As a trace metal, arsenic is found in apple seed.
Ricin is a biological toxin that is cytotoxic. It is a protein found in the seeds of the castor oil plant and acts by inhibiting protein synthesis in cells, leading to cell death.
Yes. Arsenic. It's the toxin once found in rat poison, insecticide, and chemical weapons.
This vary from apple to apple, and also very much between the type of apple. Most apples have between 8-12 seeds, but some have less, others have many many more. The amount of seeds may vary with the condition of the tree, and the growth year also. If it is a particularily bad year, then there might be more seeds and fewer apples. In a good year, the apples will be bigger and have fewer seeds.
We are using the seeds of aristolochia elegans to treat malaria in a dose of 4 seeds twice a day for 3 days. I have since read that there is a toxin, aristolochic acid in the plant but non of the references I have googled say whether that toxin is in the seeds and, if so, what is considered the lowest toxic dose. I would appreciated anyone's experience or references to help me answer this question. Thanking you.
If botulinum refers to the Protein Botulinum toxin, its a compound. Its formula is =C6760H10447N1743O2010S32
Not all seeds are poisonous. Those that are can be poisonous usually contain some form of toxin that makes you sick. Some seeds shouldn't be eaten if they are physically dangerous (sharp or sticky and may catch in the throat).
An acetylandromedol is a specific grayanotoxin, a toxin found in plants such as rhododendrons.
It is a biomicrobial toxin.
The roots of sunflowers excrete toxin (not harmful to humans and pets) that prevents seeds from sprouting and seedlings from growing. The toxin is biodegradable but in the growing season it just might affect another sunflower shoot when planted too close together.
The leaves, stems, and seeds are allelopathic, which means that they will release some toxin or toxins (not harmful to humans and pets in small doses) that prevent or slow the growth of other plants in the effected area. Sunflowers excrete a toxin that prevents seeds from sprouting and seedlings from growing. The toxin is biodegradable it takes about 3 months for the toxin to completely dissipate. This being said however as long as the sunflowers are not right next your other garden plants they will most likely be fine.
No, it is not a toxin.
