Green silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and crude ethanolic, methanolic, aqueous, acetonic extracts from leaves of Agave americana, Mentha spicata, Mangifera indica were scrutinized for possible antineoplastic cytotoxic efficacy. In this study, all the synthesized AgNPs characterized using UV-Vis spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, SEM (scanning electron microscopy), TEM (transmission EDX-spectroscopy,...

in traditional medicine, mentha spicata is widely used for many diseases, especially in  digestive system. it has anti-androgenic effects thus can be used by women experiencing polycystic ovary syndrome (pcos). also, it has shown to possess antioxidant properties. although beneficial, studies have shown its detrimental effect on some tissues. the present study was carried out to determine the e...

The present study was conducted with the objective of finding out the concordance between morphological data and molecular data of Mentha spicata and Mentha royleana. Moreover the study was aimed to investigate the relationship between and within the two species. Mentha species were collected from QAU, Shadara, Chattar, Donga gali and Qarshi industries, Hattar. For molecular study Random Amplif...

This study was designed to investigate the phenolic acid contents and antioxidant activities of 14 clones mint species (M. spicata, M. piperita, villoso nervata dumetorum) that cultivated in Turkey. The were analysed using HPLC. these Mentha evaluated by free radical scavenging activity (DDPH•), cation (ABTS•+) reducing power tests. Additionally, total content determined spectrophoto metrically...

Effective population size (N(e)) is the key parameter for predicting genetic drift associated with germplasm regeneration. A major factor reducing N(e) below the census population size (N(c)) is variation in seed production among plants in a given population. The objectives of this study were to estimate N(e)/N(c) associated with variation in seed production in three model wind pollinated, pere...

Objective(s): The aim of this study was to improve different characteristics including antibacterial, antioxidant and physical properties of nanochitosan film by incorporating Mentha spicata essential oil (EO) and methanolic pomegranate peel and grape seed extracts. Methods: The determination of the chemical composition of M. spicata EO was conducted by means of gas chromatography with ma...

species. Similar findings have previously been reported for M. piperita (Bricout & Paupardin, 1975) and M. rotundifolia (Bricout et al., 1978). Many of the calluses accumulate only the early precursors of the monoterpenes (namely geraniol, linalol and lavandulol), but some species give rise to cultures that accumulate monoterpenes characteristic of the intact plant. For example, cell lines from...
