the present study was carried out to investigate cytotoxic activity of flower, leaf, stem and root extracts of five artemisia species against breast cancer cell line (mcf7) and human embryonic kidney normal cell line (hek293). the studied artemisia species were a. absinthium , a. vulgaris , a. incana , a. fragrans and a. spicigera . the cytotoxic activity was measured by mtt assay at different ...

The viscid exudate found on fronds o f the fern, Cheilanthes kaulfussii, consists of terpenoids in which flavonoid aglycones are dissolved. One of the terpenes is shown to be em-kaur-16-en-19-oic acid. The farinose frond exudate of Notholaena pallens contains this acid as the major constituent and its 3 /?-hydroxy derivative, together with flavonoid aglycones as minor components. In N. incana, ...

Ten germplasms of three Crotalaria species viz. C. pallida (Acc. No. 4250, 4803, 4805, 4806, and 4807), incana 4790, 4801, 4804, 4809), juncea (Local) were investigated cytogenetically through Chromomycin A3 (CMA) 4′-6 diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) fluorescent bandings. After CMA-banding, 10 showed 31 centromeric 34 terminal bands which indicated a tendency accumulating GC-rich sequences at r...
