“…Red pepper fruits and moringa leaves had the highest contents of total carotenoids (138.88 and 102.20 mg/100g, respectively) followed by fig leaves which were 78.83 mg/100g. These results are in agreement with those reported by Campos et al (2013), Younis et al (2013) and Abdalla (2015). Total anthocyanin in red pepper fruits was 25.43 mg/100g, whereas, noticeable amount was found in red pepper seeds.…”

Nowadays, plants and natural products have a great probable interest due to their pharmaceutical, cosmetic and nutritional applications. So, the biologically active compounds of moringa and fig leaves as well as red pepper fruits and seeds were assessed as antioxidants agents as well as their antioxidant activities were evaluated using different assays and the obtained results revealed that, moringa and fig leaves had the highest content of chlorophylls A and B, but their contents in moringa leaves (625.37 and 229.94 mg/100g, respectively) were more than four folds greater than fig leaves (142.14 and 83.57 mg/100g, respectively). Red pepper fruits and moringa leaves had the highest contents of total carotenoids. The ABTS and DPPH procedures gave the highest antioxidant capacity values of all selected raw materials. Furthermore, moringa and fig leaves recorded the highest contents of antioxidant activity comparing with red pepper fruits and seeds correlated with the highly contents of total phenols and flavonoids. Moringa leaves had higher contents of phenolic acids (309.4mg/100g) than other selected plants and E-vanillic and pyrogallol were the most common phenolic compounds found in moringa leaves. On the other hand, there are little differences between fig leaves and red pepper fruits but, the lowest phenolic acids content (136.58 mg/100g) was detected in red pepper seeds. There was variation in flavonoids individuals between all selected raw materials. Moringa and fig leaves had approximately the same highest contents of flavonoids (283.71 and 266.73 mg/100g, respectively) than red pepper fruits and seeds which recorded lowest ones (112.84 mg/100g). Cobalamin (B 12) was the major B complex vitamins found in fig leaves, red pepper fruits, moringa leaves and red pepper seeds which recorded 994.01, 217.46, 164.81 and 125.5 mg/100g, respectively. Moringa leaves and red pepper fruits are considered as excellent sources for vitamins C and K that play an important roles as antioxidant agents to protect biological systems via inhibition or prevention of oxidation stress induced by reactive oxygen substances generated from normal metabolic activity or environmental factors followed by red pepper seeds and fig leaves.

“…Increasing the stomatal density and reducing the size of the stomach can control and reduce gas exchanges and the entry of pollutants through the stomata (Wuytack et al, 2010;Alves et al, 2008). The entry of pollutants into plants through stomata has an inhibitory effect on plant physiological activities, such as photosynthesis (Younis et al, 2013). Therefore, plants reduce the size of stomata to minimize the entry of pollutants (Verma and Singh, 2006).…”

“…However, the deviation increased as target rate increased. Dust accumulation on leaf surfaces were found to be influenced by leaf size and shape, surface texture, level of pubescence, leaf orientation, and petiole length (Younis et al, 2013). Large deviations from target rate of application among treatments could be from leaf surface orientation along with petiole length.…”

Road dust is a common by-product of transportation and it is important to understand its impact on crop production. The objective of this study was to determine if dust applied to the foliage of soybean plants [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] impact its physiological characteristics (i.e., chlorophyll content and leaf temperature), yield, and seed quality (i.e., seed protein, oil composition, and amino acids). In 2015 and 2016 soybeans were planted using a randomized block design with eight replicates. Dust was applied weekly to soybean treatment areas at designated rates of 0,
