The carob tree, which is a member of the Fabaceae family, an agrosilvopastoral tree whose pre-Mediterranean tropical origin appears well established on basis genetic, fossil and physiological data. C. siliqua has recently been successfully introduced from Mediterranean basin to other parts world that have climate. In terms its domestication, there paleobotanical, philological, ecological histor...

TO THE EDITOR: Although mean airspace chord length (Lm) lacks the elegance of some stereology methods and requires careful attention to technique (4), Mitzner (3) argues that Lm has utility in studying experimental emphysema. Clearly, Lm reflects the dimensions of alveoli but is not a direct estimate of alveolar diameter or mean alveolar size. The functional significance of Lm lies, however, in...

background: scaphoid mal:union: alters the carpal kinematics and impairs clinical outcome because of pain, weakness, restricted range of motion and predisposing the wrist joint to early osteoarthritis. the aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of the scaphoid morphological angles on clinical outcomes in patients with reconstructed scaphoid by non-vascularized bone graft. methods: seve...

An experiment was carried out to compare half-sib and full-sib progeny selection methods in Indian mustard (Brassica juncea L.) under rainfed conditions from 2006-07 to 2009-10 for 14 morpho-physiological characters. Full-sib and half-sib progenies were developed from different populations. The values of genetic parameters were higher in full-sibs compared to half-sibs for a greater number of t...

Extracts from pods and leaves of carob (Ceratonia siliqua L.) were tested for their ability to inhibit cell proliferation of mouse hepatocellular carcinoma cell line (T1). The two extracts showed a marked alteration of T1 cell proliferation in a dose-related fashion reaching the maximal effect at 1 mg/ml. Moreover, we demonstrated that leaf and pod extracts were able to induce apoptosis in T1 c...

There is a growing interest worldwide to find out new and cheap carbohydrate sources for production of bioethanol. In this work, carob pod (Ceratonia Siliqua) is proposed as an economical source for ethanol production, especially, in arid regions. The carob tree is an evergreen shrub native to the Mediterranean region, cultivated for its edible seed pods and it is currently being reemphasised a...

The seeds of various plants were used as weights because their mass reputedly varies so little. Carob (Ceratonia siliqua), which has given its name to the carat, is particularly famous in this regard. But are carob seeds unusually constant in weight and, if not, how did the myth arise? The variability of seeds sampled from a collection of carob trees (CV=23%) was close to the average of 63 spec...
