Amaranth (Amaranthus spp.) is cultivated as an ornamental plant, and also of recent years as an edible non-cereal seed. Many interspecies hybrids have high tolerance to salinity and the capacity to absorb heavy metals.

Other phenanthrenoids reported possessing phytotoxicity are erianthridin and gymnopusin, which were isolated from extract of the orchid Maxillaria densa using phytotoxicity with amaranth Amaranthus hypochondriacus) to guide fractionation. But they both exhibited moderate cytotoxicity to some mammalian cells tested, which precludes their use as bioherbicides [507].

Plant materials Amaranth(Amaranthus hypochon-driacus/ and wheatsTriticum aestlvum were both grown in the field. The leaves were collected from both plants at IBieir 5-leafiamaranth or 3-6 leaf(wheats age and used for the isolation of their rubisco. 

Grain amaranth (Amaranthus hypochondriacus and A. caudatus) The starch of grain amaranths has extremely small granules and has a high water absorption capacity. As such, the starch can be used in the food industry, in making high quality plastics, in cosmetics and in other industries. Natural dye can also be extracted for colouring.

Merolectins are simple proteins unable to agglutinate cells, which contain only one centre binding sugars and no catalytic centre. Merolectin is, for example, the protein of amaranth Amaranthus caudatus, Amaranthaceae), which binds polysaccharide chitin.

The herbicidal activity and corp selectivity of IG-21 (code number for development HWS) were further examined at 1,200-50 g ai/ha. IG-21 was tested for postemergence activity against a range of plant species including purslane (Portulaca oleracea), slender amaranth (Amaranthus ascendens), goosefoot (Chenopodium album), spiny amaranth Amaranthus spinosus), sugarbeet Beta vulgaris), maize Zea mays) and rice Oryza sativa). Results are shown in Table 2.50.
