Rubus fruticosus L.: constituents, biological activities and health related uses.
Rubus fruticosus L. is a shrub famous for its fruit called blackberry fruit or more commonly blackberry. The fruit has medicinal, cosmetic and nutritive value. It is a concentrated source of valuable nutrients, as well as bioactive constituents of therapeutic interest highlighting its importance as a functional food. Besides use as a fresh fruit, it is also used as ingredient in cooked dishes, ...
متن کاملAcute toxicity, brine shrimp cytotoxicity, anthelmintic and relaxant potentials of fruits of Rubus fruticosus Agg
BACKGROUND Rubus fruticosus is used in tribal medicine as anthelmintic and an antispasmodic. In the current work, we investigated the anthelmintic and antispasmodic activities of crude methanol extract of fruits of R. fruticosus on scientific grounds. Acute toxicity and brine shrimp cytotoxicity activity of the extract were also performed. METHODS Acute toxicity study of crude methanol extrac...
متن کاملChanges in wall-bound polysaccharidase activities during the culture cycle of a Rubus fruticosus cell suspension.
Several hydrolytic enzyme activities were detected in the wall of developing cells of Rubus fruticosus in suspension culture. The corresponding substrates of the enzymes are mostly polysaccharide wall constituents, except for chitinase activity. The activities measured when the enzymes were in the free state or wall-bound showed the positive influence of the cell wall micro-environment. Changes...
متن کاملA glimpse of the endophytic bacterial diversity in roots of blackberry plants (Rubus fruticosus).
The aim of this study was to explore the diversity of culturable bacterial communities residing in blackberry plants (Rubus fruticosus). Bacterial endophytes were isolated from plant roots, and their 16S rDNA sequences were amplified and sequenced. Our results show that the roots of R. fruticosus exhibit low colony forming units of bacterial endophytes per gram of fresh tissue (6 x 102 ± 0.5 x ...
متن کاملTemporal dynamics and foraging behaviour in honeybees
Learning at the feeding site initiates various forms of memory which differ with respect to their temporal dynamics, contents and stability when exposed to successive experiences. Neurobiological analyses indicate that these different forms of memory reside in different parts of the brain: the non-associative memory in the antennal lobes, the associative memory in the mushroom bodies. Single-ce...
