Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) was examined under natural environmental conditions in the succulent C(4) dicot Portulaca oleracea L. Two groups of plants were monitored; one was watered daily (well watered), while the other received water once every 3 to 4 weeks to produce a psi of -8 bars (drought stressed). Gas exchange, transpiration rate, and titratable acidity were measured for 24-hour...

objective(s): to evaluate the influences of aqueous extracts of plant parts (stem, leaves, and root) of portulaca oleracea l. on bioformation of silver nanoparticles (agnps).materials and methods: synthesis of silver nanoparticles by different plant part extracts of portulaca oleracea l. was carried out and formation of nanoparticles were confirmed and evaluated using uv-visible spectroscopy an...

KAYMAK, H. C., 2013. Effect of nitrogen forms on growth, yield and nitrate accumulation of cultivated purslane (portulaca oleracea l.). Bulg. J. Agric. Sci., 19: 444-449 The present investigation was carried out to determine not only the most appropriate nitrogen form but also the effect of these forms on growth, yield, element content and nitrate accumulation of cultivated purslane (portulaca ...

The Portulaca oleracea L. (P. oleracea) has been used to treat bacillary dysentery for thousands of years in China. Pharmacology studies on P. oleracea have also showed its significant antibacterial effects on the enteropathogenic bacteria, which might reveal the treatment of P. oleracea in cases of bacillary dysentery to some extent. To date, however, the therapeutic basis of P. oleracea treat...
