Cleome viscosa L., an annual rainy season weed, is cosmopolitan in distribution. Two naturally growing populations of C. viscosa from Jammu, J & K, India have been studied for floral variation at an intra-plant level and its possible role in its life cycle. Plants of both the populations bear flowers which exhibit tremendous intra-plant variation in size (large and small) and sex (hermaphrodite...

UNLABELLED BACKGROUND Natural products isolated from plant sources have been demonstrated as potential candidates against several ailments. The scientific investigations on the underlying principles of phytotherapy can pave way for the convergence of traditional medicines and modern science and technologies. RESULTS Quercetin 3-O-(2''-acetyl)-glucoside obtained from ethyl acetate fraction ...

Pollen is appropriately referred by some as Golden dust extremely valuable on account of their tremendous applications in science, industries and public health. No other plant part even though tiny size packed with so much information power. Similar to parts, pollen characters are varied that the classification system plants can be built up entirely basis morphology.Palynology distinct branch b...

However, these plants are underutilized and their is determined by ILVs' regional cuisines accepted certain ethnic groups. This study was set out to assess accepta...

This study was carried out to determine the mineral profile, proximate composition, and qualitative quantitative phytochemical constituents of Cleome rutidosperma found in Ado-Ekiti Nigeria, using different standard chemical analytical methods. Results analysis showed that comprises 11.8±0.1% moisture, 10.4±0.0% ash, 22.8±0.1% crude protein, 5.10±0.0% fiber, 4.42±0.08% fat 45.5±0.0% carbohydrat...

Natural product-based herbicides could be the effective alternatives to synthetic chemical for eco-friendly weed management. This research, therefore, was conducted identify phytotoxic properties of Parthenium hysterophorus L., Cleome rutidosperma DC. and Borreria alata (Aubl.) with a view introducing them as tool natural herbicide development. The methanol extracts these plants were examined o...
