During the floristic research in Emirate of Fujairah United Arab Emirates (UAE) 2017–2022, we made new findings that complement species composition flora vascular plants territory and UAE as a whole. The article provides data on 17 ergasiophygophytes – cultivated running wild plant species, alien to Fujairah: Pseuderanthemum maculatum (G. Lodd.) I.M. Turner var. atropurpurem (W. Bull) V.V. Byal...

BACKGROUND Sansevieria roxburghiana Schult. & Schult. F. (Family: Asparagaceae) rhizome has been claimed to possess antidiabetic activity in the ethno-medicinal literature in India. Therefore, present experiments were carried out to explore the protective role of edible (aqueous) extract of S. roxburghiana rhizome (SR) against experimentally induced type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and its assoc...

The geographical distribution, ecological and coenotic features of the place growth age structure Ornithogalum boucheanum populations in Ukraine have been studied. In total, during entire period floristic research Ukraine, 263 native sites this species were recorded 13 administrative regions (oblasts). Mostly these are concentrated Steppe zone, where main part Eastern European fragment general ...

Background and aims – In self-incompatible species, geitonogamous pollen deposition can result in stigma clogging, with negative effects on cross-fertilisation subsequently reduced fruit seed set. this work, using laboratory field experiments pollinators captivity, we describe the reproductive system of Hyacinthoides non-scripta analyse effect different mechanisms transfer, trying to quantify g...

While the majority of plants use the typical C3 carbon metabolic pathway, ~6% of angiosperms have adapted to carbon limitation as a result of water stress by employing a modified form of photosynthesis known as Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM). CAM plants concentrate carbon in the cells by temporally separating atmospheric carbon acquisition from fixation into carbohydrates. CAM has been stud...

Agave Linnaeus, 1753 is endemic of America and is considered one of the most important crops in Mexico due to its key role in the country's economy. Cytogenetic analysis was carried out in Agave tequilana Weber, 1902 'Azul', Agave cupreata Trelease et Berger, 1915 and Agave angustifolia Haworth, 1812. The analysis showed that in all species the diploid chromosome number was 2n = 60, with bimoda...
