متن کاملAllelopathic effect of different concentration of water extract of Argemone mexicana L. on seed germination and seedling growth of Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench
Laboratory experiments were conducted to evaluate the allelopathic effects of the water extract of Argemone mexicana L. on the seed germination, plumule length, radicle length, fresh and dry weight in Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor Moench). The allelopathic potentialities of leaf extracts of A.mexicana decreased the seed germination of Sorghum bicolor with raise of extracts concentration. The extract...
متن کاملNeuropharmacological study of Argemone mexicana Linn
In the present study methanolic and ethyl acetate extracts of Argemone mexicana whole plant (Papaveraceae) were tested orally in swiss albino mice at doses of 100 mg/kg, 200 mg/kg and 400 mg/kg b.w. for CNS related activities. Papaveraceae family is known to have CNS depressant activity, so A. mexicana was evaluated for CNS activities. Significant central and peripheral nociceptive activity was...
متن کاملn-alkane profile of Argemone mexicana leaves.
An n-hexane extract of fresh, mature leaves of Argemone mexicana (Papaveraceae), containing thin-layer epicuticular waxes, has been analysed for the first time by TLC, IR and GLC using standard hydrocarbons. Seventeen long-chain alkanes (n-C18 to n-C34) were identified and quantified. Nonacosane (n-C29) was established as the n-alkane with the highest amount, whilst octadecane (n-C19) was the l...
