In this investigation, the species of root-knot nematodes (RKNs) infesting weeds in kiwifruit orchards were investigated Ordu Province, Türkiye. A survey was conducted 2018 and roots with RKN infestations found orchards. The infested weed samples collected from 27 fruit located Province. Identification RKNs performed using molecular method based on mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). mtDNA region betwee...

Catnip (Nepeta cataria) is an important medicinal herb belonging to the mint family, Lamiaceae. In this study, the in vitro antimicrobial and antioxidant activities of the essential oil and methanol extract from Nepeta cataria, and its essential oil composition were investigated. The essential oil, which has 4aalpha,7alpha,7abeta-nepetalactone (70.4%), 4aalpha,7alpha,7abeta-nepetalactone (6.0%)...

To investigate the effects of different types irradiation on growth and morphological characteristics leaf lettuce (Lactuca sativa L. var. crispa “Greenwave”), a quantitative analysis contour using an elliptic Fourier descriptor (EFD) was carried out together with conventional measurement methods. Two experiments were conducted to test treatments. Experiment 1 investigated monochromatic/alterna...

Purpose. Jute mallow (Corchorus olitorius L.) is a mucilaginous vegetable and fiber crop cultivated in the tropics, where catnip (Nepeta cataria Mexican sunflower (Tithonia diversifolia are common weeds. Hence, study investigated growth, yield, nutrient level of jute weed-free, catnip, environments. Methods. The involved two screen-house experiments Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with six r...

Sparassis crispa (SC), known as Hanabiratake in Japanese, is an edible mushroom with various medicinal properties. We isolated 3 novel phthalides, designated hanabiratakelide A (1), B (2), and C (3), from the SC fruit body. In this investigation, 3 known phthalides (4-6), ubiquinone-9, and 2 known unsaturated fatty acids were also isolated. Their structures were elucidated primarily through ext...

Crispene E, a new clerodane-type diterpene, inhibited STAT3 dimerization in a cell-free fluorescent polarisation assay and was found to have significant toxicity against STAT3-dependent MDA-MB 231 breast cancer cell line and selectively inhibited the expression of STAT3 and STAT3 target genes cyclin D1, Fascin and bcl-2. Molecular docking studies suggest the molecule inhibits STAT3 by interacti...

It is known that lettuce (Lactuca sativa L. var. crispa L.) phenological stage and environmental changes can cause in the plant cell morphology an important variation secondary metabolites. Antioxidant compounds are beneficial to health salinity increase them. The aim of this study was determine effect salt concentration (NaCl 0.05 0.1 mol L-1) harvest time (days 10, 20 30) on mass, color param...
