The aim of this study was to investigate the antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer properties Tunisian Suaeda mollis specie after fractionation by increasing polarity several extracts (Hexane, Dichloromerthane, Methanol water). Water methanol S. exhibited best in vitro antioxidant ability (2.92±0.19 2.77±0.21 µmol TE/mg, respectively), while, dichloromethane extract displayed highest e...

Cesium (Cs) is a soil contaminant and toxic to the ecosystem, especially plant species. In this study, we have assessed potential of halophyte Sesuvium portulacastrum for its Cs tolerance accumulation. Thirty days old S. plants were subjected different concentrations (0, 5, 10, 25, 50, 150 mg·L−1 Cs) using cesium chloride. The biomass photosynthetic pigments not affected up 25 treatment while s...

A recently-published paper on Tripleurospermum (Asteraceae) gave the impetus to examine a small population of this genus waste ground in Bradford (v.c.63). few plants appeared be T. inodorum (L.) Sch. Bip. (Scentless Mayweed) but others had features both species and maritimum W.D.J. Koch (Sea Mayweed), suggesting hybrid x maritimum. This supports occurrence at inland sites, where any backcrossi...

Fungal endophytes have attracted attention due to their functional diversity. Secondary metabolites produced by Pestalotiopsis sydowiana from a halophyte, Phragmites communis Trinus, were investigated. Eleven compounds, including four penicillide derivatives (1-4) and seven α-pyrone analogues (5-10) were isolated from cultures of P. sydowiana. The compounds were identified based on spectroscopi...

The effects of NaCl salinity, different N-sources (nitrate or ammonium), as well as pH on the major enzymes of N-metabolism and total antioxidant capacity were investigated in two subspecies of Aster tripolium L., A. tripolium ssp. tripolium, a maritime halophyte, and A. tripolium ssp. pannonicus, endemic on the continental alkaline salty meadows. Differences in their biochemical and physiologi...
