporophyte recessive lethal. The Scs2 allele from the cultivated pea reduced male gametophyte viability. In homozygote, Scs2 from cultivated parent brought about nuclear–cytoplasmic conflict manifested as chlorophyll deficiency, reduction of blade organs, and low pollen fertility of about 20%. In heterozygote, Scs1 and Scs2 genes reduced pollen fertility by ca 50 and 30%, respectively. The Scs1 and Scs2 genes involved in nuclear–cytoplasmic incompatibility were genetically mapped. The distance between the markers bordering Scs1 comprised about 2.5 cM on linkage group III. The map distance between the bordering markers in the neighborhood of Scs2 varied substantially from cross to cross in the range of 2.0–15.1 cM on linkage group V.

TL;DR: In this paper, the Schistosoma mansoni miracidia, schisto- somula, cercaria and adult worms were tested in vitro against garlic and onion powder.
Abstract: OBJECTIVE, The schistosomi - cidal properties of garlic ( Allium sativum ) and onion ( Allium cepa ) powder were tested in vitro against Schistosoma mansoni miracidia, schisto - somula, cercaria and adult worms. Results indi - cate their strong biocidal effects against all stages of the parasite and also show scaveng - ing inhibitory effect on 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhy - drazyl (DPPH) and nitric oxide (NO). MATERIALS AND METHODS, In the present work, the in vivo effects of A. sativum and A. cepa on lipid peroxide and some antioxidant en - zymes; thioredoxin reductase (TrxR), sorbitol de - hydrogenase (SDH), superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and glutathione reductase (GR) (as they have a crucial role in host protec - tion against invading parasite) were also studied. RESULTS, The data demonstrate that, there was a significant inhibition in SOD, CAT, GR, TrxR and SDH in infected liver while, significant elevation was detected in lipid peroxide as com - pared to the normal control. The current results clearly revealed that, the used both edible plants enhance the host antioxidant system indicated by lowering in lipid peroxide and stimulation of SOD, CAT, GR, TrxR and SDH enzyme levels. CONCLUSIONS, Enhancement of such en - zymes using A. sativum and A. cepa could in turn render the parasite vulnerable to damage by the host and may play a role in the antischis - tosomal potency of the used food ingredients.

TL;DR: It was found that exposure of 5 min for magnetic field strengths of 60 mT and 180 mT significantly enhanced the germination parameters of the pea and these treatments can be used practically to accelerate the gerulation in garden pea.
Abstract: The seeds of garden pea (Pisum sativum L. cv. climax) were exposed to full-wave rectified sumusoidal non-uniform magnetic fields of strength 60 mT, 120 mT and 180 mT for 5, 10 and 15 min prior to sowing. The magnetically treated seeds were sown according to the protocol of International Seed Testing Association (ISTA). Magnetically treated seed showed significant increase in germination. The emergence index, final emergence index and vigor index increased by 86.43%, 13.21% and 204.60%, respectively. It was found that exposure of 5 min for magnetic field strengths of 60 mT and 180 mT significantly enhanced the germination parameters of the pea and these treatments can be used practically to accelerate the germination in garden pea.
TL;DR: Local forage pea ecotypes, (Pisum sativum sp. arvense L.) have been cultivated by farmers in the Northern part of the Eastern Anatolia region of Turkey for years and there has not been any breeding regarding these materials up to now, so the material shows great variation with respect to morphological and agronomical characters compared to commercial forages cultivars.
