UNLABELLED Mango (>Mangifera indica) belonging to Anacardiaceae family is a fruit that grows in tropical regions. It is considered as the King of fruits. The present work was taken up to identify a tool in identifying the mango species at the molecular level. The chloroplast trnL-F region was amplified from extracted total genomic DNA using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and sequenced. Seq...

BACKGROUND Plants have proved to be an important source of anti-cancer drugs. Here we have investigated the cytotoxic action of an aqueous extract of Fagonia cretica, used widely as a herbal tea-based treatment for breast cancer. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS Using flow cytometric analysis of cells labeled with cyclin A, annexin V and propidium iodide, we describe a time and dose-dependent a...

The statistical analysis revealed that 10g and 20g extracts of all the tested plants significantly inhibited the growth of Lemna minor with significant differences. The plants means were non-significant while the interaction between extracts and plants was significant. Fagonia cretica, Peganum harmala, Tribulus terrestris, Chrozophora tinctoria and Ricinus communis caused significant growth inh...
