Effect of supplemental Ca2+on NaCl-stressed castor plants (Ricinus communisL.)Greenhouse experiments were conducted to assess the effects of supplemental Ca2+in salinised soil on germination and plant growth response of castor plant (Ricinus communisL. Var. Avani-31, Euphorbiaceae). NaCl amounting to 390 g was thoroughly mixed with soil of seven lots, of 100 kg each, to give electrical conductivity of 4.1 dS m-1. Further, Ca(NO3)2x 4H20 to the quantity of 97.5, 195, 292.5, 390, 487.5, and 585 g was separately mixed with soil of six lots to give 1:0.25, 1:0.50, 1:0.75, 1:1, 1:1.25, and 1:1.50 Na+/Ca2+ratios, respectively. The soil of the seventh lot contained only NaCl and its Na+/Ca2+ratio was 1:0. Soil without addition of NaCl and Ca (NO3)2x 4H20 served as control, with a 0:0 Na+/Ca2+ratio. Salinity significantly retarded seed germination and plant growth, but the deleterious effects of NaCl on seed germination were ameliorated and plant growth was restored with Ca2+supply at the critical level (1:0.25 Na+/Ca2+ratio) to salinised soil. Supply of Ca2+above the critical level further retarded seed germination and plant growth due to the increased soil salinity. Salt stress reduced N, P, K+and Ca2+content in plant tissues, but these nutrients were restored by addition of Ca2+at the critical level to saline soil. In contrast, Na+content in plant tissues significantly increased in response to salinity, but significantly decreased with increasing Ca2+supply to saline soil. The results are discussed in terms of the beneficial effects of Ca2+supply on the plant growth ofRicinus communisgrown under saline conditions.

Castor Plant

Evidence of castor plant R. communis, L. is recovered from the Early Holocene archaeological site of Kabbashi Haitah in the Central Sudan and dated to c. 7700 - 7200 bp. This evidence represents the earliest botanical evidence recovered –so far- from the Central Sudan and elsewhere in Eastern Tropical Africa and the World. No evidence is found in the material culture remains which might indicate the likelihood of its being imported. Most of the ancient and traditional utilizations of castor plant are strikingly similar despite their being practised at different times in different and far apart regions in the World. This modest contribution stands to show that the wide spread and utilizations of castor plant strongly accentuate its significant and indispensable role since ancient times. It also reflects that inedible plants, as seen in the case of castor plant, were (and still are) not less important than food plant, hence stresses the need for attending to their study in a fashion equal to that of studying foodplants since prehistoric and early historic times.

And Storage

Two new anthocyanins (1, 2) were isolated from the stem bark of the castor plant, Ricinus communis L. by a combination of chromatographic techniques. The structures of the compounds were elucidated, mainly by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and high-resolution electrospray mass spectrometry, to be cyanidin 3- O-β-xylopyranoside-5- O-β-glucopyranoside (1) (21%), and cyanidin 3- O-β-xylopyranoside-5- O-(6′”- O-malonyl-β-glucopyranoside) (2) (79%). In addition, cyanidin 3- O-β-xylopyranoside-5- O-(6′”- O-methylmalonate-β-glucopyranoside) (3), formed by methyl esterification of the malonyl unit of 2 during isolation and storage, was identified.
