Methods: Aqueous extract (AqRS) and fresh juice (FreRS) of Raphanus sativus L. were prepared and evaluated by preliminary phytochemical test. Laxative action of the extract at a dose of 250, 500 and 750 mg/kg (p.o) was evaluated using wistar albino rats, weighing 200-300 g, in different experimental model such as loperamide induced constipation, laxative activity test, gastrointestinal motility...

Effect of Coating Agents Silver Nanoparticles on Their Accumulation in and Growth Radish (Raphanus sativus )

In the present investigation was carried out to find out the impact of Triadimefon(TDM) and hexaconazole (HEX) triazole fungicides on the leaf anatomy of Radish (Raphanus sativus L.) The plant was treated with one litre of aqueous solution containing 20 mg -1 triadimefon (TDM) and 20mg -1 hexaconazole (HEX) on 23,35 and 53, days after sowing (DAS) by soil drenching. The plants were harvested on...

The probability of cardiovascular diseases in diabetic patients increases due to hyperlipidemia. Raphanus sativus is a traditional plant which is used to lower plasma lipid. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of aqueous extract of Raphanus Sativus on plasma glucose, triglyceride, and cholesterol in diabetic rats. For this purpose, 30 male rats were selected, maintained in standa...

In order to study the effect of silver nanoparticles and magnetic field on Raphanus sativus. experiments were carried out with four treatments in 10 days. Treatments were including (CON) control, (MF) magnetic field with B=1.8 mT for 1h per day in 10 days, (SNPs) silver nanoparticles (50 ppm), (MF+SNPs) magnetic field plus silver nanoparticles. Results showed that silver nanoparticles (SNPs) ha...

We consider an economy where a lender nances his loans to borrowers by issuing a securitized product to an investor and where the credit quality of the product may depend on whether the lender screens the borrowers. In the presence of asymmetric information between the lender and the investor about the credit quality of potential borrowers, overvaluation of the low quality securitized product m...

plant materials have been found useful in decontamination of water polluted with phenolic compounds. the detoxification effect is due to peroxidases contained in plant tissue. enzyme mediated oxidative coupling of phenol is followed by precipitation of the formed polymer and its removal from the aqueous phase. a synthetic wastewater buffered at ph = 7.4 containing 0.9 mm phenol was treated in t...

When cultivating genetically modified varieties, the spontaneous gene flow between crop and wild relatives could be of concern. We analyzed spontaneous hybridization between a transgenic male-sterile line of oilseed rape (Brassica napus, 2n = 38, AACC) and, as pollen donors, three European populations of wild radish (Raphanus raphanistrum, 2n = 18, Rr,Rr) and a variety of cultivated radish (Rap...

For more than three decades, various in vitro and in vivo studies have linked radishes with diabetes, though this link has not been discussed. This review systematically addresses and summarizes the effect of radishes on diabetes. We searched the Web of Science, PubMed, and EMBASE databases for English language articles from June 1987 through May 2017 using the key words "radish" and "diabetes,...

abstract there is a world-wide effort to reduce the amount of chemicals used in crop production by introducing modern biological and ecological methods. one possible alternative is allelopathy. a laboratory trial was carried out to investigate of alleopathic potential of angelica . in this study the effect of different concentrations of aqueous extract of angelica herb was investigated on seed ...
