In traditional medicine, of Carica papaya (Caricacea) seeds are used as a coarse powder, in maceration or an aqueous decoction, for the management helminthiasis. With aim contributing to helminthiasis, this study set out develop syrup with anthelmintic properties based on L. The fluid extract was prepared and subjected phytochemical screening. A physicochemical microbiological stability control...

The papaya plant Carica papaya (family: Caricaceae), locally known as Papita, is cultivated commonly in different parts of Sindh-Pakistan specially in Karachi. It was reported hermaphrodite. Recently it has been reported to be an important plant, due to having X and Y chromosomes. As it has been already reported that the papaya sex chromosomes have virtually all of the features that the human s...

The contraceptive efficacy of Carica papaya seeds after short-term evaluation has been well established. We have examined the safety and mechanism of contraception in rats after long-term treatment with the methanol subfraction (MSF) of C. papaya seeds. The test substance was administered orally to the male albino rats (n = 40) at 50 mg per kg body weight each day for 360 days. Control animals ...

Several representatives of Meliaceae contain biologically active compounds that are toxic to insects with few negative effects on the environment and humans. Our study evaluated the activity of ethyl acetate and ethanol extracts from the fruit and seeds of Cabralea canjerana (Vellozo) Mart (Sapindales: Meliaceae) on Anastrepha fraterculus (Wiedemann) (Diptera: Tephritidae). Limonoids and triter...

The present study was carried out to evaluate the antibacterial activities ofethanolicand aqueous extracts of Kigelia africana (Bignoniaceae) and Carica papaya (Caricaceae) against multi drug resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa UTI causing pathogen. The bacterial sp was isolated from urine sample of UTI infected patient and identified with the help of colony characterization, gram staining and bio...

Systemic acquired resistance (SAR) in Carica papaya L. is induced by benzothiadiazole (BTH). The response is manifested by increased tolerance to infection by the virulent pathogen Phytophthora palmivora, by increased b-1,3-glucanase and chitinase activities, and by increased accumulation of a PR1 mRNA. Infection of untreated papaya by P. palmivora also induced b-1,3-glucanase and chitinase act...

Papaya (Carica papaya L.) is one of the major tropical fruit crops worldwide, but it is limited throughout its range by papaya ringspot virus type P (PRSV-P). Previous genetic studies identified a functional PRSV-P resistance marker in a mapping population of F2 plants of Vasconcellea pubescens (resistant to PRSV-P) × Vasconcellea parviflora (susceptible to PRSV-P) and showed that the marker ex...

Twenty-one plants were identified through pre were selected for in vitro anti-helminthic activity against that were initially screened, five gave appreciable posit ED50s obtained were: 1.62mg/ml (Tetradenia riparia), 12.50 mg/ml (Carica papaya) and 16.75mg/ml (Mo findings showed that Tetradenia riparia, Cassia occiden foetida and Erythrina abysinnica may be of value in whereas Moringa oleifera ...

Abstract There is little information on pollen morphological analysis of papaya cultivars with different flesh color and origins. We observed characters 17 through scanning electron microscopy. The results showed that grains were monads, tricolporate, small medium-sized. oblate-spheroidal to spheroidal. Foveolate, reticulate, fossulate exine ornamentation observed. Colpi width had maximum coeff...

th (Hafmer, 1998) and was introduced in India in 16 century from Malacca (Kumar and Abraham, 1983). Papaya is one of the most important fruit crops of Hawaii, Malaysia, Burma, Sri Lanka, India, Queens Land, South Africa, and other tropical and sub-tropical countries of the world. Papaya occupies 2.0 per cent total fruit crop area and 5.3 per cent of total fruit production in India (5381.73 thou...
