Compounds found organs of this have antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal properties, but, despite these features, sea affected by pathogens. As shown studies on health presence pathogenic fungi aboveground ...

Extensive vegetation restoration projects have been widely implemented on the Loess Plateau, China, since 1998. In addition, increasing attention has been paid to the influence of revegetation on soil water. However, the response of the soil water content (SWC) to vegetation construction and management has not been adequately studied. In this study, three types of typical artificial vegetation ...

One time treatment with standardized extract from leaves of Hippophae rhamnoides L. (coded as SBL-1), 30min before irradiation with lethal dose (10 Gy) of Co-gamma rays rendered >90% radioprotection to mice population. The present study was planned to examine the effects of SBL-1 on mouse spleen cell populations in whole body lethally irradiated mice. All non-SBL-1 treated irradiated (10 Gy) mi...

Nitrogen (N)-fixing species have a function to enrich N in soil. Mixing N-fixing shrub species into poplar stands can be assumed as a measure to increase productivity while improving soil fertility. To verify this assumption and to understand the temporal influences of N-fixing shrub species mixed into poplar plantations on soil fertility, we investigated selected soil chemical and microbial pr...

Present study involves evaluation of effects of 75% ethanolic extract of seabuckthorn [Hippophae rhamnoides L. (SBT)] leaves on scopolamine induced cognitive impairment in rats using three different oral doses i.e. 50, 100 and 200 mg/kg body weight through assessment of various biochemical and behavioural parameters. Scopolamine administration resulted in an increase in acetylcholinesterase (AC...
