In 2003, a glyphosate-resistant plantago (Plantago lanceolata L.) population located in the Robertson district of South Africa was subjected to different glyphosate dosages and highest dosage (7200 g a.e. ha−1) gave no acceptable levels control. Here we reconfirm resistance investigate mechanism resistance. Dose-response curves indicated that rate causing 50% survival (LD50) for resistant (R) b...

The present study was undertaken to investigate the anti-inflammatory and analgesic activity of total flavone of branches and leaves of Cunninghamia lanceolata (TFC) to provide a scientific basis for its clinical use and resource development. TFC was evaluated for anti-inflammatory and analgesic activity in mice or rats using chemical and thermal models of nociception, including acetic acid-ind...

In 2009, the Global Asthma and Allergy European Network (GALEN) proposed a pan-European standardized allergen battery for clinical practice and research [1]. While Parietaria species sensitization is an unquestionable cause of seasonal allergy in Mediterranean countries [2], and as such is included in this battery, Plantago lanceolata is widely considered to be a rare, isolated cause of hay fev...

Consumption of herbal plants as a remedy to relieve the side effects of fat rich diets is on rise currently. The present study was conducted to scrutinize the impact of fat and fat reducing herbal agents on the serum proteins of Rattus norvegicus. Four groups of adult (A) & weaning (W) R. norvegicus one control and three experimental groups were designated as 0, I, II and III and were fed on ra...

Insect root herbivores can alter plant community structure by affecting the competitive ability of single plants. However, their effects can be modified by the soil environment. Root herbivory itself may induce changes in the soil biota community, and it has recently been shown that these changes can affect plant growth in a subsequent season or plant generation. However, so far it is not known...
