in the present study, we reported the essential oils chemical composition and antibacterial activities of the aerial parts of ajuga chamaecistus ging. ex benth. subsp. scoparia (boiss.) rech.f. thatwere collected duringmay 2013 and april 2014 and extracted by sde (simultaneous distillation–extraction) and clevenger apparatus. gc/ms analysis of the plant essential oils led to the identification ...

Allelopathy is described as the interference to plant growth resulting from chemical interactions among plants and other organisms mediated through release of bioactive secondary metabolites. Since only a few studies have been reported about role seed allelopathy, an experiment was designed evaluate seeds Portulaca oleracea L. crop species common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), onion (Allium cepa...

Endosymbiosis is an important evolutionary event for organisms, and there is widespread interest in understanding the evolution of endosymbiosis establishment. Hydra is one of the most suitable organisms for studying the evolution of endosymbiosis. Within the genus Hydra, H. viridissima and H. vulgaris show endosymbiosis with green algae. Previous studies suggested that the endosymbiosis in H. ...

Effects of salt stress on Artemisia scoparia and A. vulgaris "Variegate" were examined. A. scoparia leaves became withered under NaCl treatment, whereas A. vulgaris "Variegate" leaves were not remarkably affected. Chlorophyll content decreased in both species, with a higher reduction in A. scoparia. Contents of proline, MDA, soluble carbohydrate, and Na(+) increased in both species under salt s...

BACKGROUND The -308 G/A polymorphism in the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) gene has been implicated in the risk of acne vulgaris, but the results are inconclusive. The present meta-analysis aimed to investigate the overall association between the -308 G/A polymorphism and acne vulgaris risk. METHODS We searched in Pubmed, Embase, Web of Science and CNKI for studies evaluating the association bet...

Barney, J. N. and DiTommaso, A. 2003. The biology of Canadian weeds. 118. Artemisia vulgaris L. Can. J. Plant Sci. 83: 205–215. Artemisia vulgaris L. (mugwort) is an introduced rhizomatous perennial found primarily along roadsides, in waste areas, and in non-containerized nursery crops in eastern regions of Canada and the United States. Artemisia vulgaris is rapidly spreading throughout the Nor...

The essential oil from the aerial parts of Iranian and British Thymus vulgaris L. were obtained by hydro distillation and analyzed by gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatographymass spectrometry (GC-MS). Forty two components were identified in the Iranian Th. vulgaris essential oil that represented 99.06% of the oils. The major components were thymol (60.54%), γTerpinene (9.47%), p-cymene (8...

Atherosclerosis, which manifests as acute coronary syndrome, stroke, and peripheral arterial diseases, is a chronic inflammatory disease of the arterial wall. Prunella vulgaris, a perennial herb with a worldwide distribution, has been used as a traditional medicine in inflammatory disease. Here, we investigated the effects of P. vulgaris ethanol extract on TNF-α-induced inflammatory responses i...

UNLABELLED Verruca vulgaris (common warts) is a benign lesion of skin and mucous membranes caused by human papillomavirus (HPV). The lesions are typically self-limited but may vary in size and number. The occurrence on the tongue is extremely rare. To the best of our knowledge, only one verruca vulgaris existing in the tongue had been reported in the literature. CASE PRESENTATION A rare case ...

Amaranthaceae Juss. family encompasses many edible plants with prominent biological activity. This investigation tested the bioactive properties of ethanolic and methanolic extract three well-known species: spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.), chard (Beta vulgaris L. subsp. vulgaris), orache (Atriplex hortensis L.) through determination total phenolic flavonoid content, antioxidant activity, antibac...
