Somatic embryogenesis of the heavy metal accumulator Prosopis laevigata
Plant Cell, Tissue and Organ Culture, 2011Somatic embryogenesis and whole plant regeneration was achieved in callus cultures derived from immature zygotic embryos of Prosopis laevigata (Humb. & Bonpl. ex Willd.) M.C. Johnst., recently identified as chromium (Cr), cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb) and nickel (Ni) accumulator.

Prosopis laevigata a potential chromium (VI) and cadmium (II) hyperaccumulator desert plant
Bioresource Technology, 2010The bioaccumulation of Cr(VI) and Cd(II) in Prosopis laevigata and the effect of these heavy metals on plant growth were assessed. P. laevigata seeds were cultured during 50 days on modified Murashige-Skoog medium supplemented with four different concentrations of Cr(VI) (0-3.4mM) and Cd(II) (0-2.2mM), respectively.

Drying technology of mesquite pods (Prosopis laevigata) and microstructural insights
British Food Journal, 2020PurposeMesquite pods offer a high nutritional content; A flour can be produced from them; nevertheless, the moisture content makes the milling process difficult. Then, before the milling operation a drying process must be implemented, but drying technology must be studied in order to characterise the process and identify the effect of drying ...

Abstract The antioxidant activity of acetone extracts and purified fractions from Prosopis laevigata leaves were evaluated as well its cardioprotection potential in vitro. Mezquite leaves were dewaxed with petroleum ether and extracted with aqueous acetone (70%); the polar extract was purified in Sep-Pak® Cartridges and their fractions evaluated ...

Mining industry generates large volumes of waste known as mine tailings, which contain heavy metals (HMs) that generate a risk to environmental health. Thus, remediation of HM pollution requires attention. In this study, HM bioaccumulation, genotoxic damage, and morphological and physiological changes in the tree species Prosopis laevigata were ...

The epiphyte Tillandsia recurvata modifies the anatomy of the xylem, phloem and periderm of its host Prosopis laevigata, these modifications affect water flux and photosynthetic activity in this host. The relationships between epiphytes and host plants are commensal interactions, where epiphytes obtain support to growth without damaging their hosts ...

Journal of Arid Environments, 2008
Abstract The abundance of microorganisms in desert soil environments is closely related to the accumulation of resources around individual plants, called “islands of fertility”. This research was undertaken (1) to study the formation of islands of fertility in soils under Prosopis laevigata and Pachycereus hollianus in a preserved terrace and a ...

Processing, Nutritional Evaluation, and Utilization of Whole Mesquite Flour ( Prosopis laevigata )
Journal of Food Science, 2006ABSTRACT: Basic crops such as wheat and maize are not cultivated easily in the central highlands of Mexico, but pods of mesquite ( Prosopis laevigata ), a N 2 −fixing plant that dominates the vegetation, could be used as an ...
