the aim of the present study was to evaluate hypnotic effect of coriandrum sativum, ziziphus jujuba , lavandula angustifolia and melissa officinalis hydroalcoholic extracts in mice to select the most effective ones for a combination formula. three doses of the extracts (250, 500 and 1000 mg/kg of c. sativum and z. jujuba and 200, 400 and 800 mg/kg of l. angustifolia and m. officinalis ) were or...

There is a need for a reliable sustainable option to effectively manage the landfill leachate generation. This study presents a simple procedure for the revegetation of the walls of closed landfills, employing the leachate as a fertirrigant. The native plants Lepidium sativum, Lactuca sativa, and Atriplex halimus, which suit the local climate, were chosen for this study in Southern Italy. The m...

Cochlioquinone A, isolated from the fungus Helminthosporium sativum, was found to have nematocidal activity. Cochlioquinone A is a competitive inhibitor of specific [3H]ivermectin binding suggesting that cochlioquinone A and ivermectin interact with the same membrane receptor.

OBJECTIVE The schistosomicidal properties of garlic (Allium sativum) and onion (Allium cepa) powder were tested in vitro against Schistosoma mansoni miracidia, schistosomula, cercaria and adult worms. Results indicate their strong biocidal effects against all stages of the parasite and also show scavenging inhibitory effect on 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and nitric oxide (NO). MATERI...

Ruminal inoculum enriched with particle-associated microorganisms was collected from rumen cannulated Santa Inês wethers grazing tropical grass pasture and a supplement based on ground corn and soybean before feeding and used to evaluate effects of some commercial essential oils (EO) on ruminal fermentation and methane emission in vitro. The investigated EOs were orange EO (Citrus sinensis, CrS...

PsSat5, a cDNA clone from Pisum sativum cv. Alaska, contained a microsatellite consisting of 15 TCA repeats within the 59UTR. This SSR microsatellite was immediately upstream of the presumptive ATG start codon. PCR amplification of genomic DNA from cv. Alaska yielded an identical sequence. This repeat region was analyzed from 10 additional wild and cultivated accessions of Pisum and from four c...

Myrigalone A (MyA) is a rare flavonoid in fruit leachates of Myrica gale, a deciduous shrub adapted to flood-prone habitats. As a putative allelochemical it inhibits seed germination and seedling growth. Using Lepidium sativum as a model target species, experiments were conducted to investigate how environmental cues modulate MyA's interference with key processes of seed germination. Time cours...

BACKGROUND Consumption of vegetables has been proven to be effective in the prevention of different diseases. Traditionally edible aerial part of Pisum sativum L. subsp. sativum (Fabaceae) is used to treat diabetes, heart diseases and as blood purifier. Present study was aimed to explore the traditional use of aerial parts of P. sativum as a source of antidiabetic agent. In addition, antioxidan...
