Background: Optimization of co-cultivation parameters during Agrobacterium-mediated transformation to Oxalis corniculata evaluated were bacterial density, infection period, acetosyringone (AS) concentration and temperature. Five fold efficiency is achieved in transient gus gene expression after optimizing various parameters. The optimized conditions Agrobacterium tumefaciens growth phase A600nm...

Pharmacognostical studies on Oxalis corniculate (Changeri) stem and leaves along with pre-liminary phytochemical studies are presented in this paper.

Five Oxalis L. plants belonging to three different sections were collected and subjected GC-MS analysis evaluate understand the relationship between them from chemosystematic point of view. The revealed identification characterization thirty seven compounds non-polar chemical classes which nine (two aliphatic hydrocarbons, one diterpene, fatty acid, four acid esters alcohol) identified before g...

Oxalis corniculata is a naturally occurring weed that has been used in traditional medicine for the cure of dysentery and diarrhea in India. One of the common causes of dysentery is due to infection by the protist pathogen Entamoeba histolytica. Bioactivity profiling of extracts from O. corniculata identified several compounds that showed antiamoebic activity in axenic cultures of E. histolytic...

I t has been suggested that potassium may enter Valonia chiefly as KOH which reacts with an organic acid HA in the sap to form KA, after which A is exchanged for chloride so that potassium accumulates as'KC1. This is not contradicted by any known facts and it is supported by a variety of evidence; inasmuch as this has recently been discussed I it need not be cited here. Other cations may act si...
