Populations of Eruca sativa (Brassicaceae) derived from arid and Mediterranean habitats exhibit ecotypic differentiation. Here, pooled DNA sequencing was used to assess adaptive genome differentiation in the two ecotypes. Differentiated SNP loci were scanned with empirical F ST outlier method by correlating allele frequencies environmental parameters. Genetic diversity values relatively higher ...

BACKGROUND Lactuca sativa (garden lettuce) is a popular salad herb. It has been in use in folk medicine since ancient times as both an appetite stimulant and as an aid to sleep. L. sativa seed oil (Sedan(®)) has demonstrated a pronounced sedative effect and potentiated the hypnotic effect of barbiturates in animal models. It also exhibited significant analgesic and anti-inflammatory activities....

Crude extracts from olive leaves and arugula seeds were screened for its in vitro antibacterial activity. Antibacterial activity was determined by using disc diffusion method against three bacteria (, Staphylococcus aurous and Bacillus cereus). Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) have been determined. Gallic acid was used as a standard drug for th...

Abstract Background Microalgae and nanoparticles are currently considered promising tools for numerous agricultural biotechnological applications. The green microalga Chlorella sp. MF1 its biosynthesized silver (AgNPs) were used in this study as biofortification agents to enhance glucosinolate kaempferol levels Eruca sativa . UV–visible spectroscopy, XRD, FTIR TEM comprehensively characterizing...