Abstract: Local forage pea ecotypes, (Pisum sativum sp. arvense L.) have been cultivated by farmers in the Northern part of the Eastern Anatolia region of Turkey for years and there has not been any breeding regarding these materials up to now. Thus, the material shows great variation with respect to morphological and agronomical characters compared to commercial forage pea cultivars. The objective of this study was to evaluate yield and some traits of promised local pea ecotypes which were selected previous year’s screening study material collected from 61 different locations in the northern part of the Eastern Anatolia in 2007. All seed materials were sown with randomized complete blocks design with three replicates in Ataturk University Faculty of Agriculture Experimental Station in 2009 and 2010. There were considerable variations with respect to investigated characters among the ecotypes and also significant interactions over the years. According to two years results, investigated properties were varied from 83.5 to 126.5 cm for plant height, 102 to 116.5 days for days to harvest, 10.4 to 15.5 for pod number per plant, 3.5 to 5.6 for seed number per pod, 3.0 to 4.4 for lodging score, 67.3 to 227.4 g for 1000 kernel weight, 3.37 to 4.57 t ha -1 for straw yield, 1.50 to 2.21 t ha -1 for seed yield and 27.5 to 35.9 % for harvest index. As a result, Avcilar and Ortakent ecotypes were considered to be tested in location experiment for new variety development because these ecotypes performed more stable results across the years and higher yield performance.
TL;DR: The results of the present study can be used for molecular breeding and improvement of L. sativum for various desired traits through hybridization in future.
TL;DR: The results showed that mixture of pea with barley and oat at the 65:35 seeding ratio was obtained and the highest forage quality parameters were achieved when pea was grown as a monoculture or when at a high proportion in mixture.
Abstract: The aim of the study was to determine the forage yield and quality of pure stands or binary mixtures of pea (Pisum sativum L.) with oat (Avena sativa L.) and barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) mixtures. Two seeding ratios (55:45 and 65:35) were used to investigate forage yield and quality of pea-oat and pea-barley mixtures. Experiment was established in early spring of 2010 and 2011 in a randomized complete block design, with 3 replicates, in Isparta, Turkey. Dry matter (DM) yield, crude protein (CP) content, crude protein yield (CPY), neutral detergent fiber (NDF), acid detergent fiber (ADF), total digestible nutrient (TDN) and relative feed value (RFV) were determined for each monoculture or mixture. The oat and barley grown in monoculture had the highest DM yield (13520 and 12810 kg ha), followed by pea-oat and pea-barley (55:45) seeding ratio, with 11270 and 10540 kg ha. CP content was highest in monoculture pea followed by pea-cereal (65:35). The highest forage quality parameters were achieved when pea was grown as a monoculture or when at a high proportion in mixture. The results showed that mixture of pea with barley and oat at the 65:35 seeding ratio was obtained
TL;DR: The leaves and stems of Coriandrum sativum were extracted and the essential oil composition and immunotoxicity effects were studied, indicating that the major compounds may play an important role in the toxicity of essential oils.
Abstract: The leaves and stems of Coriandrum sativum were extracted and the essential oil composition and immunotoxicity effects were studied. The analyses were conducted by gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy (GC-MS), which revealed the essential oils of C. sativum leaves and stems. Thirty-nine components representing 99.62% of the total oil were identified from the leaves. The major components are cyclododecanol (23.11%), tetradecanal (17.86%), 2-dodecenal (9.93%), 1-decanol (7.24%), 13-tetradecenal (6.85%), 1-dodecanol (6.54%), dodecanal (5.16%), 1-undecanol (2.28%), and decanal (2.33%). Thirty-eight components representing 98.46% of the total oil were identified from the stems of the coriander. The major components are phytol (61.86%), 15-methyltricyclo[6.5.2(13,14),0(7,15)]-pentadeca-1,3,5,7,9,11,13-heptene (7.01%), dodecanal (3.18%), and 1-dodecanol (2.47%). The leaf oil had significant toxic effects against the larvae of Aedes aegypti with an LC₅₀ value of 26.93 ppm and an LC₉₀ value of 37.69 ppm and the stem oil has toxic effects against the larvae of A. aegypti with an LC₅₀ value of 29.39 ppm and an LC₉₀ value of 39.95 ppm. Also, the above data indicate that the major compounds may play an important role in the toxicity of essential oils.
