The present study was designed to evaluate the biological potentials and phenolic composition of different parts Glaucosciadium cordifolium, which is less investigated known as a wild endemic species Turkey. antioxidant activity plant determined using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), 2,2'-Azinobis-(3-Ethylbenzthiazolin-6-Sulfonic Acid) (ABTS), iron chelating capacity, ?-carotene / linoleic...

A naturally occurring BHT was identified in the leaves of the halophyte plant Mesembryanthemum crystallinum. This phenol was extracted in this study by two methods at the different plant growth stages. One of the methods was better for BHT extraction; the concentration of this phenol is plant growth stage dependent. In this study, the floraison stage has the highest BHT concentration. The antio...

Background and Aims: The aim of the present study was to determine morphological, micromorphological, anatomical palynological characteristics Glaucosciadium cordifolium (Boiss.) B.L. Burtt & P.H. Davis Methods: Measurements were performed on approximately 30 different samples for morphological study. fruit micromorphologies pollen properties examined using scanning electron microscopy. Fo...

Understanding the molecular mechanisms that convey salt tolerance in plants is a crucial issue for increasing crop yield. The ice plant (Mesembryanthemum crystallinum) is a halophyte that is capable of growing under high salt conditions. For example, the roots of ice plant seedlings continue to grow in 140 mM NaCl, a salt concentration that completely inhibits Arabidopsis thaliana root growth. ...

In the facultative halophyte Mesembryanthemum crystallinum (common ice plant), irrigation with solutions containing NaCl induces an alternate mode of carbon dioxide fixation, Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM). The salt stress protocol which we have established facilitates the study of CAM induction and the correlation of changes in metabolism and gene expression. We have studied the time cours...
