The emergence of epidemic fungal pathogenic resistance to current antifungal drugs has increased the interest in developing alternative antibiotics from natural sources. Cicer arietinum is well known for its medicinal properties. The aim of this work was to isolate antimicrobial proteins from Cicer arietinum. An antifungal protein, C-25, was isolated from Cicer arietinum and purified by gel fil...

This study aims to determine nutritional as well as medicinal properties of Moringa oleifera (Drumstick) and Cicer arietinum (Chick pea) leaves. The possible health benefits of these underutilized leafy vegetables were explored by determining total phenolic content by Folin-Ciocalteau reagent, free radical-scavenging activity by 2, 2diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl and phytochemicals extracted with ac...

The title compound, C(13)H(14)N(2)O(2), is a natural product isolated from Cicer arietinum L. (chickpea). The benzene ring and pyrrole rings display planar conformations and the piperidine ring has a half-chair conformation. Inter-molecular C-H⋯π inter-actions between a methyl H atom and the pyrrole ring of an adjacent mol-ecule are present in the crystal structure.

The aim of this study was to isolate, identify and characterize ascochyta blight pathogens from Cicer judaicum , a wild annual Cicer species which grows in Israel and other Mediterranean countries in sympatric distribution with legume crops, and determine their virulence and aggressiveness to other wild and domesticated legumes. Native C. judaicum plants exhibited symptoms resembling ascochyta ...

We compared root responses of the Ni-hyperaccumulator plant Berkheya coddii Rossler with the non-accumulator plant Cicer arietinum L. to Ni heterogeneity in soil. We grew plants in growth containers filled with control soil, homogeneously spiked, and heterogeneously spiked soil with Ni concentrations of 62 and 125 mg kg(-1). Neutron radiography (NR) was used to observe the root distribution and...

Background: Cicer arietinum (Chickpea) is one of the most important harvests in the world with high nutritional value. Lack of essential oils in the seeds of Chickpea is an advantage in search for drug-like molecules with less toxicity. We evaluated anticonvulsant effect of C. arietinum in common animal models of epilepsy. Methods: Dichloromethane extract was obtained from C. arietinum seeds by...

There was a linear increase in poly (A+) polymerase activity in the C. arietinum epicotyls during germination. Six-day-old auxin treated seedlings showed about 3-4 fold stimulation in enzyme activity, accompanied with 3- fold rise in the relative abundance of poly (A+) RNA levels. Actinomycin D, cycloheximide, cordycepin and amino acid analogues caused dramatic decline in poly (A+) polymerase a...
