Anguina

A. agrostis (funesta) (a tylenchid) is unable to use C. toxicus as a food source, but this same bacterium has the capacity to adhere to the surface of the Anguina cuticle (Fig. 8.5) and, as mentioned above, be carried by the nematode into the plant, where it can continue its development at...

We have used silica gel TLC to separate conjugated triglycerides and methyl esters from the non-conjugated species in the seeds of Momordica charantia and Trichosanthus anguina (unpublished results). These seeds contain between 50%-60% of their total fatty acids as a-eleostearic and punicic...
