The species Arundinella hirta L. posseses a striking variation of the leaf anatomy that is characteristic of C(4) grasses. In addition to a sheath of large, bright green cells around the vascular bundles, there are strands of large parenchyma cells which appear identical to the bundle sheath cells and which run parallel to the vascular bundles, but which are not associated with any vascular tis...

The present study was carried out to evaluate both the ethanol and water extracts of entire plant Euphorbia hirta (Family: Euphorbiaceae) for its anti-diarrheal potential against some of the experimental model of diarrhea in rats. The plant showed significant inhibitatory activity against castor-oil-induced diarrhea and PGE2 induced enteropooling in rats. Both the extracts of the plant also sho...

Experimental evidence for the presence in mustard seedlings of an esterase that catalyzes the hydrolysis of sinapine into sinapic acid and choline has been presented previously (12). It was felt that further studies on this enzyme might be of some general biochemical interest. A preparation of sinapine esterase purified 20fold has been obtained from white mustard seedlings (Brassica hirta Moenc...

Euphorbia hirta is commonly found in all tropical regions of the world, as invasive weed with an adverse effect on other plants. The current study features two important aspects: (i), Effects E. roots exudates (0, 50, 75 and 100% concentrations) (ii), Influence PEG 6000 “Polyethylene glycol” (8, 16 40 g/l germination growth criterion Cicer arietinum (Chick pea) Phaseolus vulgaris (French bean)....

Natural product-based herbicides could be the effective alternatives to synthetic chemical for eco-friendly weed management. This research, therefore, was conducted identify phytotoxic properties of Parthenium hysterophorus L., Cleome rutidosperma DC. and Borreria alata (Aubl.) with a view introducing them as tool natural herbicide development. The methanol extracts these plants were examined o...

Drug development begins with medicinal plants as valuable materials. Euphorbia hirta (EH) andNauclea latifolia (NL) are important having applications in the management ofinfectious diseases. This research aimed at evaluating EH and NL leaves for their anthelminticproperty establishment of probable dauer diapause effect induced via interaction daf-12nuclear receptor worms using standard procedur...
