The growth of Luffa aegyptiaca in response to various nitrogen sources and concentrations

Canadian Journal of Botany, 1985
The 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, 1978
AbstractThe 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, 1983
The 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

The ribosome-inactivating, antiproliferative and teratogenic activities and immunoreactivities of a protein from seeds of Luffa aegyptiaca (Cucurbitaceae)

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.
