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].

They grow luxuriantly on poor soils which are unsuitable for crop plants. We have found Amaranthus hypochondriacus to be a good material for the study of fubisco ln C-4 plants. The following is a description of our preliminary work on the Isolation and characterization of rubisco from this plant, the separation of the large and small subunits of amaranth rubisco and their recombination, wheat rubisco was also isolated and in some Instances used for comparison.

The present study examines and compares the effects of NaCl in the growth medium and reaction mixture on the ATPase activity in chloroplast (CFl) and mitochondria (FI) and the electron transport in photosystems (PSI,PSII) and respiratory chain from two species with different salt tolerance, Amaranthus hypochondriacus and Medicago sativa.

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.
