OBJECTIVES Acute pancreatitis is an inflammatory condition of pancreas with sudden onset, high mortality rate and multiple organ failure characteristics. It has been shown that oxygen free radicals have an important role in development of pancreatitis and its complications. Antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-hepatotoxicity and gastroprotective properties of Cichorium intybus L. suggest that t...

Root colonization by plant-growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) can be increased depending on the type of rhizosphere. The aim of the present study was to determine fluorescent Pseudomonad diversity in lettuce, parsley, arugula and chicory. Roots from these rhizospheres were sampled at different properties of small commercial producers in Campinas, state of Sao Paulo, Brazil. In the diversity ...

Forage chicory is a productive forage resource for eastern North America; however, many soils in the region are acidic and deficient in P and might restrict the widespread use of forage chicory.
