As a part of a programme on possible utilization of indigenous plant extracts in pest management practices, acetone extracts of eight plant species collected in the state of Andhra Pradesh, India, were tested for their larvicidal activity against the yellow fever mosquito, Aedes aegypti L. The buds of Tail Pepper, Piper cubeba L, Capers Capparis spinosa L and Indian Black Berry, Syzygium cumini...

Caper (Capparis spinosa L.) is a shrubby plant species recalcitrant to vegetative propagation and generally difficult propagate by seeds. This due the difficulties associated with seed germination, root induction from stem cuttings, hardening. Propagation tissue culture would be good alternative promising approach overcome limitations of conventional propagation. Tissue methods can used for clo...

natural antioxidants have an important role against damage by ros. this research had been carried out about ecological characters, phytochemical and antioxidant activity of capparis spinosa l. in semnan and golestan province. so in much field observation, different parts of c.spinosa were collected from two natural habitats in golestan (200 m) and semnan province (2100 m) during august to septe...

Objective: Fascioliasis caused by Fasciola hepatica L. (Fasciolidae), a digenetic trematode, is a parasitic disease infecting many people worldwide. The present study was carried out to evaluate the molluscicidal and larvicidal activities of Capparis spinosa L. (Capparaceae) aerial parts against Galba truncatula Müll. (Lymnaeidae) and Fasciola hepatica larval stages contaminating this snail in ...

OBJECTIVE Doxorubicin (DOX) is an effective anticancer drug but its clinical application is limited because it induces apoptosis in cardiomyocytes and leads to permanent degenerative cardiomyopathy and heart failure possibly due to oxidative stress. Recent studies showed that Capparis spinosa (C. spinose) exhibits potent antioxidant activity. So, in this study, we explored the protective effect...
