Cyclophosphamide is one of the chemotherapeutics for cancer, however this drug has severe side effects in multiple organs and a well-known mutagenic agent. In work protective activity antioxidant-rich Carob (Ceratonia siliqua L.) pods leaves extracts against cyclophosphamide induced genotoxicity was studied. Safety these evaluated acute subacute toxicity tests at dose 1500 mg/kg/day albino rats...

a study on larval parasitoids of carob moth, ectomyelois ceratoniae zeller, in pomegranate orchards in ghale-cham, qom province and tarom-e-sofla, zanjan province was carried out in 2006-2007. two species of fly parasitoids belonging to the family tachinidae were collected and identified as fischeria bicolor robineau-desvoidy and clausicella suturata rondani. the latter species is newly recorde...

The nutritive value of Ceratonia siliqua and Gleditsia triacanthos pods was determined on the basis of their chemical composition, in vitro gas production and rumen fermentation end-products. Medicago sativa was used as a reference feed material. The studied samples showed differences in chemical composition and phenolic compounds. Crude protein (CP) content was particulary low (80 g/kg DM) in ...

the carob moth is one of the most devastating pests of pomegranate and some other products. various pest control measures have been undertaken in order to control this pest but none of them has been successful so far. in the current study the effects of cereal seed proteinaceous extracts including triticale and three wheat cultivars (mv17, aflak, and zare) have been studied on α-amylase and pro...

the carob moth, ectomyelois ceratoniae (zeller), belongs to the family pyralidae and the subfamily phycitinae. in spite of some features of sexual dimorphism in size and shape in the order lepidoptera and the mentioned family, it has not been recorded in this species. in the current study, sexual dimorphism in the wing shape and size of carob moth on four hosts (pomegranate, fig, pistachio and ...

The carob tree (Ceratonia siliqua L.), an ecological, cultural and industrial component of the Mediterranean basin, has been experiencing a decline its abundance in recent decades. Three contributing factors have identified, agricultural policy favour other plant species, increasing urbanisation coastline, which leads to habitat fragmentation, negative climatic conditions, notably longer period...
