Nutritive characterization of purslane accessions as influenced by planting date

The uniqueness of purslane (Portulaca spp.) asthe richest vegetable source of omega-3 (-3)fatty acids is well documented. However, purslane hasnot been domesticated or fully evaluated for itsnutritive value. The objective of this study was todetermine the influence of planting date on chemicalcomposition of purslane accessions. Eight accessionsfrom different geographical locations were planted 12days apart, and whole plants harvested at full bloom. Chemical analysis (DM basis) of leaves showedsignificant differences among varieties for all thecharacteristics measured. Accession by planting dateinteraction influenced (p < 0.05) levels of crudeprotein, total lipids, and carbohydrate contents. Wild Greek accession had the highest, while aBeltsville (Maryland) wild type had the lowest crudeprotein content (27.1 vs 20.5%) at the secondplanting date. Crude protein, lipid and ash levelswere most influenced (p < 0.05) by planting date. Total lipids varied from 4.0–5.8% and 3.7–5.1% forthe first and second planting dates, respectively. Selected fatty acid content indicated significantly(p < 0.05) higher levels of 18: 26, and18: 33 in the Dutch Garden accession comparedwith other varieties. The Egyptian wild accession hadthe lowest level of 18: 33. The ratio of 3 to 6 acids, which ranged from 5.5 to22.3 indicated a highnutritive value of purslane compared to other oilcrops such as soybeans and perrilla. The high levelsof protein in purslane compete with those of othercommercially important vegetable crops. The studyshows that, in spite of its genetic diversity, purslaneremains one of the most abundant terrestrial vegetablesources of Omega-3 fatty acids and other essentialnutrients potentially beneficial for humans as well asanimals.     

鬼针草与含羞草化感作用及其入侵性的研究

采用培养皿滤纸法研究入侵植物鬼针草与含羞草根、茎、叶浸提液对种子萌发和幼苗生长的影响,从化感角度揭示外来植物的入侵机制。结果表明:1)鬼针草根、茎、叶浸提液随浓度升高显著抑制鬼针草和含羞草种子萌发,高浓度(0.04 g·mL^-1)的叶浸提液使萌发率降低了67%~87%;高浓度(0.04 g·mL^-1)的含羞草叶浸提液使其种子萌发率降低了21.7%,但对鬼针草种子萌发影响较小。2)鬼针草和含羞草根长随2种植物根、茎、叶浸提液浓度的升高而降低,尤其是高浓度的叶浸提液有较强抑制效应。3)各浓度的鬼针草根、茎、叶浸提液均能降低含羞草茎长,高浓度的叶浸提液抑制效应最强;高浓度(0.04 g·mL^-1)的含羞草茎和叶浸提液抑制鬼针草茎长,中等浓度(0.02~0.03 g·mL^-1)的根和叶浸提液促进鬼针草茎长;含羞草各器官浸提液对其茎长的抑制作用随浓度增大略有增强。4)鬼针草各器官浸提液(尤其叶浸提液)抑制自身根冠比,促进含羞草根冠比;含羞草各器官浸提液轻微降低自身根冠比,显著降低鬼针草根冠比。5)鬼针草对自身种子萌发率、根长及根冠比的化感强度大于鬼针草他感强度;鬼针草对含羞草茎长的化感强度大于其自感强度,也大于含羞草他感强度;含羞草对鬼针草根长及根冠比的化感强度大于其自感强度,也大于鬼针草他感强度。鬼针草主要通过抑制含羞草茎长,增强入侵性,而含羞草主要通过抑制鬼针草根的生长,增大竞争力。

Chemical composition of purslane (Portulaca oleracea)

Purslane (Portulaca oleracea), grown under greenhouse conditions, was harvested at three growth stages and analyzed for total solids, total protein, ash, soluble carbohydrate, and fructose/fructane in whole plants, leaves, stems, and roots. Significant increases were observed in total solids and protein during plant maturation. Leaves had the highest amount of protein in the third growth stage (44.25g/100g dry matter). Roots showed a decline in protein level as the plant aged. Soluble carbohydrate was significantly higher in growth states 1 and 3. Significant variation among growth stages was found with regard to total phosphorous, calcium, potassium, iron, managanese, and copper. Total phosphorus (P) content in leaves was significantly higher than P found in stems and roots. Iron (Fe) content varied significantly among growth stages, and roots and leaves had the highest Fe content (121.47 and 33.21 mg, respectively). Significant accumulation of managanese (Mn) was found in different growth stages. Leaves and roots had significantly higher Mn content than stems.

Assessment of the differential response of weeds to soil solarization by two methods

The efficacy of solarization in weed control under field conditions of the United Arab Emirates was evaluated by two methods: on-farm weed assessment and a seed germination test. In the on-farm weed assessment method, the weed frequency, density, and dry weight were compared in the solarized and non-solarized plots that were cultivated with cabbage. Prior to solarization, the soil was artificially infested with the seeds of 10 weeds. Generally, the densities of seven species and dry weights of five species were significantly lower in the solarized plots as compared to the control. Launea mucronata , Capsella bursa-pastoris , and Echinochloa colona were very sensitive to solarization, as they did not appear in the solarized plots. However, Portulaca oleracea and Melilotus indica were not significantly affected by soil solarization. In the second method, the germination was assessed for the seeds of four weedy species buried at three depths for different durations of solarization. The results confirmed the great sensitivity of L. mucronata and C. bursa-pastoris seeds to solarization, as all had not germinated after 15 days of solarization, even at the 15 cm depth. The seeds of E. colona , however, were less sensitive after 15 days of solarization, especially at 7.5 cm and 15 cm, respectively. The seed germination method confirmed the resistance of the P. oleracea seeds to solarization. The results emphasized the importance of the germination test to provide accurate predictions about the spatial and temporal changes of the soil seed bank in solarized farms. This would help to determine the optimal duration of solarization in each farm, depending on the kind of weeds infesting the farm.
