The complete chloroplast genome sequence of the Citrullus colocynthis L. (Cucurbitaceae)

Cucurbitacins from the Leaves of Citrullus colocynthis (L.) Schrad.

Two new tetracyclic cucurbitane-type triterpene glycosides were isolated from an ethyl acetate extract of Citrullus colocynthis leaves together with four known cucurbitacins. Their structures were established on the basis of their spectroscopic data (mainly NMR and mass spectrometry). Evaluation of the in vitro cytotoxic activity of the isolated compounds against two human colon cancer cell lin...

Shallow Whole Genome Sequencing for the Assembly of Complete Chloroplast Genome Sequence of Arachis hypogaea L.

Phytochemical Investigation and Anti-Diarrheal Activity of Hydroalcoholic Extract of Fruits of Citrullus colocynthis (L.) Schrad. (Cucurbitaceae)

Background: Cucurbitaceae family is one of the best genetically assorted accumulations of restorative plants in the plant kingdom. Previous studies have suggested that Citrullus colocynthis (L.) Schrad. plant parts (root, stem, leaf, fruits, and seeds) have been utilized in the traditional system of medicine. Pharmacological activities reported for this plant include antioxidant activity, antim...

The glycosidal content of the different organs of Citrullus colocynthis.

A qualitative and qwantitative study of the glycosidnl content of the different organs and parts of Citrullus colocynthis SCHRAD. were undertaken. Qualitative study revealed the presence af a-elateri~r 2-D-glucopyranoside and its aglycone in all organs; cucurbitacin B, I , and'L (both free and glycosidal forms) in stents, leaves, and fruits. A suggested procedure for the estimation of a-elateri...

The Complete Chloroplast Genome Sequence of Date Palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.)

BACKGROUND Date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.), a member of Arecaceae family, is one of the three major economically important woody palms--the two other palms being oil palm and coconut tree--and its fruit is a staple food among Middle East and North African nations, as well as many other tropical and subtropical regions. Here we report a complete sequence of the data palm chloroplast (cp) geno...
