The plants of mung bean (Vigna radiata L.Wilczek) were raised from the seeds soaked in water (control), IAA or 4-C-IAA (10 -6 , 10 -8 or 10 -10 M) for 8 or 12 h. The plants were allowed to grow in a net house and were sampled at 30 and 45 days after sowing (DAS). Both IAA and 4-Cl-IAA significantly affected the growth (length, fresh and dry mass of roots and shoots), the number of nodules, their fresh and dry mass and the activity of nitrogenase. However, the contents of nitrogen and carbohydrate exhibited a decrease in response to both the auxins. 4-Cl-IAA, at a concentration of 10 -8 M, generated the best response. Moreover, 4-Cl-IAA at other two concentrations (10 -6 and 10 -10 M) was much more active than any of the IAA concentration used.

Nitrosochlorination of methyl oleate yielded methyl 9(10)-chloro-lO(9)-nitrosooctadecanoate, methyl 9(lO)-chloro-10(9)-oximinooctadecanoate and an abnormal product 9(lO)-chloro-10(9)-nitriminooctadecanoate. A similar reaction with lO-undecenoate yielded a dimer of methyl 10-chloro-ll-nitrosoundecanoate, methyl 10chloro-ll-oximinoundecanoate and methyl lO-chloro-ll-nitriminoundecanoate. On the other hand, methyl trans-2-docosenoate reacted reluctantly up to 10%, yielding methyl 2-oximino-3chlorodocosanoate. All these products have been characterized with the help of compositional and spectral data.
C-18 fatty acid-coated silver nanoparticles are synthesized using a facile and worthwhile chemical method. The structural, morphological, and optical characteristics were broadly studied, endorsing the synthesis of modified nanoparticles. Analyses...
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
