Moringa is multipurpose promising tree particularly for medicinal use. With its high nutritive and pharmaceutical values, every part of the tree is suitable for human consumptions. The use of vegetate parts, seeds or extracts requires toxicological evaluations to prove and verify safety uses before being added to pharmaceutical medicine, or any other products related to human diet. In this stud...

moringaceae, a monogeneric family in capparales (glucosinolate-containing species), includes 14 species. one of them is moringa peregrina (forssk.) fiori., a small tree, which grows in south east of iran. volatile constituents of seed coat and stem of m. peregrina were determined by gc and gc/ms. moreover, extracts of seed and different cultured cells were analyzed by tlc and gc. three volatile...

Frankia sp., the actinomycetous endophyte in nitrogen-fixing actinorhizal nodules, may differentiate two forms from its hyphae: vesicles and sporangia. In root nodules of Comptonia peregrina (L.) Coult. and Myrica gale L., sporangia may be either absent or present. Nitrogenase activity and symbiotic efficiency were contrasted in spore(+) and spore(-) nodules of these two host genera. Seedlings ...

background: moringa peregrina (forssk.) fiori. is a small tree, which grows in south east of iran. the shoot and root of m. peregrina contain volatile oil which has several isothiocyanates. objective: to study the effect of salinity on volatile constituents of root and shoot of m. peregrina. methods: the experiment was conducted on randomized complete blocks design (rcbd) with 8 treatments and ...

Benthic foraminiferal faunas in a piston core from 3331 meters at 44 degrees N on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge show striking variations in the relative abundance of species. Uvigerina peregrina, which is broadly distributed today in the South Atlantic and in the Pacific in water that has been long isolated from the surface, is absent in the North and Equatorial Atlantic at depths occupied by highly o...

In this paper, the forth of a series dealing with the survey of freshwater gastropods of the state of Rio de Janeiro, the results of collections carried out in the Sul Fluminense Mesoregion from 2000 to 2002 are presented and revealed the occurrence of 18 species: Antillorbis nordestensis; Biomphalaria glabrata; Biomphalaria peregrina; Biomphalaria straminea; Biomphalaria tenagophila; Drepanotr...

 Background: As Moringa peregrina is a valuable medicinal plant in traditional medicine, it is necessary to determine responses of this plant to salinity.  Objective: To determine some biochemical and growth responses of Moringa peregrina to salinity at the seedling stage. Methods: This experiment was conducted in Institute of Medicinal Plants-ACECR, on base of factorial experiment as ...
