Rhizoremediation of hydrocarbon contaminated soil using Luffa aegyptiaca (Mill) and associated fungi
International Journal of Phytoremediation, 2021The potentials of Luffa aegyptiaca and its rhizospheric, non-mycorrhizal fungi in biodegrading and bio-remediating hydrocarbon contaminated soil were investigated in-vitro and in-situ. Biodegradation study was done in two stages: preliminary study using hydrocarbon treated filter paper and in-vitro with Mineral Salt Media (MSM) read on ...

Eco-Composites of Polyurethane and Luffa Aegyptiaca Modified by Mercerisation and Benzylation
Polymers and Polymer Composites, 2008New eco-composites were prepared from castor oil polyurethane reinforced with Luffa cylindrica fibres. These fibres were used without treatment as well as after mercerisation and mercerisation/benzylation surface treatments. TG curves of mercerised Luffa showed a small increase in thermal stability, associated with the removal of ...

The mineral nutrition of Luffa aegyptiaca
Canadian Journal of Botany, 1983Five greenhouse experiments and a field experiment were carried out to determine the nutrient requirements of Luffa aegyptiaca L. by quantitatively determining the effects of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and calcium on its growth in sand culture and in poor lateritic soil. The effects of three pH regimes were also investigated.

The growth of Luffa aegyptiaca in response to various nitrogen sources and concentrations
Canadian Journal of Botany, 1985The growth responses of Luffa aegyptiaca to various nitrogen sources and concentrations were investigated. In sand culture at high concentrations of nitrogen, the species showed equally favourable responses to nitrate nitrogen (KNO3 or Ca(NO3)2), ammonium nitrogen ((NH4)2SO4), and the combination of nitrate and ammonium nitrogen (NH4NO3).

The Effects of Light and Temperature on Germination and Growth of Luffa aegyptiaca
Physiologia Plantarum, 1978AbstractThe effects of light and temperature on the germination and growth of Luffa aegyptiaca were investigated both in the laboratory and in the field. The seeds germinated in both darkness and light but germination was better in the light.At constant temperatures germination was best at 21°C, while alternating temperatures of 21 and 31°C and 15 and ...

Experimental studies on some observed variations in Luffa aegyptiaca
Canadian Journal of Botany, 1983The causes of some observed variations in plant size and leaf morphology of populations of Luffa aegyptiaca were investigated experimentally. The effects of soil type, soil salinity, soil moisture content, and mineral nutrients on the germination and growth of this species were examined. The results indicate that variations in size and leaf morphology

General Pharmacology: The Vascular System, 1993
1. The protein isolated from Luffa aegyptiaca seeds was capable of inhibiting protein synthesis in a rabbit reticulocyte lysate system and [3H]thymidine uptake by mouse melanoma (B16) cells. 2. It also adversely affected the development of mouse embryos in culture. 3.
