Potential Roles of Purslane (Portulaca oleracea L.) as Antimetabolic Syndrome: A Review

Vegetative Reproduction Potential of Common Purslane (Portulaca oleracea)

Portulaca oleracea L.: A Review of Phytochemistry and Pharmacological Effects

Portulaca oleracea L., belonging to the Portulacaceae family, is commonly known as purslane in English and Ma-Chi-Xian in Chinese. It is a warm-climate, herbaceous succulent annual plant with a cosmopolitan distribution. It is eaten extensively as a potherb and added in soups and salads around the Mediterranean and tropical Asian countries and has been used as a folk medicine in many countries....

Evaluation of Antioxidant Properties and Mineral Composition of Purslane (Portulaca oleracea L.) at Different Growth Stages

The main objective of this research was to appraise the changes in mineral content and antioxidant attributes of Portulaca oleracea over different growth stages. The antioxidant activity was measured using 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), ferric-reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) assays. The iodine titration method was used to determine the ascorbic acid content (AAC). DPPH scavenging (IC(5...

Effect of Nitrogen Forms on Growth, Yield and Nitrate Accumulation of Cultivated Purslane (portulaca Oleracea L.)

KAYMAK, H. C., 2013. Effect of nitrogen forms on growth, yield and nitrate accumulation of cultivated purslane (portulaca oleracea l.). Bulg. J. Agric. Sci., 19: 444-449 The present investigation was carried out to determine not only the most appropriate nitrogen form but also the effect of these forms on growth, yield, element content and nitrate accumulation of cultivated purslane (portulaca ...

Screening of Purslane (Portulaca oleracea L.) Accessions for High Salt Tolerance

Purslane (Portulaca oleracea L.) is an herbaceous leafy vegetable crop, comparatively more salt-tolerant than any other vegetables with high antioxidants, minerals, and vitamins. Salt-tolerant crop variety development is of importance due to inadequate cultivable land and escalating salinity together with population pressure. In this view a total of 25 purslane accessions were initially selecte...
