Microsatellite markers were used to evaluate the genetic diversity and population genetic structure in the critically endangered Limonium dufourii (Plumbaginaceae), a highly endemic triploid species from the coasts of eastern Spain. Sixty-five alleles from 13 microsatellite regions were amplified in a sample of 122 individuals collected from the six extant populations. Microsatellite patterns w...

The prevalence of sodium (Na)-'hyperaccumulator' species, which exhibit abnormally large shoot sodium concentrations ([Na]shoot ) when grown in nonsaline environments, was investigated among angiosperms in general and within the Caryophyllales order in particular. Shoot Na concentrations were determined in 334 angiosperm species, representing 35 orders, grown hydroponically in a nonsaline solut...

The biggest genus of flowering plants in the Plumbaginaceae family is called Plumbago indica L. This plant regarded as toxic and used mostly for external applications to cure skin conditions. root thought be most active component plant. It an emmenagogue, abortifacient, alterative, carminative, stimulant, tomachic, vesicant. internally improve menstrual flow, cleanse blood, stimulate digestion,...

The plant Plumbago rosea Linn., belonging to the Plumbaginaceae family, is an important medicinal herb distributed in part of Southeast Asia, and there are many reports its pharmacological properties. However, allelopathic activities P. have not been examined. Thus, present study was conducted assess activity identify substances. aqueous methanol stem extract significantly suppressed seedling g...

Osteosarcoma, which is the most common primary bone tumor, occurs most frequently in adolescents. A number of studies have indicated that plumbagin (PL) (5-hydroxy-2-methyl-1, 4-naphthoquinone), a compound found in the plants of the Plumbaginaceae and Droseraceae families, possesses anticancer activity. However, its anticancer effects and mechanisms against osteosarcoma have not been explored. ...

Several reports have demonstrated the anticancer activities of plumbagin, a naphthoquinone derivative isolated from plants belonging to Plumbaginaceae family. However, to the best of our knowledge, there are no reports which describe gold nanoconjugation with plumbagin, even though plumbagin is considered to be a promising therapeutic agent. In this report, we demonstrate the fabrication and ch...
