natural antioxidants have an important role in the prevention of many age-related diseases and promotion of health. among natural antioxidants from plants, flavonoids and other phenolic compounds are potent antioxidants and chelating agents. moringa peregrina (forssk.) fiori (moringaceae) is a small desert tree distributed from tropical africa to east india. moringa tree is also growing in sout...

       Volatile constituents of the seed kernel and leaf of cultivated Moringa peregrina (Forssk.) Fiori, Agricolt collected after hydrolysis were analyzed by GC and GC/MS. Five glucosinolate degradation products which constituted almost the whole isolated oil of the seed kernel were identified to be: isobutyl isothiocyanate (94.0%), isopropyl isothiocyanate (4.9%), sec-butyl isothiocy...

moringa pregerina (forssk.) fiori.,capparis decidua (forssk.) edgew. and salvadora oleides decne. are important indegenious shrub or tree species of sahara-sindian region which distributed and formed scattered woodlands in south east of iran. the current research was carried out to find most effective soil characteristics intheir distribiution. for this purpose, a study was conducted in the bal...

Our study attempted to elucidate the significance of floral and pollen traits highly nutritious tropical trees Moringa oleifera peregrina for their reproductive success under arid conditions. We found that grains both species were immersed in a pollenkitt constituted ~60% pollen. Successful pollination was achieved by large bees inserting into narrow stylar tube. that, upon removal pollenkitt, ...

Seeds of Moringa peregrina (Forssk.) Fiori. (Moringaceae) is widely used in south east of Iran for gastrointestinal disorders. However, so far there is no pharmacological evidence for antispasmodic activity of this plant extract. Therefore, the aim of this research was to investigate antispasmodic activity of M. peregrina on rat isolated ileum contraction. Hydroalcoholic extract was obtained by...

The present study was conducted to investigate genetic diversity between and within of six populations with different individual numbers of cultivated and non-cultivated provenances of  Moringa peregrina (Forssk.) Fiori and Moringa oleifera Lam. using RAPD, ISSR and various combinations of RAPD and ISSR primers in one multiplex PCR (R-ISSR). 10 primers that produced clear and ...

Heterogeneity can be studied for any dynamic or fixed environmental factors over time. However, determining the extent of heterogeneity occurrence in terms habitat suitability, variability and factors, as well landform role is an issue that has received less attention. This study aimed to investigate distribution Moringa peregrina at two climate change scenarios, identify Region High Heterogene...
