Plant Based Natural Products (PBNPs) have contributed to the development of many drugs for diverse indications. Worldwide interest in use plants based natural products has been growing, and its beneficial effects being rediscovered new drugs. Literature survey on indigenous traditional knowledge bestows ethnopharmacological potentials PBNPs, which inspired research drug discovery; further it pr...

The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness Astragalus hamosus root phenolic extracts (APE) on blood profiles in albumin mice. Twenty male mice were divided into 4 groups, each with five mice, that treated orally a plant extract three doses (0.3,0.5 and 1.3 mg.ml-1). chemical compositions analyzed using Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC–MS). In contrast results, Thymol main ...

Yeşil şeftali yaprakbiti, Myzus persicae (Sulzer, 1776) (Hemiptera: Aphididae) tarımının yapıldığı alanlarda zarar yapan önemli bir türdür. Mücadelesinde sıklıkla sentetik kimyasallara başvurulmaktadır. Sentetik kimyasalların dezavantajlarının tartışıldığı son yıllarda tarımsal zararlı kontrolünde alternatif mücadele yöntemlerinin araştırıldığı çalışmalar hız kazanmıştır. Portakal yağı gibi mon...

Methods: The essential oils from the stem bark, leaves, and fruits of Commiphora gileadensis-collected at the Ein Gedi Botanical Garden, Israel-were obtained by hydrodistillation and analyzed by gas ch...

Emissions of biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) are important precursors to both ozone and secondary organic aerosol formation. In this study, we identify and quantify volatile (C(10)) and intermediate-volatility (C(15)) BVOCs stored in and emitted from 22 prominent woody and herbaceous crops with a particular focus on sesquiterpenoids (SQTs), which have presented measurement challenge...

Strictosidine beta-D-glucosidase (SG) follows strictosidine synthase (STR1) in the production of the reactive intermediate required for the formation of the large family of monoterpenoid indole alkaloids in plants. This family is composed of approximately 2000 structurally diverse compounds. SG plays an important role in the plant cell by activating the glucoside strictosidine and allowing it t...

BACKGROUND Production of monoterpenoids as valuable chemicals using recombinant microbes is a growing field of interest. Unfortunately, antimicrobial activity of most monoterpenoids hampers a wide application of microorganisms for their production. Strains of Pseudomonas putida, a fast growing and metabolically versatile bacterium, often show an outstanding high tolerance towards organic solven...
