The twisted disease is one of the essential diseases in shallots caused by Fusarium spp. This study aimed to study pathogenicity and identify Fusarium species isolated from shallot plants with twisted symptoms in Nganjuk and Bantul areas. The Fusarium isolates were identified and then tested for pathogenicity levels and the effect of the hormones GA3 and IAA on shallot symptoms. Molecular identification using NF2 and NF4 successfully identified one isolate of Fusarium oxysporum, three isolates of F. acutatum, and three isolates of F. solani. Each of these species produces different symptoms. Pathogenicity test showed that all isolates had disease incidence reaching 100%, except isolates of F. solani1 causing wilt and F. solani3 causing twisted have the lower disease incidence were 77.8% and 77.7%, respectively. The investigation caused twisted shallot related to different symptoms was tested using the Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) method. The result indicates that all isolates did not find IAA hormone. In contrast, the hormone GA3 was found in F. solani2 and F. solani3 isolates, caused bulb rot and twisted disease, respectively. Detection of IAA, GA3, and other hormones in shallot plants showed different symptoms should be studied further.

AbstractWe present a densitometric quantification method for triclosan in toothpaste, separated by high-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC) and using a 48-bit flatbed scanner as the detection system. The sample was band-wise applied to HPTLC plates (10 × 20 cm), with fluorescent dye, Merck, Germany (1.05554). The plates were developed in a vertical developing chamber with 20 min of chamber saturation over 70 mm, using n-heptane–methyl tert-butyl ether–acetic acid (92:8:0.1, V/V) as solvent. The RF value of triclosan is hRF = 22.4, and quantification is based on direct measurements using an inexpensive 48-bit flatbed scanner for color measurements (in red, green, and blue) after plate staining with 2,6-dichloroquinone-4-chloroimide (Gibbs' reagent). Evaluation of the red channel makes the measurements of triclosan very specific. For linearization, an extended Kubelka–Munk expression was used for data transformation. The range of linearity covers more than two orders of magnitude and is between 91 and 1000 ng. The separation method is inexpensive, fast and reliable.

Abstract Three confirmatory tests have been devised to identify aflatoxin B±. Portions of the isolated toxin are treated with formic acid-thionyl chloride, acetic acid-thionyl chloride, and trifluoroacetic acid, respectively, and aliquots of the three fluorescent reaction products are spotted on thin-layer chromatography plates. Standards treated with each of the three reagents, plus an untreated standard, are spotted on the same plate, and after development the spots are compared under ultraviolet light.

A pot experiment was conducted in the rabi (post rainy) seasons of 2001 and 2002 to study the genotypic differences in grain growth rate and endogenous hormonal content in the developing grains of hexaploid and tetraploid wheat. The endogenous hormonal contents of grains in both the ploidy levels had changed in sequence. At 5 days after anthesis (DAA), gibberellic acid (GA3); at 15 DAA (rapid growth phase), indole-acetic acid (IAA); at 25 DAA (dough stage), abscisic acid (ABA) were maximum. At 35 DAA, all the endogenous hormonal level decreased and among the hormones, ABA was highest followed by IAA and GA3. Hexaploids recorded higher concentrations of endogenous hormones (13.38% IAA, 17.89% GA3, and 14.7% ABA) on fresh weight basis and resulted in higher seed weight (56.99 mg/grain) and grain growth rate (0.009 g/g/day) compared to tetraploids (49.08 mg/grain; 0.008 g/g/day) on dry weight basis by better mobilization of photosynthates during grain filling. Key Words: Grain growth rate, hormones, indole-acetic acid, gibberellic acid, abscisic acid. doi:10.3329/bjar.v33i3.1608 Bangladesh J. Agril. Res. 33(3) : 493-502, September 2008

The re-emergence of the Fusarium wilt caused by Fusarium odoratissimum (F. odoratissimum) causes global banana production loss. Thirty-eight isolates of Fusarium species (Fusarium spp.) were examined for morphological characteristics on different media, showing the typical Fusarium spp. The phylogenetic trees of Fusarium isolates were generated using the sequences of histone gene (H3) and translation elongation factor gene (TEF-1α). Specific primers were used to confirm the presence of F. odoratissimum. The phylogenetic trees showed the rich diversity of the genus Fusarium related to Fusarium wilt, which consists of F. odoratissimum, Fusarium grosmichelii, Fusarium sacchari, and an unknown species of the Fusarium oxysporum species complex. By using Foc-TR4 specific primers, 27 isolates were confirmed as F. odoratissimum. A pathogenicity test was conducted for 30 days on five different local cultivars including, Musa acuminata (AAA, AA) and Musa paradisiaca (AAB, ABB). Although foliar symptoms showed different severity of those disease progression, vascular symptoms of the inoculated plantlet showed that infection was uniformly severe. Therefore, it can be concluded that the Fusarium oxysporum species complex related to Fusarium wilt of banana in Malaysia is rich in diversity, and F. odoratissimum has pathogenicity to local banana cultivars in Malaysia regardless of the genotype of the banana plants.

Microamounts of vitamin C could be readily determined in 20 μl-samples using the 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine method together with separation by thin layer chromato­graphy. The condensation reaction was carried out for 5 min at 100 °C on a glass fibre disc. Purification of vitamin C hydrazones was accomplished by repeated separation on TLC plates. An aqueous solution of 65% acetic acid was em­ployed to dissolve the vitamin C hydrazones, providing maxi­mal absorbance at 500 nm. The minimum amount detectable by this method is 0.4 μg of dehydroascorbic acid. The macrodetermination of vitamin C was improved by simpli­fying a previous method and employing 65% aqueous acetic acid as a solvent for the hydrazones.

The uptake of 14C-labeled butoxyethanol ester of (2,4-dichlorophenoxy)acetic acid (BEE of 2,4-D) from water by three species of fed and fasted fish was studied. Fish were exposed to either 0.3 or 1.0 mg/L of herbicide for up to 168 hr. Combined residues of the 2,4-D ester and its metabolic products were determined radiometrically in eight tissues and organs. Extracts of these organs were examined by thin layer chromatography and autoradiography. Maximum residue concentrations were observed in most organs of fed fish within 1 to 2 hr of exposure, and within 1 to 8 hr of exposure for fasted fish. After maximum residue concentrations were reached, the herbicide and/or its metabolites were eliminated rapidly.

Abstract Thin layer chromatography has been investigated for the identification of cashew nut shell, one of the common adulterants in ground coffee, tea, and chicory. The ether extract of the sample is applied to silica gel C plates and developed with benzene-dioxane-acetic acid (90+25+4) . Cashew nut shell shows 3 distinctive spots (Rf 0.7, 0.54, and 0.34) with diazotized benzidine which are totally absent in tea, coffee, and chicory. The spots have been identified as anacardic acid, cardol, and anacardol, respectively.

5'-O-Dimethoxytrityl-(N-acyl)-2'-deoxyribonucleosides afford 3'-O-formyl-(N-acyl)-2'-deoxyribonucleosides Ia-Id by the action of formic acetic anhydride followed by the action of 80% aqueous acetic acid. The formyl group is removed from Ia-Id by treatment with 1 mol l-1 triethylamine 3'-O-Formyl-2'-deoxythymidine (Ia) gives 3'-O-dimethoxytrityl-2'-deoxythymidine (V) by subsequent treatment with acetic anhydride, triethylamine, dimethoxytrityl chloride and methanolic ammonia. The use of compounds I for the synthesis of d-GGAGG (XIX) and d-T16 (XXXII) is described. Systems for thin-layer chromatography of 5'-O-dimethyltrityl-oligodeoxyribonucleotides on silica gel are described.
