xanthium italicum/potassium

Germination of nondormant but impotent small cocklebur seeds (Xanthium pennsylvanicum Wallr.) was promoted profoundly with thiourea or benzyladenine, and slightly with gibberellic acid. Gibberellic acid was ineffective in causing the germination of dormant cocklebur seeds, although thiourea and

A case of severe hypokalemia in pregnancy is presented. Chayote, a subtropical vegetable with potent diuretic action, is implicated, as the potassium level returned to normal, without recurrence of hypokalemia, once the ingestion was stopped.

Dormant seeds of cocklebur (Xanthium pennsylvanicum Wallr.) were characterized by the lack of ability to form chlorophyll. Such an inability of cotyledons of the dormant seeds was improved by the application of various factors and reagents which were capable of breaking the dormancy and of

Unique cocklebur-shaped colloidal dispersions were prepared using a combination of a nanoextruder applied to the aqueous solution containing methyl methacrylate (MMA) and n-butyl acrylate (n-BA) with azo-bis-isobutyronitrile (AIBN) or potassium persulfate (KPS) initiators and stabilized by a mixture

Floristic composition, community structure and soil moisture and nutrient contents in abandoned fields of different ages were analyzed to clarify the regenerative aspects of succession as a tool for vegetation restoration. The results indicated that secondary succession in this region can be

Recent recommendations for US food assistance programs are intended to ensure foods provided through these programs help households consume a varied, healthful diet. From a policy viewpoint, it is important to examine the impact of economic incentives to purchase healthy foods across subpopulations,
