Lime or Citrus aurantifolia L., is a small citrus fruit that belongs to the family Rutaceae. The fruit and leaves of C. aurantifolia have been used traditionally for weight loss, skin care, relief from constipation and treatment of scurvy, etc. The purpose of this study was to determine the flavonoid, total phenolic content and investigation of anti-oxidant potential of Citrus aurantifolia leav...

conclusions further investigations are needed about favorable composition of unsaturated fatty acids and flavonoid content of leaves of s. paradoxa. in addition, due to high phenolic content of the leaves, s. paradoxa is a promising source of natural antioxidants and may play good antidiabetic activity. results the amount of total phenolic compounds was higher in leaves than roots. besides, roo...

a factorial experiment based randomized complete block was conducted in order to investigation of two rice (oryza sativa l.) genotypes responses for na+, k+, ca2+, mg2+, clˉ, mn2+, p and total soluble sugars accumulation and compartmentation in leaves 3, 4, 5 and 6 to salt stress. in estimation of the simple correlation between traits, dry weight was negatively correlated with na+ and clˉ. the ...

With over 1,000 species, Pteridaceae comprises approximately 10% of extant fern diversity and is notable for its extreme morphological and ecological disparity. In addition to species-rich and predominantly forest-dwelling genera such as Adiantum and Pteris, the family includes floating, freshwater aquatics (Ceratopteris), mangrove specialists (Acrostichum), obligate epiphytes (Vittaria), and e...

Proserpinaca palustris L. produced juvenile leaves on 8-hour photoperiods, adult leaves on 12-hour photoperiods, and adult leaves and flowers on 14-hour photoperiods. Treatment of plants growing on 8- and 14-hour photoperiods with gibberellic acid caused stem elongation and inhibited flowering. The treated plants on 8-hour photoperiods produced adult-like leaves.

Phytochemical investigation of Tanacetum parthenium L. family Asteraceae cultivated in Egypt resulted in isolation and identification of four flavonoids. One surface flavonoid was isolated from the fresh leaves and three other flavonoids were isolated from the flower heads. Four sesquiterpene lactones were isolated from the leaves. Two sterols were isolated from the roots. A comparative study o...
