objective it has previously been shown that prenatal maternal administration of boswellia serrata gum resin (frankincense) improved learning and memory performance associated with an increase in the size of neuronal bodies in ca3 (cornu ammonis) of hippocampus. continuing the previous work, a morphometric study was designed on ca3 field to examine precisely the effect of prenatal administration...

Boswellia sacra (Burseraceae), a keystone endemic species, is famous for the production of fragrant oleo-gum resin. However, the genetic make-up especially the genomic information about chloroplast is still unknown. Here, we described for the first time the chloroplast (cp) genome of B. sacra. The complete cp sequence revealed a circular genome of 160,543 bp size with 37.61% GC content. The cp ...
