We investigated the responses of stomata to light in the fern Adiantum capillus-veneris, a typical species of Leptosporangiopsida. Stomata in the intact leaves of the sporophytes opened in response to red light, but they did not open when blue light was superimposed on the red light. The results were confirmed in the isolated Adiantum epidermis. The red light-induced stomatal response was not a...

Adiantum capillus-veneris is important endangered fern species with several medicinal properties. In this study, the leaves samples were extracted and separated using reversed phase HPLC with DAD for carotenoids, chlorophylls and phenolic compounds. Separation of carotenoids and chlorophylls were carried out using a tertiary gradient system of water, MTBE and methanol-water, while a binary grad...

The stomata of the fern Adiantum capillus-veneris lack a blue light-specific opening response but open in response to red light. We investigated this light response of Adiantum stomata and found that the light wavelength dependence of stomatal opening matched that of photosynthesis. The simultaneous application of red (2 micromol m(-2) s(-1)) and far-red (50 micromol m(-2) s(-1)) light synergis...

Medicinal plants have long been considered for the treatment of many diseases among Iranians and in recent years use medicinal has increased.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the cytotoxicity potential of aqueous extracts of Nepeta cataria, Fumaria indica, Borago officinalis, Adiantum capillus, Levandula stoeches on HeLa cell line. Leaves of plants were washed with distilled water, dried in shade, grinded to fine powder and stored in airtight container at room temperature in the dark until used. The powdered samples were s...

Adiantum capillus (AC) Linn (Family: Adiantaceae) commonly known as “Hansraj” It is used in common cold, cough, pyrexia inflammation, acts purgative. improves digestion and renal function. This study was performed to investigate the hepato-defensive potential of contradiction carbon tetrachloride tempted hepatic damage rats. The rodents were dosed with Acetonic extract (AEAC, 500mg/kg) against ...

Bu çalışmada, aloe vera (Aloe barbadensis), aynısefa (Calendula officinalis), baldırıkara (Adiantum capillus-veneris Linn.) ve kudret narı (Momordica charantia) bitkileri gibi bazı bitki kaynaklarının farklı çözgenler kullanılarak hazırlanan ekstrelerinin antimikrobiyal aktivitesinin araştırılması amaçlanmıştır. amaçla, bitkilerin n-hegzan, etanol, metanol distile su içerisinde maserasyon yönte...
